Advantages: 3D, fun weaponry, distructable environments

Disadvantages: Loses some of its charm and simplistic appeal

Worms 3D is an action game developed by Sega and Team17 for the Playstation 2.

Worms 3D doesn't have any story but it does have a single player campaign mode for you to play through, in this mode you are required to complete a set number of challenges which allows you progress to the next mission. The tasks are usually quite basic ranging from eliminating enemy worms, picking up certain crates that drop from the sky and so on. It is a shame that there is no story but Worms has always been a more arcade like experience and never has contained a story mode.

The main revolution in the gameplay is the jump from the 2D landscapes to 3D, this allows for far more indepth gameplay as you now can roam around a far larger land allowing your worms the ability to hide under more things and more tactical play. Some of the fun has been sapped away as there is something quite simplistic and brilliant about the 2D landscapes in the older titles.

Weaponry is just as great as it always has been and you have a wide variety of the classic Worms arsenal at your disposal, pick from the standard Bazooka, grenades, banana bombs, homing missiles, shotguns to exploding old ladies and air strikes! The terrain is as with the 2D games is also destructible and sending in the games explosive weapons will no doubt blow everything to bits, especially if you play the game in multiplayer and use the 3x more explosive perk!

Graphics are more impressive than the previous games as it is now 3D and the worms have lots of funny animations and voices.

While it loses some of its simplistic appeal with the jump to 3D it is still a really fun explosive action game.

Summary: A good arcade shooter
