DESCRIPTION

UK developer Team17's signature series squirms onto Nintendo DS with the same 2D style and offbeat humor that has made the Worms strategy games an international success. The format remains identical to previous versions, as two teams of four worms alternate turns across an assortment of surreal landscapes. Each turn focuses on a single worm soldier, with the goal being to eliminate as much of the opposing team as possible before time expires. Twenty whimsical weapons and inventive items are available, including bazookas, exploding sheep, homing missiles, banana bombs, shotguns, jet packs, and more. Players will battle it out on randomly generated maps with six different themes, from jungle and space to the underworld and London. Multiplayer support is also available via hot seat, where players pass the DS to friends on their turns, or via local wireless connection. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
