Jan 10, 201150Truth be told, if you are a diehard Worms fan, there is a lot of content here: character and weapon customization, local and online multiplayer, 30 campaign and puzzle stages, and core Worms gameplay essentially untouched, just how you like it. But I've never found the franchise to be more than a gimmick repeated ad nauseum, and the lack of innovation and unwillingness to take meaningful chances with the all-too-familiar formula makes this a mediocre experience before it even starts.

Jan 7, 201160If you can get some friends together for local multiplayer, you'll probably have some fun with this title, but if you're picking it up and hope to get into the online side, I'd definitely suggest avoiding this one.

Jan 18, 201142The game looks really crappy for a 2D title on any console, and plays exactly the way you think it would.

Dec 19, 201070It won't win any new fans nor will it disappoint the market it was aimed at. Worms: Battle Islands is a thoroughly addictive game and must be played amongst friends to truly enjoy it.

Jan 19, 201170Still, both Worms veterans and newcommers alike should check out Battle Islands; with such little left to expand on, this is probably as good as it's going to get. [Feb 2011, p.87]

Jan 18, 201150If you've never played a Worms game before, only own a Wii, and want a low barrier for entry, then I highly recommend this game. However, if you've ever played a Worms game before, or own any other video game system released sometime in the past decade, find a Worms game for that system, as it is probably way better than this neutered Wii version.

Feb 6, 201140A big disappointment from a one-time great. [Christmas 2010, p.73]

Dec 19, 201070Battle Islands offers a decent balance of difficulty with plenty of assistance for those entering the battlefield for the first time.

Jan 3, 201165Nothing new and few different points of view. The Worms return to Wii and PSP to face their island custom with other online players. Again, up to four players can have fun in these traditional and caricatured battles.
-
Jan 18, 201175Sure, with its simplistic graphics, it's definitely a budget game, but it's one that actually deserves a place outside the bargain bin. Those worms want to be on top, after all.
-
Feb 10, 201160Worms: Battle Islands is fun, but it's not long before it's relegated to the odd party game and the occasional commute.
-
Jan 10, 201170Worms: Battle Islands brings the classic Worms experience to the Nintendo platform and introduces a range of features that while not initially useful do enhance the playing experience when played with friends. What makes the deal better, is that it is available at a budget price.

Jan 24, 201160Worms is slowly getting stale and Battle Island is doing nothing to prevent that.
