[GAME ON] Worms: Open Warfare 2 (DS/PSP) -- "Yeees, SIR! (squek-a squeak-a)"

BTP

Even though the game came out around September 2007, you may have only recently heard about this little gem of a Worms game through the demo on the Nintendo Channel. Or perhaps even on this forum.

Well, no matter. The point is we're starting some portable Worms fighting right now! If you don't have the game, it's only $10 new on Gamestop.com. For those of you in Canada, Future Shop and Toys R Us have it for $20, and if you're lucky, you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

And don't be thinking just because you have some other Worms game(s) that you can skip on this one. No, this game has been described has "less like “Another good Worms game,” and more like a definitive compilation for fans that also happens to be portable" in the IGN review, and yeah, it's pretty damn good. Single player puzzle and campaign modes, single DS hot-seat style multiplayer, single card multiplayer, multi card multiplayer, online multiplayer, modes exclusive to the DS version....just face it: This game is PACKED FULL OF GOODIES for the price being asked. For the rookies out there, it comes with tutorials to help you get acquainted.

So let's blow up some worms!.....and sheep too!

This game...was fantastic. I had so much fun with friends on this. Rope/jet pack races are awesome amounts of fun.

This game was fucking awesome. It's too bad the single card multiplay was so fucked up.

Anyway just a heads up, anyone who wants to pick up this game, it's only 10 dollars at Gamestop's gamedays sale.

Whooaaa, this is out for the DS?
I knew it was around for the PSP but not my loveable DS

Bought whenever I find a copy

How exactly is the DS version better? I have the PSP version myself I just bought the other day at the GameDays sale and before purchase I looked it up and the PSP version has an average 82% on Gamerankings while the DS version has an average 80%. I just went with the better reviewed version.

"Both versions of Open Warfare 2 trade in the familiar kind of crisp, cheery cartoon look that has been with the series for years now, though like the original Open Warfare, the PSP version wins by virtue of a bigger screen, whose horizontal orientation is simply a better fit for your usual Worms level layout. The controls feel fine on both versions, which means that if you can overlook the somewhat confining screen size on the DS, you'll still have some fun." -GameSpot

hmm ill load it up again on my psp later today and post - its been a good few months since i played it - all i remember was it feeling a lot more sluggish - i assumed it was because of the cooler background stuff which dont appear on the DS version. it was still fun on the psp and it does have the bigger screen..give me a sec to find the umd

ok it is a tiny bit slower, but no where near as bad as i remember...insignificantly so in fact. wonder why i hated it so much .. could be because i have a sticky square button that made backflips frustrating and i didnt test the online now...maybe that was it..- anyway, im going to change my first post

TeeMan

I've got the PSP version and I think due to this post I'll start getting some worms action back into my day

I got pretty annoyed at the online mode though. I usually only put on Worms for a quick 15ish min match to kill time, but some of the matches I played online went over a fucking hour because of goddamn girder-shielding/girder-blocking-in. Some people just slowed the game down to a crawl and it got extremely tedious...

BUT! With PAers this can only be awesome


Single player is also surprisingly good. You still come across the occassional worm who has unbelievable accracy, but overall its a much more balanced affair if you're any good.

I hate you.

I just impulse ordered it. Now I've got to find my DS before it gets to my house.

Lol I misread that "Now I have to find my DS before it gets out of the house." as if you were keeping it prisoner or something and didn't want it to escape.

BTP

Added your code, Mangaroo.

Anyone know how many codes can be stored?

I ordered it for 10 dollars + 5 dollar shipping at Gamestop.com, I've never played a worms game so I will train first.

My borhter got this for his birthday. We've played a few games of isngle card play. What's so bad about it?

Daemonion

See my sig for my friend code.

I just got it and am learning to play it on DS. My friend code is...how do I get it? My team's name is Border of Death.

LIGHTNING STRIKE RESURRECTION!!!

I'm nearly done single player, and haven't really tried any online except for one random match just now. I surprised myself with some of the strategies I came up with, even though I lost. As if blow-torching an enemy worm into an oil crate wasn't enough, try getting pinned between two enemy worms with almost no room to escape. Start it up with a Sentry Gun so that the enemy worms can't move to attack you, then follow it up with an escape to higher ground followed by sending down the Sheep!

As late as it is, I'm up for a round or two if anyone's interested.

I got this for PSP, how does one play against others in multiplayer? I've never tried it.

BTP

You mean there isn't an option that simply says "Multiplayer"? Local? Online? I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.

But then again, I have the DS version, so I doubt I could really answer it for you.

BTP

Alright! Anyone up for some wormy action?

BTP

Am I the only one IN THE WORLD that still plays this game? I've been trying to connect for a Worldwide match for quite a while and I'm still nowhere. Please, if you're just sitting in front of a screen reading this, at least go from one screen to two screens, and have both of those screens rain down sheepy/buffalo/donkey death.

While I'm here, is there a widely considered weapon scheme for any/every Worms game out there?
