    'Worms W.M.D' offers up some of the best multiplayer fun available on PlayStation 4.

    Well known and loved Worms had to wait a while for a game that is as good as old 2D installments of the series. Worms WMD proves that extreme modifications aren't necessary - the key is to give fans what they want: more worms, more destruction and classic physics. That plus some cool little new things turn this Worms game into a real gem.

    Worms W.M.D. has all the fun of the older games, combined with some genuinely unique vehicle and emplacement mechanics to see that this game feels different enough from previous entries to warrant a purchase.

    Worms W.M.D. reminded us why we loved Worms in the first place. It's inventive and fun, filled with hilarious weapons and gadgets, yet simple and intuitive. Away with 3D visuals, classes and liquid physics, Worms gets back to the roots and still adds new features to feel fresh.

    It’s the best Worms game in recent years, maybe even the best ever. It goes beyond rehashing fun from previous renditions and adds some cool new weapons and ideas. [11/2016, p.60]

    Smart subtractions and extremely worthwhile additions make this the best Worms in years. Ignore solo, enlist for multi. The more people, and the more local, the better. [November 2016, p77]

    Worms WMD is a back to the basics effort that proves the original formula is the best one. There is nothing broken about the gameplay. While it could use an injection of pace, it delivers a great experience both offline and in online multiplayer.

    As silly and sadistic as ever, Worms W.M.D. is a multiplayer hoot.

    Worms W.M.D is a much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise.

    Worms W.M.D remains faithful to the classics. This is key evidence that this series does not require 3D graphics or changes to the core concepts. Minor fixes and well-integrated innovations are enough to once again drag you in for countless hours.

    Still one of the best multiplayer experiences.

    W.M.D is a fun game, loaded with tons of content that should keep Worm fans and newcomers alike very busy. The series still has that sense of humour that it is so well known, while constantly adding in new features to deepen the gameplay experience. This one, in particular, is a really well formed game, and deserves to be on high multiplayer rotation for a long time to come.

    Although you’ll find just a few fresh touches within the proven formula, they lead to a few interesting new tactics to take your opponents’ worms down. You want Worms? You’ll get Worms.

    Don't overlook Worms WMD. These cute-looking creatures are big fun on the battlefield.

    Feels like a solid greatest hits compilation with some decent new material thrown in for good measure. [Oct 2006, p.80]

    This game is glorious. This is everything you would want from a worms game, carnage, glory, holy hand grenades. The controls are great, andThis game is glorious. This is everything you would want from a worms game, carnage, glory, holy hand grenades. The controls are great, and the music is fun. All in all this is a nod to old Worms again, and there isnt much more to say. its 30$, pick it up have fun, and blow things up. This worms have machine guns, so birds arent messing with them.

    buen juego y gran recordatorio de lo que fue la saga en la época de PS1

    la campaña es demasiado fácil con algún toque de dificultad absurda

    el sistema de creación de armas está bien, aunque es demasiado simple y hace perder la pureza de los anteriores, al final se acaba haciendo repetitivo
