Worms Ultimate Mayhemoffers 60 missions, 38 weapons and 12 graphic themes, as well as full online play for up to four players. While the missions are mostly centered around the same concept, the wide range of weapons keep things interesting, and keep you wanting to try new combinations to collect kills.
Each theme is brilliantly designed - no two are like it - and are gorgeous in terms of lighting and backdrop. Unfortunately, however, frame rate issues plague the impressive designs, and can really frustrate you in the heat of battle.
Additionally, for an XBLA title, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem has some of the longest loading times I've personally seen. These issues don't seem important, in terms of gameplay, but they do slow down the experience and sometimes make you bored.
Worms: Ultimate Mayhem really shines is in its customization. You now have the ability to create your own team of worms - making them as silly or series as you would like. Experience points also help you
Unlock new items for your worms, really add to the replayability of the game. Creating a team of worms that feature rainbows, glasses, and carry individual names like "Worm Man III" is definitely something that will make you laugh. Surprisingly, the worms' carry cute, witty dialogue that helps push you through the sometimes long gaming sessions.
