The inclusion of all the DLC ensures that this collection is so full of missions and mayhem across its delightfully colourful game world that it would take you a few years to complete everything on offer. The final game, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem has so much content that it’s mind-blowing, so it’s good value for money in that respect, but it’s also the game that made us think that the series was in dire need of an injection of innovation. The pick of the bunch however is Worms: Armageddon, which had a dazzling cosmetic overhaul, brilliant missions and great backdrops to the action, along with a host of brand new weapons (the brilliant aqua sheep, for example).

The original Worms, even with the HD remake, shows its age with the visuals and audio, yet it has all the elements that set the foundation for the entire series and there’s no doubting that level design is impressive, battles are tactically thought-provoking and the weapon set entertainingly impressive.

That’s not to say this collection lacks value. If that is the case, then there’s fun to be had out of this collection, though you’d do just as well to download the best of the bunch, Worms: Armageddon, straight from the PSN.

However, there’s still value and lots of fun to be had if you haven’t played the series for a long while or if, God forbid, you’ve never played Worms. After playing these three games for an equal amount of time however, it didn’t take us too long to discover that the doey-eyed nostalgia that we once had for Worms remains just that: a nice memory that really shouldn’t be re-lived, otherwise it inevitably leads to disappointment.
