The Bottom Line

After the tactical RTS play of Worms Forts Under Siege, Worms 4: Mayhem is a return to the series' trademark gameplay and sees Team 17's core Worms design and development team regrouping for a 3D game of explosive annelid annihilation. With players controlling the worms in single player or 4-player team games, everyone's armed with a massive variety of wild weapons, as ingenious as they are incendiary.

The worms' armoury of brilliantly conceived classic weapons return and is built on with even more devilish devices, including the Poison Arrow, Sentry Gun, Tail Nail and the Bovine Blitz, which unleashes a bombing raid of cows. Customize your worm's character in an all new Worms creator feature and unleash annelid annihilation across 25 single-player missions and 20 multiplayer maps.

The clever things these worms can do is impressive - parachuting, calling in airstrikes, blowing up explosive objects for an even bigger bang is all overshadowed by a really ugly aiming system. It's a crying shame.
