Twisted Metal

I love this game as it is a vintage game for me. I played this game a lot 10 years ago back in high school and found it to really fun.

As of today, I still play this about once or twice a year on my PS2. I also own Twisted Metal 2, III, and 4. These are the only ones I have played, and to this date, the original is still the best, although popular opinion would say Twisted Metal 2.
Back when this game first came out, it was a new innovative kind of game. A first(or third)-person shooter using vehicles instead of people (even though the cars had drivers). It is the original game of its type (not Carmageddon) and has been the basis for many other popular and not-so-popular games such as Cel Damage and the Vigilante series. Yet even now it, or at least the franchise, is still the leader in vehicular combat games. This is why I give it 5 stars even now in 2007. In it's day, the graphics were amazing and state of the art. It doesn't lose any stars for graphics because even by today's standards the graphics are not bad. Nothing compared to Motorstorm on PlayStation 3, but still, good. As to the actual game. I have beaten it countless times. It is not too hard for a beginner or child, and yet has enough challenge and replayability to keep veteran players like myself still playing. It is a game where you are selected to compete in a worldwide, illegal tournament hosted by a mysterious figure named Calypso. Little is known about him or the tournament, but you must battle your way through the levels to meet him. If you do win and meet him, you get whatever you want(kind of like a single-wish genie, if you will). This does not spoil any of the plot as it states this in the booklet that comes with the game and the opening animation. The interesting things are the individuals desires, which you can only learn by beating the game(I'm not tellin').

First of all, the graphics suck. The characters suck. Everything sucks in this one. My brother paid ten dollars for this game. I wouldn't of paid a penny. Rent it if you dare. Terrible game.

I've only played Twisted Metals 3 and 4, but not the first two games in the series...Twisted Metal 4 has cheats to unlock the bosses like Sweet Tooth, Minion, etc.

Ok, the graphics suck, but the game itself is awesome. There's even cheat codes in it to help and it is very fun to play in Multi-player. Running over the pedestrians are fun and crashing into buildings and cars. And i have it in its original packaging
in thos big original PS1 cases.
