A neighbor in the apartment bursts into the room, publishing a cry of a shot gorilla, and flies to the computer. “What you play?" – "IN Max Payne 2 ". – “Come on, come on in“ Worms ”!"And we give. Three days ago I made a fatal mistake: I allowed him to win the party. Now I am doomed to the quart of three -hour duels … During a sudden attack of repentance, my colleague Andrei Alexandrov suddenly admits: “I just had to process you with a bat on a pumpkin and drop it into the sea … But you yourself have nothing to rush about a banana bomb”. I nod my head and portray an understanding look. Andrei does not know that last night I crushed him with a huge bronze donkey … only two clicks with a mouse – you climb into the settings and come up with new names in the worms in your team. This provides a charge of vigor for the whole day.
My kung fu is stronger than yours, Blue Dragon. You lived like a worm, and die like a slug!
Lord, I am ready not to sleep at night, shooting ringworms. Lord, I cannot force myself to approach the computer – this muck is installed there. Lord, I hate this game. Lord, I love this game! Lord, I’m Fr Worms 3D , If you don’t understand yet .. Loves – does not like Yes, they returned, damn it. Cult “worms” – a game that collected our friendly beer companies at the same monitor;the game that we played as professional sports, calculating the projectile for the projectile with an accuracy of half the Radian;The game, behind which we have honed our ballistic skills for years;a game, which we cut into it simply because after three bottles of “something” we had nothing more to cut … If the last five years you made a hiking around a trip, lay in anabiosis or for some no less respectful reasons did not find the hard epidemic of Worms, then specially for you, about lost people, we dedicate the entire following text. It is extremely recommended to everyone else to immediately proceed to reading the dicks “waited?"And do not score your head. Frankly, the idea of such a game appeared long before Worms -In 198 … -Ith year, along with the release of a certain entertainment under the name Scorched Earth. Two schematic tanks fell into each other with shells. First one – then the other. Shells flew along steep trajectories, green land crumbled around, but in general – it was fun. Then there was a word, and the word was-“g-basic”, “designer for a beginner programmer”. An example of a finished software code was applied as a bonus to the designer – a game Gorillas. In it, two yellowed gorillas stood on skyscrapers in the poses of Pushkin and Dantes and threw ligaments of bananas in the faces of each other. Such a fruit and vegetable fun was more fun than a sniffing shooting of tanks. Like from a horns of abundance, all kinds of clones suddenly sprinkled: two boats that shoot;two cowboys that shoot;Two gunners who shoot … Similar games were to have numbers.
If you carefully process Rolletto-Casino the gingerbread house with high-explosive houses, then in a couple of moves he will not even have a furnace pipe left him.
In the meantime, the VGA era began to imperceptibly in the yard-quite civilized times occurred. Office employees Team 17 For the first time I visited the idea to attach commercial legs to the concept. So Worms appeared-a command and tactical neighboring strategy about the deadly war of two samurai clans of rainworms. The worms abandoned the Pushkin duels and began to fight teams, grew their hands to hold bazuki, shotgun and grenades in them, learned to crawl, jump and collect bonuses … The result surpassed all the expectations – the game quickly reached the status of the cult, quickly gnawed at the sequel, overwhelmed with addons, went into local networks and reached the Internet. All five years of victorious procession Worms 2 On the planet, the developers constantly repeated the same phrase: “The third part will be in full 3D, and it will appear only when technologies will allow you to work with a three -dimensional image, not to the detriment of the quality of the picture”. Behind the cunning stationery for a long time, one very serious question was hidden: after the transition to the third dimension, it will be possible to preserve the grace of local gameplay, not to lose the entire primitive “worm” drive? It turned out to be possible. Hello again Let me present one golden indulgence in the redemption of the entire above historical excursion. Your humble servant did not rush from the very first lines to describe all the charms of gameplay, the amazing balance of the weapon and other vital things for one very simple reason. The fact is that Worms 3D is the same Worms. Absolutely. One to one. Only in 3D. Pick up what a catch is? The same shock brigades made of several worms, the same alternation of moves, the same puppet-thin landscapes with toy trees, the same gaming modes, the same multiplayer, the same bonuses … Damn, even weapons and … hmm … “gadgets” remained Exactly the same! Bazuki, grenades, mines, shotgans, parachutes, teleports, trained mail pigeons, explosive grandmothers, holy grenades, banana bombs … Khalus! Deception! Yes, any unexpected addon could offer three hundred times more innovations! Here, in the list of “features”, there is only one new item – 3D … but half an hour after the start of the knowledge
Gastello concentratively prepares for drive. Yes, we completely forgot to warn – the worms, although rain, but do not know how to swim at all.
