Worms World Party served as the sequel to Worms Armageddon. In fact, it is notably similar to Armageddon, and was only developed because Sega wanted a Worms game to have online functionality for its Dreamcast.[1] Thus, Team 17 developed Worms World Party to include online functionality for that console, as well as including extra features to justify a Windows and PlayStation release, like Wormpot and Wormopedia. The Dreamcast port was praised for its online capabilities, with GameSpot claiming that it could offer "longevity and sheer excitement."[2] Critics also praised the other ports, but did criticise the game as too similar to Armageddon with only minor improvements included.[3]
