Worms 3D: A Single or Multiplayer 2D Shooter

Worms 3D is a 3-Dimensional iteration of the popular Worms game that has been released across a number of platforms, including the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox, as well as on multiple computer operating systems. Players must lead a group of warfaring worms to victory against another player or the computer, using a range of weaponry.

A vast arsenal

At the beginning of each game, any players or computer opponents start with a group of worms given randomly-generated names, unless the team is a custom one that has been created by the player. Each worm has 100 health points, plus a pre-allocated number of several different types of weapon. Players must utilise the weaponry at hand, including Bazookas, grenades, parachutes and machine guns, in order to reduce the health of all opposing worms from 100 HP to 0. Players win the game once all opponents have been wiped out. The single player mode has 35 missions to play through.

Final thoughts

This is an entertaining game over local co-operative or competitive play, but it lacks an online mode. The single player is fun for a single, limited playthrough.
