    While 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.

    There 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.

    If 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.

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

    Worms Battlegrounds is still an entertaining and fun game, to say the least.

    ID@XBOX has brought us the classic Worms experience, with an irritating single-player campaign and disappointing design bolted on.

    The 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.

Marty, je veux revenir en 2014Mais... euh ? des vers vraiment ? qu'est-ce que ce jeu Amiga fait sur ma Xbox One ? retour vers le futur ? Marty, je veux revenir en 2014 parce que 1987 j'aime pas ! ça pue du cul ton pseudo-jeu à faire vomir un bouc ! maniabilité à revoir, interface défectueuse et toute la partie sonore me file la migraine. A la limite, déposez ce genre de daubes chez Nintendo, pas chez nous, merci.… Full Review »
