This collection packages Worms 2: Armageddon along with its five DLC packs and Worms Revolution and its three DLC packs. That’s indeed a ton of content for such a price – though given the amount of variations we’ve seen on the Worms formula to date, it’ll be interesting to see whether Xbox 360 players indeed take the bait.

Nonetheless, Team 17 has released a new trailer detailing gameplay from The Revolution Collection, which can be viewed above. There are also a few screenshots that have been released showcasing gameplay, that can be checked out below.

Worms: The Revolution Collection is currently available for Xbox 360 in North America and Europe.

Plus, look for Matt Berry to return as narrator Don Keystone to guide you through the puzzle levels in his usual combination of wit and pompousness.

The Funfair Pack will be available for £3.19 / $4.99 on PSN, 400 Microsoft Points on XBox Live, and £3.99/ $.4.99 on Steam for PC. Look out for it tomorrow, and – need we say it? – introduce a little anarchy.

Worms Revolution presents itself with a three-pronged attack: Matt Berry, environmental water and a class system. Berry, known for his lacklustre Chris Morris impression in The IT Crowd and exactly the same bit-part character in The Mighty Boosh, his most definable quality being his voice. On paper, this is a marriage made in heaven and with even barely-adequate writing it should work without a hitch but somehow it just doesn’t. His delivery lacks any comic timing, both heavily stressing largely irrelevant words whilst neglecting those which matter. The writing isn’t exactly bad either, unlikely to win any awards but on such a budget, nobody is at fault other than Berry himself.

Environments have been given a very welcome visual upgrade too; surfaces now possess the cloth-finish of LittleBigPlanet, with similar explosions to boot. The environmental damage, again, is far more believable, also impacting on the plane behind the 2D one in which the Worms inhabit, giving further depth. Much effort has also been put into background action, tailored to one of four themes, bringing each level to life, giving it a little context however unnecessary it may be. They’re not exactly varied in terms of theme, but given that Worms has never been particularly hot for this, it’s a rather welcome addition with equally relevant music to match.

Water now exists beyond the Boggy depths of the death lake, now encased within the level itself. Providing an extra dimension to gameplay, water now acts in a similar fashion to poison, granting a -5 health penalty for each turn spent underwater whilst also limiting worm’s movement. The water physics aren’t half bad either, little water globules engulfing worms with a smack of A Bug’s Life and washing them to a wet death. Aside from water, objects now inhabit the environment as more than destructible shapes, many of which move when struck, some emitting poison, water or a gigantic explosion. These doesn’t impact on gameplay heavily, but help to make Worms Revolution feel a little more modern and current.

Classes now worm their way into Revolution for the first time, each with a distinct silhouette. The Heavy, hilariously bloated in size and movement, soon to turn into a beautiful butterfly, has larger health and understandably packs more of a punch. Scouts are petite and swift, inhabiting the nooks and crannies which other worms can only dream of, at the expense of health. Morbo’s formidable forehead belongs to the Scientistic worm, granted health bonuses and additional turret damage. Also is the solider, your Boggy standard classic worm. Evident is the fact Team 17 have spent much time making each unique, whilst all still possessing an indefinable oblivious charm in their movement and demeanour, inching along with nary a care in the world, soon to be Concrete Donkey’ed into submission.

One trick which seems to have been missed a lack of new weapons, few and far between but with our old favourites returning, except for the ludicrous Armageddon. The key addition is Boggy B, the stalwart hero of all wormkind, with a move not entirely dissimilar to Solid Snake’s final smash in Super Smash Bros Brawl. His ability to throw a grenade anywhere on the map can cause unexpected havoc, at the expense of a King’s ransom, also serving an excellent final insult to your enemy. The Plughole drains water from given area, useful for those living below the water line, harking back to the very charms which endeared us to Worms in the first place. The detail of many of these weapons is a treat for the eye too, be it the shockwave caused by some of the larger explosions, or the lovely particle physics brought on by missile trails and explosion smoke.

The biggest disappointment is the inclusion of ‘Memes’ as a choice of worm voice, previously one of the most humorous portions of worms, although in reality more a hideous indictment of 2012 than worms themselves, it’s just a shame to see such a cancerous growth penetrate a previously untouched bubble of sanctuary. Some buttons are also a little unintuitive, zoom happens in stages rather than being continuous, although this is a minor niggle at the very worst.

A Worms Revolution this isn’t, but what it is is Worms. Add a friend or three and you’re still unlikely to have more fun kicking 6 shades of grey out of each other than on any other game. Perhaps guilty of merely wallowing in the waters of its forefathers but what better to wallow in than a pool of dead worms?

This game was reviewed on the Xbox 360.

Some of these, according to the press release, include “four different classes of Worm and dynamic water and physical objects that are designed to boost the gameplay experience”. Players can already pre-purchase the game and gain several extras including bonus campaign missions and speech-banks. Steam users will receive a free copy of Worms Armageddon, previously unavailable via Steam.

Simon Kay of AT New Media stated, “A release date for any new Worms game is major news and this will cause great excitement across the gaming world. Team 17 are expert at producing new content that refreshes and revitalizes the brand and it is this commitment to quality that has kept Worms at the top for nearly twenty years – from our perspective as a licensing agent it also means that any merchandising lines are able to tap into a massive fan-base that is constantly being added to as new players discover the games.”

Team 17 has announced that Worms Revolution is now available for pre-order for the PS3 on PSN, priced at £10.99.

However, fans who pre-order it will only be spending £9.99, and will get a free copy of Worms Crazy Golf.
