One of the most visceral puzzle games ever made. [Feb 2003, p.77]

The control is great and unique, the modes are plentiful, and the multiplayer mode is a lot of fun.

Would have been a great game… six years ago. Now, it’s nothing groundbreaking, creative or innovative.

Has its fun and addicting moments, although it is hampered by uneven level design, loose control, and a confusing menu scheme.

A welcome diversion. [Jan 2003, p.106]

Gamer's Pulse
While not all of the gameplay is captivating, I honestly enjoyed the battle mode as much as I enjoy multiplayer "Bust-A-Move," and that is a high compliment indeed.

The game retains the cuteness of the series, but loses the excellent gameplay that made the other Worms titles so addictive and fun.

I found myself really disappointed by this unwelcome shift away from the giddy worm-versus-worm combat of earlier games. [Feb 2003, p.88]

Kenny Y. gave it a 10:
I think it is very cool because every game of Worms I've played so far is very good.

Carl N. gave it an 8:
This aint Worms as you know them, and if you hate puzzle-games this wont convince you either. But this is an exellent puzzle-game, it is fun and addictive. A charming must buy!
