Simply maneuvering the fields feels like participating in a turn-based platform game, where you have to jump across watery gaps, swing from ninja ropes, and use jet packs to reach higher or lower levels. The 3D battlefields offer a lot more mobility than the old 2D ones, but whether that’s actually a good thing is debatable. But switching to a 3D world brings with it a host of predictable issues. While the 3D engine is much more washed out and not as sharp as its side-view counterparts, it certainly gets the job done. Sure, it’s in bright-and-colorful 3D, but the actual gameplay, despite the extra (and sure to be viewed as unnecessary) dimension, is virtually identical to the previous 2D incarnations. The second Worms spread out to countless iterations, each only bringing marginal improvements and enhancements over the original, and Worms 3D, doesn’t break the mold in that regard. It’s seemingly kiddy-oriented when in fact it is quite a cerebral, strategic experience that plays a lot like chess… with bazookas.
Some just can’t seem to associate greatness with a game that revolves around teams of heavily armed worms taking turns blowing the living hell out of each other. They might look infantile, but these are some of the greatest turn-based action games, flawlessly merging silly violence with tactical gameplay. It’s hard to describe the Worms series to someone without getting strange looks.
