    Bought it yesterday. Took it back today. Need I say more? The graphix are unbelievably poor. Half of the tiny, so called, worm consists of a single eyeball. The other half, a tiny tail. Very dissappointing.

    This is without doubt the worst game I have ever purchased. This isn't the Worms we know and love, it's an abomination. For a start it's incredibly glitchy, it stutters, graphics flicker, animation is basic, sprites scaled beyond recognition, it fails to keep up with itself and the camera rarely settles on the action. All of the super weapons (Holy Hand Grenade etc.) have This is without doubt the worst game I have ever purchased. This isn't the Worms we know and love, it's an abomination. For a start it's incredibly glitchy, it stutters, graphics flicker, animation is basic, sprites scaled beyond recognition, it fails to keep up with itself and the camera rarely settles on the action. All of the super weapons (Holy Hand Grenade etc.) have been removed and there is very little scope for customisation. There is no wifi online feature, menus are plain... and even the touch screen is ropey. Avoid at all costs. This is truly an horrendous conversion of the classic Worms. It plays like a fan-made imitation.… Expand

    Though Open Warfare marks a welcome return to 2-D for the turn-based action-strategy franchise, these annelids, are starting to show their age. [Apr 2006, p.83]

    The DS game supports the touch screen for mini-map movement as well as weapon selection, but suffers from a lower resolution and a restricted display area. The PSP game looks much prettier, but requires more button presses to navigate.

    Challenges are also oversimplified. Where single-player challenges in previous Worms games had cool objectives such as shotgunning targets and parachuting to grab mid-air items, Challenge Mode in Open Warfare is merely team combat.
