Jun 2, 2014I extremely enjoyed this game, and it is definitely the best in the franchise that I have played. The story mode is brilliant, and the new features and weapons improve the game play considerably. With online and offline multiplayer available too, there is plenty of opportunity to play for hours. I was a little disappointed with the bugs that I encountered, but in the end it did not take away from the fun of the game.

Jun 25, 2014Worms Battlegrounds includes all the features that made Team 17's series so famous, offering high playability levels and great depth. Advised mainly if you're planning to play it with friends.

Jun 3, 2014It’s a new Worms game. That either appeals to you or it doesn’t.
-
Jun 5, 2014The best Worms chapter since Worms World Party, is a comprehensive game which includes almost endless multiplayer fun, along with good online features. Avoid it if you are just interested in the single-player campaign.

May 30, 2014Like most Worms games, you'll need other people to play with or risk monotony. Enemy AI still isn't the sharpest tool in the shed even this far in the game, and they can take far too long between turns, leading to boredom.

Jun 19, 2014While it’s a bit intimidating to newcomers, and the single player campaign can seem tedious as it relies on a tried and true formula, Worms Battlegrounds does offer a very enjoyable multiplayer experience that fans have come to know and love.
-
Jun 8, 2014There is an occasional awkwardness to movement that can make the single player story a bit of chore at times, but it does a nice job teaching the basics and serving as an almost extended tutorial for the good stuff - multiplayer mayhem.

May 30, 2014If you like Worms, you'll still love Worms Battlegrounds. Deathmatch and Forts modes are still fun when played with friends, but single-player feels like an interminable grind. Here's what you need to know, in a nutshell: it's a Worms game. Pure and simple.

Official Xbox Magazine UKJul 16, 2014Typically entertaining multiplayer gameplay let down by single-player campaign riddled with indecisive AI and unfunny narration. [Aug 2014, p.85]

Jul 8, 2014Worms Battlegrounds is still an entertaining and fun game, to say the least.
-
Jun 6, 2014ID@XBOX has brought us the classic Worms experience, with an irritating single-player campaign and disappointing design bolted on.
-
May 29, 2014The good news is that fans can now play a new Worms game on their new consoles; the bad news is that Worms Battlegrounds does almost nothing to advance the series and so makes it hard to justify yet another Worms entry to begin with.
