Lemmings went 3d. It's not the best way to play this classic game due to the clunky controls and camera, but it's still fun once you get past that. The controls just give lemmings 3d an extra difficulty.

There was this weird trend for a while that perfectly good 2d games were redesigned for 3d, as if that automatically made it better. Worms did the same. And like most other games that did the same, the franchise died shortly after.

The only games I can think of that successfully pulled off this transition was Duke Nukem and GTA.
