    A perfect fit for the PSP. It’s puzzle based so you don’t have to worry about control issues. The screen is super wide so you can see more of the map than normal and the game has no real continuity involved so you can pick it up and play a game without having to remember where you were at.

    It’s a perfect handheld game and something that’s bound to always keep a smile on your face.

    I still say that you can save some money and probably find a free downloadable version for your computer that is just as good, or maybe fork out a couple of bucks for a classic title.

    Without the infrastructure and game sharing, the game fails to capitalize on a lucrative multiplayer experience and instead settles for mediocrity.

    Classic Worms gaming on the go, let down by erratic worms and limited multiplayer options.

    I have a hard time finding justification for the reduction in weapons and the tragic loss of the true campaign mode. While it is still a fun game to play with some friends, it had the potential to be more so, and it also had the potential to be vastly more entertaining for a single player.

    Small in every sense. It's still pleasingly violent - but this is a bare-bones edition. [June 2006, p.69]

    I got this game for my birthday, and im loving every bit of it. I have loved Worms since the first one, and Worms Open Warfare is a trip back I got this game for my birthday, and im loving every bit of it. I have loved Worms since the first one, and Worms Open Warfare is a trip back to its roots. I prefer the 2D worms by far, the 3D versions are still good but its just not the same, using the bazooka in Worms 3D is virtually impossible.… Expand

    Ok game. Not bad but not amazing. I liked the 3D backrounds and the 2D characters but in every game against the computers, when it's Ok game. Not bad but not amazing. I liked the 3D backrounds and the 2D characters but in every game against the computers, when it's there turn you have to wait atleast 1 minute for them to actually move. Also in the previous worm games you could pick the worm you wanted to use. In this one you can't. Other then that this game is pretty good, and worth a buy.… Expand
