These are really fun and remind me of the older Worms titles approach to keeping things fresh, they are certainly a nice break from battle and provide variety in the game-play. Some of the more intriguing puzzles found in the campaign include timed ninja-rope/jet-pack challenges to increase your skill while challenging your speed. This calculation of physics with wind and ricochets factored in was so exact it was downright chilling and had me cursing and praising the enemy A.I. In this stage it was not the enemy's intense and merciless strategy that shocked me (which was impressive in itself) but the act a worm committed of lobbing a grenade against one wall only to have it ricochet off two walls and fall directly on my worm's head.
Often times you will be outnumbered in the campaign like this but these missions are truly essential training if you ever want to achieve a comeback in multi-player mode. I experienced came around a stage where the player faces off with just two worms against a small army. One example I found of this incredibly smart A.I.

This increase in difficulty is gradual enough for new players but will seem a bit abrupt for pros of the series who will easily dominate the first few scenes. begins to outclass even some online experts I've been up against and will have you spitting all over your monitor in disbelief at the skill and deadly accuracy of your computer-controlled opponents. Immediately after the first few stages the A.I. At first this was disheartening to me but for newcomers to the series I realize that it will still be challenging. The artificial intelligence starts off very dumb, often times killing itself off saving the player a lot of work. Using coins you earn by beating missions in the campaign you can unlock and buy things for your worms such as cool new hats to outfit them with, extra weapons for multi-player mode, more single player missions, etc. The campaign mode consists of some of your typical Worms matches which increase in difficulty as you go through them, eventually placing you into situations that feel impossible to walk out of alive, all the while making you a better player. The basics of Worms Reloaded are as follows, players will take turns controlling one of four worms to choose from a variety of interesting weapons and try to kill their opponent's worms while avoiding traps and death via destructible environment. I happily found that the game was better and better the more I played it, and now I am hooked.

When I cranked up Worms Reloaded I had mixed feelings, the expectations were high and the skepticism was on full blast, I needed this game to blow me away since I've already been there done that with the awesome but aging 2D Worms format.
That's why it was great to see Worms release on the XBLA/PSN and Worms 2: Armageddon which have brought back the 2D style of the game after some less than favored titles in 3D which I actually enjoyed on the PlayStation 2 but were nowhere near the caliber of Team17's other Worms entries.
As you may have heard my opinions in the past you will know that I'm pretty rough when things change for the worse. But make no mistake I am very critical of my games, especially the ones that are my favorites.
