    It's just that both DS owners and Worms fans deserve so much more than a bog standard port. Open Warfare lacks the developer effort and imagination that could have made it a Worms game to remember. Instead it offers the bare minimum that you would expect.

    A port of a decade old PC game which really does not impress. There are many titles on the DS better than this, and also a lot more original.

    Ultimately, Worms: Open Warfare feels really undercooked. Everybody knows that there’s potential for a good Worms game on the DS – you’ve got the Wi-Fi online play, stylus allowing for mouse-like precision and all of that jazz, but Open Warfare doesn’t exactly make good use of any of these features. Regardless of that, the biggest insult is that the title can’t even hold up against its ageing predecessors – it really feels like the product was slapped together and shipped out as cheaply as possible.

The graphics are subpar and the AI is very inconsistent. This game gets an 8 due to the fact that it is a blast to play and never gets old. The weapons are limited, but a blast to master. Pick this game up. It is cheap and worth your time.… Full Review »
