The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A goofy turn-based artillery brawl that feels chaotic and comedic as you blow up the battlefield and your friends.

About

"Worms: Open Warfare 2 features a ton of single player content, new multiplayer modes like Forts mode and Race mode and of course you can customize teams and schemes to your heart’s content. On Nintendo DS the gameplay takes place spread over both screens, there is full support for all wireless modes including Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and the included landscape and flag editors are designed specifically for touch screen use. The Nintendo DS exclusive Laboratory mode features three types of experiments; Blow, Blast and Draw. Blow asks you to guide a parachuting worm to the exit by controlling the airflow in the level, Blast sees the player making explosions on screen to blast their worm to the exit and Draw allows players to draw directly onto the landscape to save a worm from being blasted into the water."
