Pros
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.
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
Pro Beautiful visual style
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro A twisted tale
As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
Pro Excellent physics engine
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.

Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
