Description
"It's rare that a videogame can remain just as relevant today as it did at the turn of the decade, but precisely because of the stylised graphics, simplistic physics and endless customisation options, Worms remains evergreen to this day." - StrategyInformer.com
"This is the biggest, prettiest Worms, yet. Strategy fans will find one of the most fun multiplayer games around, and there is plenty to do on your own, as well." - IGN.com

It's Worms
Endyo | Oct. 4, 2011 | See all Endyo's reviews »Really. Not a lot of new in this game if you've played Worms before, but it's still a fun experience. You have all of the basic standard Worms warfare with all of your standard options and a few more new modes to spice things up. Of course most people play Worms not for any amount of single player glory, but for the challenge and tense standoffs that are brought about by multiplayer games.
There's plenty of that to go around in this game, though the games can get very slow at times. Once you master some basic techniques and understand the function and basic trajectory of each weapon, you can pretty much compete with anyone playing the game.
There's not a lot to say about Worms: Reloaded if you know anything about worms. You'll be using various weapons and items to attack and defeat your wormy opposition. Often times they're whimsical and hilarious. No matter what you do, it will create some sort of ridiculous outcome that will bring you plenty of entertainment. If you don't have a popular Worms game available to you, I'd definitely suggest getting this, but if you do - it's not really anything that will blow you away.

Solid, but doesn't reach its potential
Johnnsen | Aug. 24, 2011 | See all Johnnsen's reviews »This game is what you would expect. A modern worms, that still feels classic. The online mode is a little barebones and could have been executed way better, especially at launch. It works alright though. There is great fun to be had when you play with other people, especially when you are 3 or 4 players. The graphics are nice and feature new effects, and the mac version is a welcome addition. If you love Worms, this is a good game, even if its a little flawed.

After 9 Years, We Get This?!
GMGReviewer | Aug. 24, 2011 | See all GMGReviewer's reviews »Team17 is a legend in the PC gaming community. They been in the industry for such a long time and mainly do PC games (at first), but not with this port.
The game as a whole is good, it runs good, plays good and looks good. But the controls! The awful 'arrow keys' port controls! Also the loading between players when you play online.
Bottom line, the game is a port of Worms 2 Armageddon on XBLA and i'm disappointed in Team17. They could've made the port a good port and have it support the native keyboard and mouse like Worms Armageddon for the PC. After about a decade, this is what PC gamers get?!
Although, I cite a few of negativity towards the game, Worms Reloaded is a one of a kind game that only Team17 can produce. There's no other game out there like it so if you're interested in a simple turn-based strategy game with lovable little characters and don't mind the keyboard controls, get this!

Welcome back worms!
pman | Aug. 15, 2011 | See all pman's reviews »Worms 2 was my favorite game when I was young, and now with this remake i can enjoy all those memories again. This remake has everything that made the original worms games so fun. Crazy weapons, funny sound effects and genuinely solid game-play. this is an excellent and much needed addition to this series after some very questionable games.
The only negative thing i can say about this game is that it is perhaps a bit too similar to worms 2, there doesn't seem to be too much in the way of new content.
However, that being said i still highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoyed worms in their younger years, or someone who just wants to see what all the fuss is about.

Old Worms are back!
Doodier | Aug. 12, 2011 | See all Doodier's reviews »Wow, I've spent ridiculous amount of time with the predecessors, especially Armageddon. And I'd like to say to you that this is very cool follower! It has the tempo of its old brothers and very nice graphics. The main thing here is the multiplayer mod and the singleplayer is more likely just for understanding the game mechanics and practice different weapon types. I think you will be amused by this.
