 As part of the [[Worms]] series, Worms 2 is the second game to bear the name. Compared to its predecessor, it's much more mature, but doesn't yet shine with everyday features like adjustable screen resolution. In the singleplayer this game was a lot of fun for me. One of the reasons is that you can turn up all the weapons. The target attack (the one next to the air strike), for example, is just fucking awesome, but already kicked out in [[Worms World Party]]. As part of the [[Worms]] series, Worms 2 is the second game to bear the name.

 As I said before, you can't change the resolution of the game. It always has 1024x768. If you don't want to see this as distorted on widescreen monitors, you may have to set the appropriate settings in the graphics driver settings or on the monitor so that 4:3 images are also displayed as 4:3, with black edges. As I said before, you can't change the resolution of the game.

-Actually, the original Worms 2 has a network mode. In tests with two Windows 98 SE computers, the identical installations did not find each other in the LAN. The GOG version is even worse. With this version the LAN mode was simply deleted altogether, so that //only// [[Hotseat]] is still possible. +Actually, the original Worms 2 has a network mode.
