Ttwisted Metal is best described with one word: great! We've all seen the demolition derby games where you smash up other cars. They all pale in comparison to this one. Why? Twisted Metal is. well...sick. Where else can you pit a Hummer against a motorcycle?
May 23, 2019 There are a lot of great games out right now. But none of them are Twisted Metal and that’s a problem. Twisted Metal was the king of vehicular combat and there has never been another game.
This game allows you to choose from 10 different vehicles ranging from the Ice Cream Truck to a Lamborghini. Each one has its own special weapon that can do lots of damage. Aside from that, there are other types of death-dealing devices, like spikes and missiles. Your selection will also come equipped with machine guns.
The first couple of levels are only so-so. You start in a measly arena then enter a city district. The fun starts when you start competing in the suburbs. Innocent victims await your treads around every turn. There is a Christmas motif that lends a bit of perversity to the slaughter. The last level takes place on the rooftops of skyscrapers. One false move, and you fall to your death. It's that simple.
The game play of Twisted Metal is good. The controls are responsive. Switching from weapon to weapon is no problem. Each vehicle has its own strategy. With the giant monster truck, your best bet is to get in close and run over the opposition. This differs greatly from the ghost car Specter. With him, you should keep your distance and fire from behind cover.
The audio of Twisted Metal is terrific. It mixes a little spaghetti Western with Christmas tunes. Some thrash-heavy tunes round out the soundtrack as well. Another great aspect is that when the other cars are killing each other off (yes, they can do that...), you can hear all of the explosions and weapon noises.
