Worms: Armageddon is all about worms duking it out with the weirdest, wildest, most over the top weapons they can get their hands on. The game starts with commando worms getting scattered across the map helter skelter. They pick themselves up and either wait for orders or start kicking the other team's butt.
Worms is totally cartoony and the weapons are a riot. Flying sheep, exploding moles, stinky skunks and giant ice cubes are standard weapons with a few machineguns thrown in for good measure. The levels are comical landscapes - a pirate ship, windmills, beaches and other strange places. The graphics aren't high-tech. They're simple, fun and perfect.
The sounds are goofy war cries, screams of 'Hot, Hot, Hot' when they're being toasted and odd weapon sounds. Different accents and a ton of strange sayings keep your worms going for hours of silly comments and smart-aleck remarks. It's not high-tech - it's just high-fun.
Hop on and play against the computer or your friends. The computer is pretty easy but nothing is as sneaky as your buddies - they're the real challenge.

How hard is the game?
The computer is pretty easy to beat. The real trick is to beat your buddies.
