W.M.D manages to add some interesting new aspects to the classic Worms gameplay, but it still feels almost identical to previous instalments. It's a great place to start if you're new to the series, but if you own one or two of the more recent games already, you won't find a lot new here.

Over the years Worms has tried a few times to freshen up its franchise by changing the formula a bit, sprinkling in 3D, and other gimmicks. Worms WMD is a back to the basics effort that proves the original formula is the best one. There is nothing broken about the gameplay. While it could use an injection of pace, it delivers a great experience both offline and in online multiplayer.

Vehicles, turrets, and crafting all freshen up the formula somewhat, while the new 2D art direction mixed with the classic simplistic structure of Worms campaigns make for a welcome and familiar experience.
