Review of Worms World Party for N-Gage
Published by Tzer2 at 12:58 UTC, June 4th 2009
Over on AAS's sister site Ovi Gaming, we've been taking a look at the long-awaited Worms World Party and can finally present our long-awaited review of the game. Lots of people love Worms to bits, and it was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed games on the original gen N-gage, but what is the next gen version like?
Worms is a deceptive game in many ways. When you first look at it it seems so simple and almost childish, but the more you play it the more you realise how devious and grown-up it really is. There aren't any flashy graphics trying to get your attention, it's a game based almost entirely around the gameplay, and the fact that it continues to be a big hit on phones, consoles and computers is testament to just how good that gameplay is.

I did a video for the review too, hopefully we'll have videos on all our reviews from now on so you can see exactly what the graphics and gameplay is like.

Anyway how do you do the screen capture?

1. Get a phone with TV Out (you'll know it's got TV Out if it comes with a cable that has three prongs coloured white, yellow and red). N-Gage phones with TV Out include the N79, N82, N85, N86, N95, N95 8GB, N96 and N97. Non-N-gage phones with TV Out include the 5800, 6220 and others.
2. Get a Composite-USB adaptor from ebay or elsewhere. The cheapest ones should work although you may have sound problems with them. I use a slightly more expensive adaptor called the Grabster 150.
3. Install the capture software that comes with the adaptor on your computer, attach the phone to the TV Out cable, attach the TV Out cable to the adaptor and then attach the adaptor to your computer.
4. Start up the capture software, select the record analogue video option (or whatever it calls it) and use your phone.
5. When you stop the recording it will save the video as a file on your computer which you can then edit with any major video editing app such as Windows Movie Maker (which comes free with all Windows computers). You can then upload the file to YouTube, Ovi Share etc etc.
thanks for the tip. I should try this.
Each human controls many worms of course, but there would be up to four teams of worms.
I've played some matches with four teams, it's really good fun as no one is sure who to go after and the dynamics of the match can change quite quickly. If you're lucky you'll watch everyone else wipe each other out, then you can quite easily win against whoever's left... :-)
If you like WWP on N-Gage, you might like to try Reset Generation which is another multiplayer comedy strategy game with four-player online. You can play the full version on your PC for free here if you want to try it out:

...and if you want it on the move you can buy the mobile version from the N-Gage app.
You can browse other N-gage titles in our N-Gage games section:

As well as Worms, my personal N-Gage favourites would also be Hooked On: Creatures Of The Deep, Bounce, Mile High Pinball and System Rush Evolution.
