ACCLAIM ENTERTAINMENT, INC'S 'WORMS 3D' IS LOCKED, LOADED AND TAKING AIM AT RETAIL


Award-Winning Franchise Features All-New 3D Graphics, Randomly Generated Landscapes, Infinite Gameplay Modes and Over-The-Top Weaponry for Current Generation Consoles and PC


GLEN COVE, NY, March 11, 2004 - Destined to lure consumers with its outlandish array of weaponry and laugh-out-loud moments, Acclaim Entertainment, Inc., today announced that it has shipped Worms 3D for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo GameCube and PC. Worms 3D expands upon the successful turn-based action strategy franchise that has sold over eight million units worldwide.  


"Team17 and its Worms franchise has developed a devoted fan base over the years by combining in-depth strategy with over-the-top weaponry and humor," said David Skelton, Brand Manager for Acclaim. "We believe that loyal Worms fans will be delighted with the transition from 2D to 3D, while new fans will immediately fall in love with its addictively fun gameplay."  


The dedicated video game media has the following to say about the game:   "Worms 3D is an excellent installment to the uber-popular Worms franchise." Editors' Gold Award 91% - PSE2  


"Possibly the greatest cult-classic series in the history of strategy videogames." - Official PlayStation Magazine  


"Pick this up, and you'll be throwing down with your friends for years to come, and it's not often that you can say that about a console strategy title." - Game Informer  


"...possibly one of the most addicting strategy/party games I have ever played." - Next Level Gaming  


"...the game itself is confident in its unabashed ability to charm you." - 1Up.com


  Worms 3D enhances the classic Worms gameplay, including favorite series' weapons such as ninja ropes, jetpacks and super sheep, as well as hilarious new weapons that were designed to take advantage of the new liberating 3D landscape. Worms 3D also includes fully destructible environments, more than 100 unlockable hidden features and a wide variety of single and multiplayer modes. Worms 3D includes head-to-head online play for both the PC and Xbox.  


Worms 3D is currently available for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo GameCube and PC, each at a suggested retail price of $29.99. The game will be available for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft later this spring and will feature head-to-head play via Xbox Live.

I wonder if Team 17 fixed the serious bugs in the GC version? PAL version is known to crash at random moments and present a nice screen full of text.
