Worms 2: Armageddon trailers bring the fire, new feature

by Richard Mitchell { May 15th 2009 at 11:45AM }

Team 17 has released not one, not two, but three new trailers for the upcoming XBLA release, Worms 2: Armageddon. The trailers show off some of the features that will be available in the game. Two features returning to the series (but absent from the previous XBLA release) are fire and electromagnets. The fire is fairly self-explanatory: It will spread and damage things in its path (and cause certain items to explode). The electromagnet can either repel or attract enemy ordinance depending on how it's used.

Finally, one new feature is revealed: Player reactions. Did you ever find it strange that enemy worms would just calmly sit there as a stick of dynamite slowly ticked away next to them? Those days are over. If you drop something nasty next to another worm now, they will appropriately express their mortal terror. Check out all three trailers after the break.

I love me some Worms action. Why on earth did they just release Worms on the PSN when they have this now? I would guess our PS3 friends will not be getting it? Anywho, I played the heck out of the last Worms on XBLA and I will get this one day one. I was a bit angry that Team 17 never released more maps for the first XBLA outting, nor did they fix the Manhattan map for multi-player.

Just watched the trailers. Now I am super soaked, errrm, I mean stoked!

Maps, absolutely. I bought the Manhattan map and it didn't work, and then it disappeared from the marketplace so I could not re-download it(that was quite a waste of ms points). But yeah, day one purchase for sure on this one.

CONCRETE donkey.

This looks a LOT more like the worms I know and love. Not that crap they previously released on Xbox Live.

The first worms was alright, they just forgot to include the weapons.

So will this have the great weapons that the original XBLA version lacked?

I had a lot of fun with the last one. I'll definitely be picking this one up. Team 17 is responsible for Lemmings as well aren't they? Where is Lemmings for XBLA? And why hasn't there been a Lemmings Vs. Worms game? I don't know how it would work but I would like to see it.
