Stephen's Rating: 5/10

Basic Plot

None.

Gameplay

MoleZ is essentially a realtime version of Worms. Instead of taking turns, players engage in battle in real time. Maps usually start out covered in dirt, and the player needs to burrow to find the enemy and engage them with a series of weapons (very similar to Worms).

MoleZ could be played by up to four players on the same computer.

MoleZ is similar to its successor Liero.

Here you can see a game, caverns which the players burrow out from the earth to engage each other. A lot of the game is about approaching your enemy without getting hit first.

Positives

This was a fun and light game to play and was something I played a fair bit of with a friend of mine at university. I had a very old computer, and could only play low spec games, and this was suitable for that purpose. The game is fun and social.

Negatives

Two players on one computer is annoying as hell, it would be nice if there was network multiplayer support.

Memorable Moments

None.
