Worms Open Warfare 2 Preview - DS and PSP

If ever there was a game destined for greatness in the handheld market, surely Worms is it? A game better in 2D than 3D, a game split into handily sized chucks, and ideally for this generation of handhelds, a game that is great single player and even better when played with a friend. Moreover, one where multiplayer can exist on one machine even as the turn based nature allows you to pass the console around. So, what will Team 17 do in Worms Open Warfare 2 to ensure the game makes the most of its natural home? Firstly, Worms Open Warfare 2 is very community based and secondly Team 17 reckons it has listened to the criticism of the original Worms Open Warfare (notably lack of weapons and online mode) and fixed it. We got an exclusive look at Worms Open Warfare 2, so download the free mag now to read the Worms Open Warfare 2 preview.Click here to read the full Worms Open Warfare 2 Preview for Sony PSP and Nintendo DS now!

Worms Open Warfare 2 Preview DS and PSP
When Worms first exploded onto handhelds last year, a few hardcore fans were left feeling a bit disappointed. Whilst the game was still fantastically enjoyable, many felt it was let down slightly by notable omissions, most specifically, the lack of an online mode, and the limited selection of weapons. So, when Team17 informed us they’d listened to the fan feedback, made the necessary changes, and offered us a chance to take a trip to their headquarters for some hands-on time with the sequel, we weren’t about to say no.
The single biggest change is that Worms is now fully online (hooray!) Both PSP and DS versions contain a full raft of multiplayer features, including messaging, friends lists, leaderboards, and even support for clans and downloadable content on PSP. The game supports up to four players online across all game types, and the leaderboards are comprehensive, tracking the best players, teams and clans – there’s even one for the world’s worst players!
