"I’ve been a casual fan of the Worms franchise for years. I might need to revise that to “hardcore” with Worms 3D."
"Everything that makes a game good is featured here: Worms 3D looks amazing, plays like a dream and is drenched in fun and funny. What more can you ask for?"

"Ultimately, fans of the series and newcomers alike will find plenty to enjoy in Team 17's Worms 3D. The lighthearted, quirky nature of the Worms franchise remains wholly intact, only delivered in a new setting that may take some adjusting to, but will still not fail to appeal."

"Successful evolution indeed"
"...done so well, that old fans will feel comfortably at home..."
"What is the strategy classic actually like in this brave new world? Refreshingly, and stunningly it remains largely the same."
"Worms is just as addictive as its predecessors, but features more thoughtful challenges and conquests."
"Pick this up, and you'll be throwing down with your friends for years to come, and it's not often that you can say that about a console strategy title."

"Awesome party game."
"Just as funny as ever."
"Worms 3D's new engine isn't a necessary improvement on the classic and enduring 2D game, but the upgrade works, even if it makes the controls a little more cumbersome."
"It still has the tone, humour and playability that is synonymous with Worms, so fans can take comfort that their slimy pink friends have come out sassier and stronger than ever, ready to kick some slithering butt."
"Well, the good news is that Team17 spent six years trying to get it right and on the whole, they've managed to pull it off."
"But as everyone knows, Worms is all about multiplayer and there are no disappointments in that department."
"...excellent Wormpot."

"Team 17, amazingly, has achieved what only the likes of the preternaturally talented master coders at Nintendo have everm anaged to translate a benchmark game into 3D and make it not only work, but actually improve on the original concept. We've been crying and hugging in the office, such is our relief. In a very manly way, obviously."
"Four player multiplayer will never be the same again."
""...another massives ection of society is about to be split asunder again."
"Brilliant 3D translation."
"Essential multiplayer."
"You have friends, you must buy this."
"The transition to 3D struck terror into our hearts, but this is a gem. The multiplayer is genius. Ours is a special brew. Pass the skins."

"It really does house one of the finest multiplayer experiences we've had to date, and one that remains largely unchanged...probably to the relief of teary-eyed nostalgics and to the disgust of dismissive remake cynics."
"Worms 3D looks great...it's perfect for the franchise. Thes imple worm models manage to convey an impressive amount of character through facial expressions alone, with cartoon awe, delight, fear and cockiness brilliantly realised along with those trademark high-pitched vocals."
"But of course there still remains the reason everyone loved Worms in the first place: multiplayer. It's as compulsive as it ever was."
"Worms 3D remains one of the most satisfying, addictive and downright enjoyable multiplayer gaming experiences I've ever encountered, online or no, and for that it scores highly."

"Worms 3D is a truly great game to play and is an excellent conversion from 2D, Worms 3D is just a brilliant game as it's older 2D games were but will keep you going for a long time, a little dash of Xbox Live would have been the cherry on the cake, but nether the less this is still one banana bomb of a game!"

"Team 17 deliver beyond all expectations, Worms 3D is like discovering the original for the very first time..."
"However 'Worms' should always be played with friends and to this extent the game doesn't disappoint, in fact 'Worms 3D' has taken over from the mighty 'Pro Evolution Soccer 3' as the most played game in the office."
"'Worms 3D' is utterly brilliant and everything that we could have hoped for. Team 17 have performed an excellent job of retaining the look and feel of 'Worms' whilst changing the scope of the game enough to make it feel fresh and new for everybody."
