Worms World Party For The N-Gage Platform Wriggles
Into Stores
Espoo, Finland, April, 13, 2005 –
Nokia and THQ Wireless today announced Worms World Party,
the wacky and addictive strategy title for the N-Gage platform,
is expected to start shipping this week. Worms World Party
gives gamers the chance to truly design their own fun in
this battlefield action with a shot of serious fun. The
game features co-op and head-to-head multiplayer gaming
modes allowing players to compete for wormy world domination
locally via Bluetooth wireless technology or internationally
over the N-Gage Arena.
“Worms World Party on the N-Gage
game deck combines the highly amusing, customisable game
play you expect from the title with unique multiplayer options.
Now fans can enjoy this loveable franchise whenever they
want and wherever they are,” says Pasi Pölönen,
Director, Games Publishing, Nokia.
In Worms World Party, players lead their
team of humorously animated worms into battle to destroy
all other teams and to gain total control of the battlefield.
Choose from a hugely diverse range of weapons and attacks,
from simple shotguns, grenades, and fire punches, to exploding
sheep, homing pigeon and mole bombs. As well as a great
arsenal, you can choose to traverse the bizarre environments
in a number of unique ways from ninja ropes and rocket packs
to teleporting – you’ll be a worm of the world
by the end of the game.
As a single player, take one of the 19
training missions before launching into one of 25 real missions
and then customize your own mission to ensure no two battles
are ever the same.
Look for Worms World Party in stores this
week! For more information and entertainment, go check out
