Pros
Pro Fun core concept centered around movement
Bounden makes for quite a strange title wherein the players both hold the device in order to try and make a ball follow particular movements on the device. This creates a situation where the players are basically dancing while playing. A bit like a 2 player Twister game with constant movement.
Pro Smart design that uses choreography of ballet
The design of the game was made to mimic the choreography of Dutch ballet. This makes for quite an original concept for a game as well as shows how well thought out the design is.
Pro Great classical music that's specifically composed for Bounden
The high quality music was composed explicitly for this game.
Pro Has a total of 7 dances
There are six dances plus one only released on Android.
Pro You can easily practice in the games the campaign mode in order to avoid losses in multiplayer
The campaign mode is a single player section of the game where users can brush up on their tactics as well as learn how to play with an increasing difficulty. This way players can brush up on their strategies and aim without worry of losing to online players.
Pro Easily play online or locally with friends with the versatile multiplayer mode
Worms 3 has online asynchronous multiplayer as well as local hot seat multiplayer. Making for a great game to play at ones convenience with the online mode as well as something fun to pass around with friends locally.
Pro Great artillery style gameplay with many strategic elements added on top in order to give a more deep experience
At its core, Worms 3 is still the same fun gameplay found in all the previous incarnations of the Worms franchise. However, Worms 3 has added two new gameplay elements that increase the amount of strategy in the game, squads and cards. Squads gives individual worms different advantages/disadvantages such as speed or increased damage and you can choose from the various worms to form your team. Cards give you boosts that you can play during your turn such as extra health or weapons.
The upgrades are also not tied to in-app-purchases. You cannot buy yourself the best upgrades and thus the game does not punish you for not buying upgrades.
Pro No game is ever a lock with the included card system mechanic
The new Worms 3 addition of a card system allows players to choose a card after their turn that will directly affect the next players turn. Making for a great mechanic that can turn the tides of a game at any point.
The cards are available for purchase through in game coins that are earned during gameplay, which is a bit of a relief that they are not available through in app purchases.
Cons
Con Increased risk of dropping the phone
With the amount of movement needed while two people hold the device, there is an increased chance of someone dropping it. This could damage the device, if dropped.
Con Can not be played without another player
There is no single player mode as the whole design of the game is centered around two players using a singular device.
Con Paid upfront game that also contains in-app-purchases
For what is an already paid upfront game at $4.99 it also includes in-app-purchases that range from $0.99 - $6.49 per item. Luckily though the purchases are only for cosmetics, which means there is no pay-to-win mechanics here.
