Which would you say is the better worms game? Ive heard with forts your only allowed to play for 30minutes, is this correct? is this the same for Mayhem? If so would it be worth me buying 3d instead?

Thanks,

Rob

Forts games take very long, and are very strategic. There is also an online play bug, which people have been moaning about. A lot. Mayhem on the other hand, is a vamped up version of Worms 3D, and is the best of the 3D games. There is a lot of customisation available, such as being able to make your own weapon, or dress your worm up. Overall, I'd definitely say buy Worms 4.

If I remember well, someone made a patch that allowed you to play up to 90 minutes.

But nevertheless, Worms 4 Mayhem is much better. ;)

"No" to both questions.

Forts is a good game, but it hasn't got the replay value of classic Worms.

If you've not got Worms3D, get Mayhem. Otherwise, it's really your call.

It's your call anyway, because obviously I'm not going to tell you what to spend your money on, but you know what I mean.

Well...
1: W4 is the more classic worms; WF is more of an experimental spinoff.
2: There isn't an actual time limit per se: but after 30 minutes, there's a special event each turn that can rather slow down the playing. This is because the event happens between turns. (which increases the time between turns by about 20 seconds)
3: W4 is the better in terms of graphics and bugs. It's also better in customisability.

I'd say Mayhem, look, Forts games take long, longer than 30 min. if possible. Mayhem games don't take as long as Forts games, and mayhem is extremely fun online. :) But of all worms games, Armageddon beats 'em all. But worms Armageddon is really boring on the PS, not very clear...

In which case, he shouldn't bother.

In Mayhem you can create weapons and dress completely your worms, but in Forts you can construct buildings, i have both, and both are cool! :confused:
