    True, it's not traditional worms. True, the controls are tough to get used to. But once you (a) get over it and (b) get used to it, there's no better worms.

    Great fun, the only thing that bothers is that its hard to master. But if your into it, you can't get out of it. A great game, good graphics, nice gameplay and high replay.

    I think it is the worst game I ever played. I'm going to be blunt, it's just a stupid game. I can't get past how annoying the stupidity of all the characters are. All their stupid sounds they make and even the way they look makes me want to kill myself. I honestly don't know how people can actually take this pitiful excuse for a game seriously.

    The camera takes getting used to and it crashed on me a couple times but otherwise very fun. I'm a fan of Worms World Party and while this isn't quite as fun as that, it's still enjoyable, especially in two player mode. I did miss not being able to tunnel but that's life. If you like the Worms games, it is worth checking out.

    Having never played any of the original Worms series I did not know what to expect. But I have to say it is one of most enjoyable games I have ever played on the Gamecube. Good graphics, very playable and even better if all your mates are round.

    It's the dullest, most confusing game on the gamecube with crap graphics and not addictive as its 2d companions.

    The game had so much potential, with a variety of crazy weapons and lots of customizable parts. However they can't make up for the fact that this game is just frustrating. The controls just don't work, its very much about trial and error, which while that can be expected it should not be as large a part of the game as it is.

    Despite the criticisms, Team 17 has still managed to pull off an impressive evolution of a much-loved series. The core game has remained barely unchanged, but the 3D engine introduces a lot of unexpected elements to get used to, both good and bad.

    Singleplayer is weak - despite well-worked tutorial and mission modes it always feels like target practice for combat with friends - and the lack of online support disappoints. But despite a potentially hazardous dimensional switch, it remains as appealing a way of antagonising your friends as ever. [Dec 2003, p.108]

    If you dig its goofy sense of humor, or if you're a fan of previous Worms games, you might find something to like once you get past the 3D-induced flaws.
