Which worms game is the best?
That is, if you've actually played any of them...

Worms 1
Worms 2
Worms World Party
Worms Armageddon
Worms 3D
Worms 4

I can't decide between Worms 2, WWP or Armageddon - they seem similar, but are different somehow...

Edit:
just to chime in, it's 'Worms Armageddon'. Armagetron is an awsum GPL lightcycles game.

Oops! Fixed. I like GLTron better in terms of the original graphics + modding capability, except you can't make the map as huge...I wasn't overly excited by by experiences with Armagetron...maybe I had the wrong one...

Re: Which worms game is the best?
I think we all know that Armageddon is best closely followed by world party. . . .
Armageddon had the most weapons, World Party let me play it on the train. 
The rest are inconsequential. Although it goes without saying that I tip my hat to Team 17 for making the original or we'd have none of them.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

Worms 1, the Director's Cut. Graphics got way better later on, but I never had the same sheer fun out of them as I did with the original. Even now, it is not uncommon when my brother is visiting for me to fire up an amiga emulator and challenge him to a showdown, a challenge which he gladly accepts :D

Re: Which worms game is the best?
(not played worms 4)

i probably have the most hours clocked on the origional but i think WWP is the best as i thought armagedon was not as well polished in some respects

Re: Which worms game is the best?
ive probably played all of those, but i always go back to armageddon.

worms 4 was pretty cool, in that it was 3d. kinda had that red faction geomod feel. other than that, it was just generally annoying.

Agreed. DC is definitely the best of the lot. I still laugh when people mention that Worms is a PC game.

Re: Which worms game is the best?
I remember playing a burned copy of Worms 3.  Ah, that was fun with its Cluster Banana Bombs, Concrete Donkeys, and of course, the Holy Hand Grenade.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Re: Which worms game is the best?
I've played 'em all, and Armageddon is the one that gets the most right. :)

Re: Which worms game is the best?
Armageddon is my favorite, and I don't really see that much difference with WWP, so it's worth a go as well. Worms on the Xbox Live Arcade isn't bad either.

IMO, Armageddon was the best because it did nearly everything right, while WWP was really more of the same, so it really didn't add much new to the franchise.

Re: Which worms game is the best?
I played worms 3d and was not impressed. The 2d worms had it going on though.
Hedgewars the free opensource rip off of worms.
Openlierox the free opensource rip off of liero.
Play them for free if you don't actually have the real games?

That Hedgewars is exactly the same except for the part that is supposed to be a worm...

...but the worms are what make the game I think...

Re: Which worms game is the best?
Armageddon's the best by far. 

Also since 90-whenever I always field the same team.
 
The Autobots, featuring Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz and Hound. :yes:

I always stuck with the same team - team name varied, but the same core troops:

Deathstorm, Concrete, Brickwork, Freezeezy and Slaphappy - usually stuck them with Afross, Stoofer and Scotty from the autogen set.

Poor old Slaphappy, never seemed to survive until his turn... even if I had to shoot him myself to maintain the cycle.
