THE GOOD:
The wonderful Worms formula works in 3D

THE BAD:
Except now it's hard as heck to aim some weapons

SUMMARY:
Worms don't kill worms. Worms with guns do. And these li'l buggers go out of their way to exercise their right to bear arms (despite not having actual arms) in this 3D update to the much-loved strategy series. Here, you control squads of cute-but-deadly worms who take turns blasting each other to hell with arsenals the Pentagon and Wile E. Coyote would love to have. But it's the intentionally fallible controls that turn this game from fun to hilarious. For example, before you toss that cluster bomb, you have to compensate for distance, wind, launch speed, arc, and momentum. And since you're probably not Rain Man, you'll get a lot of errant explosions that make for laughs-out-loud at your next party-game session. Not the multiplayer type? Try the billion single-player scenarios that are set up like missions, not just all-out deathmatches.
Unfortunately, while the fantastic Worms formula stays intact here, it becomes infinitely more difficult to gauge distances, wind, and all that in 3D. For that reason alone, i can't reccomend this one over its 2D predecessors.

THE GOOD:
Good range of weapons
Worms but in 3D!
Plenty of tactics envolved
Tons of single-player missions
Multiplayer is bundles of fun and madness
Generally quite funny

THE BAD:
Awkward worm control
You see some weapons you can't use
Repetitive worm quotes
Computer is too damn good...
Glitchy environments

SUMMARY:
Worms 3D is a great action strategy game. Anyone who had played any previous Worms game will know their stuff. It's all about trying to take out the enemie teams using brains and weapons. That brings me to my next point. The weapons are great. There is alot of weapons that fictional, Like old women and exploding sheep. These type are highly fun and silly. The real weapons like uzis and bazookas are a laugh aswell. Playing this is brill. This game is turn-based and if you want high packed action, you've came to the wrong place. You can do plenty of things like getting the shotgun, shoot the barrel next to the worm and making him fly into the sea or whatever. The main gripe with Worms 3D is control. The controls aren't bad it's just moving about. It's fiddly and your worm will do something you don't want them to do. The graphics are fine but I found a few glitches. This game is good and Worms fan will love it. Indeed...
