4.0 out of 5 stars Highly addictive, December 30, 2007

I've been playing the Ps1 twisted metal games for years. At first this game seemed a little hard for me, but later I tried it again and I became a slave to it!

The graphics are nothing short of mindblowing. With every missle shot the explosion leaves an amazing sparkle. I guess the reasons the graphics seem so good is because I've gotten really used to the previous versions. There are up to fift-teen characters you can have after you unlock all of them, and ten different levels for multiplayer mode. On endurance mode I played as Minion and murdered about 430 cars before I died! The music is pretty decent because the last Twisted Metal games were beside metal music and I'm not too big of a fan for metal. After matches end, the next one is started usually without waiting any time to load.

The down sides to this game is you can't play two player death matches with enemies. Also there are different playable levels for one player mode than for multiplayer mode. Unlocking other new cars involve procedures on the Internet which are long and complicated, especially for that Axel character.

From wikipedia, here's the list of characters:
Default characters:

Junkyard Dog, a stereotypical redneck farmer driving a tow truck.
Brimstone, a delusional evangelist rejected by the church, on a white El Camino.
Outlaw, a former sniper for the local SWAT team, driving a S.W.A.T. SUV.
Mr. Grimm, a cannibalistic Vietnam War veteran on an armored motorcycle.
Road Kill, a former member of a small-time gang on a green scrap-car.
Crazy 8, a former and disfigured underground boxer on a modified classic, VW Beetle-like car
Spectre, a lovesick bridesmaid on a blue Corvette.
Darkside, a former assistant for a maskmaker, driving a black semi truck with a police car chained to the grill.
Shadow, a schoolgirl outcast on a lavender hearse.
Sweet Tooth, a mass murderer on an ice cream truck.
Unlockable characters:

Yellow Jacket, a beat-up yellow taxi cab driven by Charlie Kane and his son.
Axel, locked into a wheeled torture device.
Manslaughter, a mysterious contestant on a dump truck.
Warthog, a killer driving a station wagon mounted to a flametank.
Minion, the winner of last year's tournament on a tanker truck.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Blackest of Hate..., March 25, 2008

This review is from: Twisted Metal: Black (Video Game)

It's been nearly seven years since I first played this game and after playing Twisted Metal: Head On-Extra Twisted Edition I just needed to get this game again.

This game is much darker than previous Twisted Metals' in both appearence and presentation. The characters aren't cartoony and tongue in cheek like in Twisted Metal 2 but they're rather macabre and disturbed. Just about all of them comes from a mental asylum that looks like something out of Batman.

The levels are very dark as well. The game returns to the familar city atmosphere used in Twisted Metal 1 but gives it a paint job of blood and black that makes everything look decayed and dying.

Gameplay is tight as hell and is a major relief after the disaster that was Twisted Metal 3 and 4's "true physics" that Sony thought was a great idea but turned out to be a horror show on wheels.

Familar favorites return: Yellow Jacket, Darkside, Outlaw, Mr. Grimm, Shadow, Axel, Warthog, Sweet Tooth, Minion, Spectre and Roadkill; while new comers Manslaughter, Brimstone, Junkyard Dog and Crazy 8 join the Twisted Metal universe.

This game is a masterpiece from beginning to end and should be in EVERY PS2 owners game collection.

Simply put, this is just Twisted Metal: Black, with new online capabilities. The graphics are awesome, and the characters are awesome. The gameplay, too, is awesome. If you want to play online, this is the version you want. If not, get the original.
