Worms World Party (Dreamcast)

Never played a Worms game before?

World Party's unique contribution to the series is its addition of online play, reinforcing the game's already strong multiplayer mode.

Critic Reviews

90 Planet Dreamcast
A masterpiece of online gaming.
88 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
An old concept it may be, but what does that matter when you're having so much bloody fun?
85 GamerWeb Sega
WWP will keep you playing for a very long time. With over 55 weapons, 40 single player missions, and a plethora of online and multiplayer deathmatch options available, WWP is a game worth investing in (especially with its incredibly low price tag).
84 GameSpot
One of the most captivating aspects of Worms is the diverse array of options available for each game, effectively making it possible that no two games of Worms are alike.
83 Game Revolution
An unparalleled multi-player experience for the Dreamcast, full of style, humor and balls-out, dead-on physics, and is simply one of the all-time must-have Dreamcast titles in terms of replayability, laughs, subtlety and sheer nastiness.
82 IGN
What we've got here is the same great Worms gameplay with a few fixes and additions that aren't exactly reliable, especially when it comes to online play.
80 Hot Games
An excellent buy for newbies looking for humor and gameplay depth. While it doesn’t alter the franchise’s formula, it’s still as fun and frustrating as its predecessors.
70 GamePro
World Party’s simple goals and humor are universal, and can easily be enjoyed worldwide—but the game’s dragging pace and frustrating gameplay will have you swearing at the screen no matter what language you speak.
60 DC Swirl
One of the few Titus-published franchises on DC (or any system) that's actually worth playing on gameplay attributes alone.
60 GameShark
If you've been a fan of the series, you'll be right at home in the upgrade, but for those who are just starting out, there may not [be] enough here to interest you.