Commercies suddenly come understanding. There is a click in your head, and you knock your forehead for a long time on the keyboard, every time you say: “Fool, fool, fool!"The main thing is to learn to distinguish between the two main components of the game in time: Rules and gameplay. The rules, yes, remained exactly the same – did not change on the iot. But the gameplay became completely different. It’s as if in football, instead of players, instead of players were released on the field of circus bears, the stadium was planted with cacti, and instead of the ball a spiken core of the king-gun. The meaning seems to be the same, but the sight is completely different. 3D sharply changed our view of things. Some actions, which before that seemed simple and obvious, suddenly acquired an ominous inner meaning. For example, it turned out that now it is not to shoot an opponent with a homing rocket – the task is by no means for average minds. From now on, in order to climb on a tarzany rope, you need to have the dexterity of acrobat from Shapito to aptly firing from a shotgun – take lessons from a professional huntsman and, the most banal so as not to miss from the bazuka – to be at least a mustachioed major of a military department with an in -depth study of artillery. Three -dimensionality dictates its own rules, imposes a completely different fight tactics. “Worms”, as we knew them, left irrevocably. Now this is a completely different game, albeit with the same rules. And I see you! We already wrote about the technical side of the case in the November issue " Gambling "when they felt in detail the demo version of Worms 3D. Therefore, we will pass only on the very tops. The developers managed to preserve the main thing – the indescribable atmosphere of the old good flat "worms". Toy lawns, toy trees, toy guns, toy explosions, toy violence. The local engine gives out a very pretty picture, the textures of acidic colors harmoniously fit into the general kindergarten surroundings, but the grimaces and jumps of the worldwitter worms themselves are just a song. A single campaign, which the author of these lines successfully ignored in all previous Worms series, suddenly turned out to be extremely exciting. And in many ways – thanks to the luxurious design of most levels. The developers openly stuck over all kinds of gaming cliches and reached the point that the very first mission occurs on an island called … Wormha Beach. The sky, covered/lit by artillery flashes, anti-tank hedgehogs on the sandy shore, landing rafts, machine-gun barriers and worms with names like Fritz and Helmut. Such a tender parody of an order of magnitude that had bored with the “landing in Normandy” mankind has not yet seen.
“Twisted, beat the twisted!"The more precisely the blow will be, the more chance that the opponent will fly into orbit, where it will freeze and turn into an artificial satellite of the earth.
A selection of missions in the campaign is amazing diversity. Here you have banal fights “wall to wall”, and special forces outputs into the enemy rear, and dashing Gastello maneuvers on the reactive satchel, combined with the collection of stolen boxes, and garden battles in the conditions of arriving water, and ramb -like battles like “one against all” … However, the main feature of the game, as well as before, the battle with the living with the living.rivals. A sea of ready -made commands, a settings ocean, an infinite number of random generation options. As before, the main feature of the new Worms is almost an inexhaustible game potential. *** Worms 3D is a newborn cult, a game that is written at least a couple of years of carefree existence on the hard drives. Our final rating is rather a conditional tribute of objectivity, a zilch that will not affect the movement of the Magometer Mountain of folk love. Such an anomaly of the industry is explained by only two words: Worms 3D delay. They drag out like the most terrible drug, with all the ensuing consequences: red eyes, trembling hands, painful breaking and firm promises “never, never play this muck again”. Tighten for no apparent reason. Just during the development of this game, two mighty energy lines came together somewhere in distant space, and humanity was hooked. Irrevocably pulled into a worm war. We sit all day in chairs, which is why our bones soften, and the body becomes elastic. We do not see the sun, our skin turns pale, and vasculars begin to shine through it, which gives it a pinkish tint. From the unlucky lying on the mouse, our hands become small and chubby, like that of a starving Carlson. We are slowly turning into huge, seasoned worms-mutants, Amigos. “Worms” is a brilliant invention of mankind, “our charms”, which must certainly be destroyed so as not to go crazy finally.
