Page "Worms (series)" Paragraph 77

While the first versions of the game were generally praised, the series has since been criticized for the lack of meaningful additions.

In 2001, Metacritic quoted Worms World Party reviews with comments like " it's virtually nothing more than an expansion pack for Worms Armageddon " and, as ActionTrip's Dejan Grbavcic put it, " And I thought that only Eidos was impertinent enough to keep selling the same game with a slightly different name ...".

In 2007, IGN included the Worms series in its list of game franchises that have jumped the shark.
