The most saddening thing about this latest installment in the long-running Worms series is that it didn't use its potential to make for a killer game. Don't get the wrong idea, though. 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. Still, being the Worms newb that I am, I'm most inclined to praise Ultimate Mayhem for hav...
Unless you live under a rock like the franchise’s titular heroes, you know about Worms. Team 17’s long-running series starring surprisingly articulate worms shooting, blasting and blowing each other up with firepower that would frighten the world’s mightiest armies has always had a loyal fanbase despite few significant changes to the forumula over the years.

Referring back to my opening question, that lack of new ideas is certainly having a negative impact on the series. 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. That said, it’s immensely fun to come head-to-head with friends in a number of delightfully pretty environments. Worms: Ultimate Mayhem doesn’t overcome the prowess of Worms 2: Armageddon on Xbox Live Arcade, but it sits alongside it nicel...
