What is Worms3D?

Worms 3D is the latest instalment in the wacky worms series produced by Team17. Previously, the games have all been limited to two dimensions, but now, a third has been added!

Worms 3D, was released in Europe on the 31st of October, 2003, for the following platforms: PC, PS2, XBox and Nintendo GameCube. It was released in the USA and Canada in mid-February, 2004, but the XBox version (which will support XBox Live!) will follow in April. A mac version is planned, but will be coming later on in 2004. The mac version will be published by Feral Interactive

The game has been created by Team17 and Sega-Europe





The aim of the game is to beat your opponent using a team of four worms armed with a variety of wacky weapons over a variety of crazy 3 dimensional landscape. The last team left standing is declared the winner.

A look at some of the weapons in the game

In Worms3D, there are around 60 weapons and utilities.

Some of the are from the older versions of Worms (Worms1, Worms2 and Worms:Armageddon), and some are new.

Below are just some of the weapons in the new Worms3D game


The bazooka:

In from the days of Worms1 - a general all-purpose rocket-launcher that is affected by the wind.


The Baseball Bat:

A great way of relieving frustration - just smack it round an enemy worm's head and watch them fly! A classic since Worms2


The Banana Bomb:

The soft fruit of doom - very dangerous at close range. This weapon is one left from Worms1


The Concrete Donkey:

Now more sacred than ever, this lethal weapon will rid the landscape of any darksiders.


The Holy Hand Grenade:

Another sacred weapon. Need I say any more.


The Grenade:

Nothing like a classic weapon combined with skill to kill an enemy


The Jetpack:

A utility that makes traveling across landscapes very easy


The Old Woman

Nothing like sending a moaning granny to kill a few worms!


Cluster Bomb

A lethal grenade-like object that fires tiny pieces of shrapnel out towards any unsuspecting worms.


And finally, a slight teaser of some of the new weapons:

This fires the poison dart (see below)
Shoots a poison dart at the worm
6 tickets (or shells) fall from the sky and each will cause a random amount of damage from 1 to 49 health points
A sticky bomb - like a grenade, except it sticks to stuff
Makes the ground shake.


Note: Some of these may not be accurate. If you spot any errors, please post in the worms forum
