The gameplay was essentially a copy of the popular Worms format but reimagined in 3D, three years before Team17 took their series down that path with Worms 3D. This one provided me with hours and hours of single and multiplayer fun. I later bought the full game with its stand out cover art featuring a helmet with the words Born to Grill-one of the many pig references throughout the game. I first encountered Hogs on a demo disc for the Official Playstation Magazine, and it struck me as something special from the first time I played it, mainly because I love bacon and shooting stuff.
Hogs of War was released for the original Playstation and the PC in mid-2000, after the Playstation 2 had been released but before most people had upgraded to Sonys newest machine, the cash-money needed was just too much. This tactical third-person war sim was a charming game with outstanding gameplay, but perhaps failed to achieve the popularity and success it deserves.
If you remember making turn-based bacon with war torn pigs in the Playstations twilight years, then you probably enjoyed Hogs of War.
