"Time to do wriggly battle again. As those Worms go on-line to host a World Party. Get your mates round..."
 
"There's no disputing that Worms is great. It's strategic, quirky, comical and gives you a great feeling of whoop-ass when you beat a mate."
 
Graphics
"2D but more than adequate. In fact anything else just wouldn't work the same."
 
Gameplay
"Addictive and great fun both for killing mates and hearing the sarcasm as you die."
 
Lifespan
"Apart from the missions, deathmatch are enough to entertain for aeons."

"Four-player worming is almost as much fun as a night in with Britney Spears and a bottle of baby oil!"
 
"The series has long been renowned for it's top multi-player antics and now Worms World Party sticks a bloody great cherry on its multi-player wormcake."
 
"Fourplayer worming fun is still as enjoyable offline as it always has been, but the real bonus with World Party is it's full on-line gaming."
 
"Worms World Party is the kind of game you can shove into your DC for a quick bash with your mates after the pub before you know it, the suns coming up. That's the real beauty of it."
 
"Unlike most games it's an extremely social experience and you can loose yourself in its simple, addictive gameplay for hours at a time."

"WWP is also set to take over from the flawed Chu-Chu Rocket as the No1 online DC Puzzle game."
 
"This one will turn even the most mild-mannered gamer into a full-on nutter once they're, ahem hooked!"
 
"Thanks to the plethora of gaming options, it's one of the few multi-player-focused games that is as much fun in single-player as with other opponents."
 
How does it compare?
 
Worms World Party
"If you haven't got an invitation to this party, you'd better go out and buy one."
 
Lemmings Revolution
"Despite being a finely tuned puzzle affair, LR is beaten by the latest Worms offering."
 
Sheep
"Injected imagination into the puzzle genre, but Sheep ultimately lets itself down."

"For the second time, Worms are infesting the Dreamcast, AND this time, they're going on-line too. Little B@$*@*d$."
 
"No advances in the formula, but the online game is a treat. Whilst they're going to need something new next time, this will very do nicely for now."
 
"This is as comprehensive a training section we've seen in a game in ages, and if you canstick it out to the end, you're a mighty fine worm, if you don't mind us saying."
 
"Worms is great, Worms on-line is fanbloodytastic."
 
"Worms at its best - a real treat!"
 
"It's the online arena where Team17 has really done it's work."
 
"The online version of Worms is a complete treat, pure and simple."
 
DC Magazine
January 2001
"Team17 has done everything it can to improve the concept without ruining the heart of the game."
 
"Some games franchises refuse to die and thankfully Worms is one of them... Over the years a good session on Worms has eaten up many an otherwise dull hour."
 
"Not that I wish to repeat the words of my esteemed colleague but you really ought to invite yourself to the party."
 
"Worms World Party the ultimate version available for the Dreamcast."

"If you are even slightly into online games at their best, you'll want to get hold of this game right now."
 
"If you ever wanted to get into online gaming, there is no better place to start."
 
"The game is as addictive as ever, endlessly funny and one of the simplest yet endlessly varied games ever."
 
"The cutesy factor of Worms, however, is endlessly endearing entirely due to the fact that under the colourful and simplistic graphics and bright candy-hued landscapes lurks a game that is, in it's own way, as violent as Quake Arena and twice as funny."
 
"An online masterpiece."
