  It's largely the same entertaining experience that Team17 has been iterating for years now, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you've never played a Worms game, and you have a couple of friends handy, by all means dive in. Series vets, on the other hand, will have to ask themselves if a few changes and "more new weapons!" is still enough of a reason to grab the latest Worms game. For many, I suspect it is.

  Worms Revolution is more Worms, but it’s more Worms with a few quirky twists. Though the water looks like jelly, it adds some never-before-possible mechanics into the world of Worms that make you ponder your plan of attack more thoughtfully. You’ll have your fair share of frustrations with Worms Revolution, mostly with weapon-to-environment collision issues, but it’s not nearly enough to take away from how fun this series still is, especially if you’re a longtime fan.

  Worms Revolution is as good as the franchise has ever been. It's good old psychotic fun, and that's all I really wanted. Yet, after 17 years, it's still very much the same game. Those looking for a refreshing take on the basic formula might be a tad disappointed, but in the face of watching suicidal grannies take out wriggly cannon fodder, or self-destructing moles, I think that disappointment will be short-lived.

  5.0

  If the developers had just added the new fluid dynamics and classes, but kept the environments the same, Worms: Revolution would be an enjoyable, if uninspired, entry in the series. But, with the 3D environments, Worms: Revolution becomes something far worse. It's noble to try to bring some changes to this long-running franchise, but only if they're well-thought out, patient, and beneficial to the strategy at the heart of the series. The rewrites in Worms: Revolution are not.

  7.9

  Scrambling for some mysterious, hilarious weapon harbored in a crate, landing an impossible shot, or carving out the land for an assault continues to be what makes Worms’ game of destructible chess worthwhile. It's easy to write off the single-player campaign, but the heart and soul of the multiplayer stays the sure and steady path. It may not be advertised revolution, but this long going war is one worthy of enlisting in.

  6.0

  Worms: Revolution isn't always successful in its quest to deliver an engaging, wacky strategy experience, but when it works, it's great. It's a game best experienced with friends, and the graphical upgrade, dynamic water, and familiar gameplay should please longtime fans of the series. Some changes to the single-player modes, especially a better difficulty balance in the campaign, would have gone a long way towards making it a better game.
