Put simply, I enjoyed Worms BG. A fair amount of gameplay hours (and more if you're into the worms pvp online) but not great but good or 'okay'. I can't complain as I picked the hard copy up for $35 and Worms Battlegrounds definitely provided me with my moneys worth of enjoyment.

'Worms' is one of those franchises that, once infected into a gamer's preferences, remains steady so long as there's somebody else to play against. It's more akin to a good board game than those virtual stories we often refer to as the best of video games; it's a mainstay, and Team 17 knows it.

It's been just under 2 decades since Worms hit our fingertips and over time the series has seen a mass of changes and innovations to keep gamers coming back for more. We take Team 17′s latest Worm incarnation for a test in it's latest next generation release.

The Worms Series started nearly twenty years ago and spans more than 20 titles available on nearly every platform along the way, so it's a safe bet that if you're a gamer, you're familiar with the series.

Classic Worms gameplay debuts on new consoles; Multiplayer is still chaotic and fun

It's the same game we've all played before; The presentation is sloppy; The game does nothing to take advantage of the new technology available on the new consoles

Old favourite. Fun for everyone.

It was good, lots of features etc and fun to play but I do miss the good old classical Worms. Controls take a bit of getting use to if you have played this a lot on PC in the past but not too bad at all.

The Worms series has been merrily rocking along for over 20 years now, but what does this latest addition, " Worms Battlegrounds " add to the venerable series?

The cute and very violent war-waging worms are back in Team 17's Worms: Battleground which has been released on the PS4 and Xbox One. The sense of character and humour that has always been a hallmark of the series is still there in Battleground and while I would have wanted Team 17 to innovate on...

Graphics are full of Humour and Character; Solid Old-School Arcade Turn-Based Combat; Playing against a friend in the same room is as FUN as it ever was

The gameplay is still essentially the same; Weak single-player campaign

Despite lacking a semblance of originality, with three or four mates Worms: Battlegrounds is more of the same fantastic multiplayer mayhem we've enjoyed since the PS1. While it's exclusive to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC generation, you'd be hard-pressed to find a definitive difference between...

+ The '90s formula is still great; + Customisation options; + Online multiplayer

- Way too expensive in Australia; - Single-player is rubbish; - Not really a current-gen game; - You could play almost any other version

I should probably have my gamer card revoked. I'm ashamed to admit that I have never once played a Worms game. The series has been around for almost 20 years, but I've always brushed it off as being another boring turn based strategy game.
