Twisted Metal is an over-the-top, vehicular combat game exclusively for play on PlayStation 3. Gameplay revolves around demolition derby style action set across multiple maps in which last contestant alive receives virtually whatever they desire. The game contains both an engrossing single player campaign story mode, as well as multiplayer modes which support co-op and 4-player action locally, as well as 16-player support online. Additional features include: returning characters from earlier releases in the game franchise, 17 vehicles that can be customized with a wide variety of weapons, destructible game environments and more.
Features:
Car Combat Multiplayer - Fast, ferocious and fun competitive multiplayer that delivers the freedom to destroy, fly and demolish the world around you in an intense back and forth battle royale.
Calypso's Tournament - Solo or with a friend in co-op, unfold the rich and demented tale of a cast of characters, led by Sweet Tooth, who will stop at nothing to have one Twisted wish fulfilled.
Twisted Arsenal - Choose from 17 vehicles, each outfitted with an arsenal of weapons that includes blood missiles, rat rockets and shockwave attacks.
Extreme Scale and Destruction - Unleash massive amounts of destruction on the world like an exploding Ferris wheel, decapitated Statue of Liberty, and destroyed rollercoaster.
Customization - Enter Sweet Tooth's custom shop to create your own weapon of mass destruction to play online with. Thousands of custom options available Fall 2011 on Twisted Metal.com.
With an incredibly steep learning curve for the controls, a story that focuses on only two characters versus the entire roster, and visuals that leave much to be desired, Twisted Metal's violent return to consoles is sadly a disappointing one. Still, the game has its moments, and old school vehicle combat vets will get their kicks, especially online.
The verdict: Queue it if you remember the days of Vigilante 8 and Twisted Metal 2
Twisted Metal brings back the action-packed gameplay that we all enjoyed on both the PS1 and PS2. While the single-player story mode is rather short, the online competitive mode is both rewarding and exciting. The large-scale and beautifully designed maps make for strategic encounters against your opponents from all angles and the variety of vehicles and weapons also offer countless hours of replayability.
This is a ultra violent, fast, annoying, hard racing game. Music is cool, visual is good. The game is very hard to complete and you need a lot of luck. The game is well done but not my type.
I am so mad that I pre-ordered this and had to wait on delay after delay for the release, only to get it home and be disappointed. This game flat sucks. Nothing good to say at all. The controls are rubbish, the story is rubbish, the graphics are rubbish. Very few games, do I never bother completing out sheer disappointment. This is one of those games.
