Worms Forts Under Siege Live! Enabled

The number of online enabled games for Xbox scheduled for the coming months is positively swelling at the moment. Alongside Halo 2, Burnout 3, Full Spectrum Warrior et al, Worms Forts Under Siege has now joined the rank of titles confirmed for Live! play. It's a logical step for the popular franchise, as Worms titles work best as multiplayer games. Alongside the standard offline multiplayer features, there will be straightforward 'Quickmatch' options as well as the specially tailored 'Optimatches' for Worms connoisseurs, allowing up to 4 players to compete in full scale world-wide wriggler warfare.

WFUS will also make use of Xbox Live! headsets and buddy lists, facilitating the provocative and slanderous verbal slanging matches that make Live! games so entertaining. Worms will also be available with online play for PS2 and PC. Early birds should keep an eye out for a European release this autumn.
