THQ will publish Drawn To Life - Image 1Incoming! According to gaming site Eurogamer, THQ just confirmed that Worms: Open Warfare 2 will be available both on Nintendo DS (DS) and PlayStation Portable (PSP) this July. The confirmation came from the publisher's latest release schedule.

The original Open Warfare (DS and PSP) featured a gameplay that is reminiscent of classic Worms titles. Players take control of a worm army, loaded with every weapon imaginable, to destroy the opposing worm army. This title became rather important as it marked developer Team 17's return to its 2D roots.

Anyway, THQ was unable to give out any new details about Open Warfare 2. But we're pretty sure that the sequel will remain loyal to the original video game although with improvements here and there. We wonder if new weapons will be introduced to the game. We're still kind of hooked with the banana bomb.

On a related matter, the above mentioned release schedule also included a DS title called Drawn To Life. THQ was also quite mum on this but we heard that gameplay involves drawing whatever images that will eventually populate the in-game world. Your drawings will literally come to life. This game is being developed by 5th Cell and is slated for a September 2007 release.

More on these titles in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

Worms Open Warfare for the PSP sucked compared to Worms Armageddon for PC, and even PSX. (Although you could always emulate that version with POPstation, but it's not as customizable as the one for PC. Anyway, the physics, the AI, and the customization of it all for Warfare needs to be improved (like Armageddons). Graphics were just fine for Worms, same with the controls, although it's kind of hard to mess something like that up. Even though it sounds like I don't like the game, Worms is awesome, and I still play it, I just wish they'd kind of go back to their roots. Nothing says "Stfu" like a Holy or Banana Bomb. Hopefully in the article where they said they will remain true to the old video game, with improvements, that would be sweet to see.

I love the worms games. I like to see what weapons they put into the thing, butwhen i came across open warfare i was a little disappointed. There was barely any weapons, maybe #2 will have more =/



I give worms open warfare a 6/10

Open Warfare for the DS was horrible. The PSP version was supposed to be good, but the DS version really was pathetic. Horrible graphics, not many weapons, not that customisable, it was just bad all round. The best thing was the sounds, as it still had the funny voices. I hope Open Warfare 2 will be better.

The worst news was seeing that it would once again be dual platform. I've loved every 2D worms, but that one bit. Poor graphics, poor use of touch screen & dual screens, buggy as hell (don't know how many times I got stuck in terrain), very limited weapon set. It could have been *the* game to have for DS, especially if it had WFC support. Instead, it's something I can't recommend out of the bargain bin.
