If you've ever played Liero (a cult freeware classic that is available right here on Gamehippo), then you'll pretty much know the basics of what to expect: Take control of a character and dig your way around the map, picking up weaapons and other power-ups and blowing the opposition to pieces. Well, that's pretty much what Captain Pork's is about but it also throws in more than it's fair share of twists to the formula. Before your character spawns (or respawns after dying) you get a choice of what type of soldier you want him to be. There are plenty of choices, each with their own strenghts and weaknesses; pretty much every playing style is catered to.

There are guns aplenty as well. In fact, I doubt I have ever seen such an assortment of weaponry and other mechanisms of destruction in any other game. It's lots of fun to search out new weapons and test them out on your little friends.

There are tons of customization options in CP:WoV, ranging from A.I. difficulty to sand color, as well as game modes, which include the basic but always fun deathmatch modes to other, more original, modes such as "Collect the Fruit". Good stuff that'll keep the game fresh for a long time, especially if you have some buddies to play with, since Captian Pork is kind enough to support both hot-seat play and direct IP connection play, along with an experimental IPX mode, which does not work.

Bottom Line: Captain Pork's World of Violence is violence the goold old fashioned way. Even if you're like me and don't like Liero you should give this tiny game that packs so much a try. Just make sure to read the Readme file for full info on how to play; I was lost until I read it.
