Worms: Battle Islands drops a bomb on PSP
An island conquering online affair
Considering the number of Worms games that have been released, you might think pretty much every gameplay option for turn-based multiplayer trajectory weapons experiences has been thoroughly explored.
Well, think again.
Team17 is highlighting several innovations in the release of Worms: Battle Islands for PSP via the PlayStation Network.
The worm has turnedThe first is the option to create your own style of button-bashing death - whether melee, projectile, explosive or strike - in the ominously named Weapons Factory.
The other is more significant. As highlighted in the game's title, when playing the Tactics mode, you can unlock new tactics in the form of secret bases.
Each one of these 16 islands allows you to gain an advantage at the start of a battle. Defeat an opponent online, and you get to take one of their islands for your base. Lose, however, and your competitor will take one of yours.
Also exclusive to this version is a PSP Time Attack mode. Online play is supported for up to four players in adhoc and wireless set ups.
Worms: Battle Islands is available now as a digital download via the PlayStation Network, priced £15.99/€19.99 in Europe and $24.99 in North America.
