Worms 4: Mayhem is the same kind of Worms game as Worms 3D with a few new bits and pieces, including some weapon and game-type customisation and an extended mini-game-based "Challenge mode, but, if you ask us, Worms 3D had already abandoned a lot of what people liked about Worms in the first place. We reckon the answer's quite simple: everyone keeps claiming that this is just Worms in 3D. We’re very proud of the original games, and hope that in delivering this definitive version, fans of the original titles and players new to them will take the time to check out “ Worms Ultimate Mayhem.It would be easy to glance at the score below (actually, we should probably add rings of fire and puzzles involving the placement of runes and crests to stop people doing that) and assume that Worms is simply getting old. “As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also taken the opportunity to add high-definition sparkle to the visuals and make a raft of improvements and extra content as suggested by fans of the original titles: from vastly improved camera functionality and voice-acted mission intro sequences, to all-new challenges and multiplayer maps. In squeezing the entire content of both “ Worms 3D” and “ Worms 4: Mayhem” into one collector’s edition digital package, we’ve delivered a “best of the 3D Worms games” experience, complete with 60 single-player missions, 12 graphical themes, 38 weapons, full online play for up to four players and literally more ways to customise your worm and game experience than we can count.” “It’s been an absolute pleasure getting the chance to revisit two titles that we remember so fondly. Team 17 Head of Design John Dennis voices his delight at bringing the 3D turn-based mayhem into the current generation: 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!
Worms Ultimate Mayhem is a souped-up, re-vamped, high definition reimagining of Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem, bringing both games together in one incredibly over-stuffed, over-the-top package for Xbox 360 from Xbox LIVE, for PlayStation3 from PlayStationNetwork, and also for PC from Steam. Here’s what Team 17 had to say about their upcoming title:
Going 3D means a lot of things, it means spatial awareness, it means depth perception, but it doesn’t make the game any less of an artillery shooter or any less ridiculous. Worms and Worms 2 Armageddon have both been well received on XBLA, so naturally Team 17 had to bring their only true departure from the traditional Worms formula to the XBLA, and it hardly even changes core gameplay.
