It's fun and silly, works pretty fast and looks great. The Story mode is a great place to start for people new to the Worms franchise because it does an acceptable job of introducing certain concepts and testing your abilities on movement and weapons. Worms Ultimate Mayhem isn't the best Worms game to date but brings that great sense of humor and over the top weapons that we've grown so fond of. In my view, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem still is a very solid, versatile and charming game that offers more content than nearly any other title in its price range (€12-13), but it is just saddening to see that what could have been a near-perfect, imperative downloadable title is held back by a few glaring but preventable flaws. Code was provided by Team17. Emphasis on simply.
Boxing two games in one is not enough.

Of course, Worms was always most famous for entertaining multiplayer, where up to four players can take their teams head-to-head (notably in more than just deathmatch) - or play defensive games like Homelands or Statue Defend, which gives players forts and defensive objectives. Including all of the content from the original games, Worms Ultimate Mayhem also brings a whole host of anarchic additions � more single player missions, more puzzles, more customisation, more worms! Some odd control choices were also passed on from Mayhem, like the inability to simply hit a button once to use the first-person view - instead, players have to hold that button down to keep the view going while aiming their weapon of choice, which gets a little annoying. The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans.
lots of kickass weapons and you can create your own. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Taking command of a team of worm soldiers, armed to their non-existent teeth with crazy weapons, your goal is simply to obliterate the opposing team.

Worms , plainly … People get bored, but it would have been fine to stop producing remakes and hang their heads on PC old-school greatness. To keep things going, Team17 uses Wormpot, a slot machine which can optionally change three aspects of gameplay, whether it be Super Explosions, Wind Affects Worms, or Respawning Mines, among others. But the feel of the first Worms games just isn’t there. Between the limitless multiplayer, bulging single-player content and extensive list of trophies, you'll be busy for a very long time. Both campaigns from Worms 3D and Worms: Mayhem are available to play (and now feature voice-acted cutscene introductions, a la Worms 2) and, difficulty-wise, follow the same formula as every Worms game: it starts off ridiculously easy and, by the end of the game, players will pit half-dead worms against a team of supercomputers who can successfully shoot a bazooka all the way across a map. Most of the time, the AI is incompetent, missing easy shots and even doing damage to itself.
Getting tired of shooting rockets back and forth?
While Team 17 tried to make a nice 3D worms experience, it came out as a flawed gem. The game controls pretty well on the Xbox 360 gamepad with the exception of most of the menus, which were obviously designed with the PC in mind.

Review: Worms Ultimate Mayhem 30 The Worms series has worked well as a downloadable franchise, finding a good home on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Even if it’s a tasty Ball Park Frank, they need just that little edge to get it all down.
There are a few new weapons and maps offered in the bundle package - like an Alien Abduction or Old Scouser.
While there's nothing too special about either campaign (Mayhem is filled with annoying fetch-quests and 3D is all about simple combat), there's certainly enough content in them to keep players busy should they decide to give them a spin - combining for a total of over 70 individual missions. OMG This is terrible, I only got it because it was about a pound extra on Steam when buying Worms Reloaded (which is excellent by the way :) Wish I hadn't. on October 10, 2011 at 6:32PM PDT.

This package feels like it's been thrown together to make a quick buck, and despite having so much content, it's ultimately lazy work.

Great game, bought it on the steam holiday sale for about 3 euro and i expected no less from 3D worms, it's alot of fun to do the challenges, customizing your own worms and weapons and play the storyline! That’s a bit of the situation when playing Worms: Ultimate Mayhem. It wasn't uncommon to kill a few worms with one shot in the 2D variants, but this is something you simply don't see much in Ultimate Mayhem. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. There are some issues with the camera and the game progress can be slow at times. While it's nice to see a few new things, they aren't as zany or wacky as one would like - in short, the added weapons don't offer the initial surprise that the sheep or concrete donkey did back in the day. All-in-all, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem oddly doesn't live up to its name, giving a relatively tame experience whether - you're new to the series or not.
