This is the best car destruction game ever and it is on a portable. I have beaten the ratherown special wepon short career mode with nearly every character. Each character has its own specials. The point of this game is to gather wepons in the arena and shoot at the other cars. The last car standing wins. The grahics are amazing, maybe the best out of any Twisted Metal game. This game, as many others have said, is mostly everything good from the first Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal: Black.

This game is a very fun game for Twisted Metal fans and people just getting into the series. This game has awesome graphics just like the PS2 (but a lot more fun than Twisted Metal: Black).

There are three different single player game modes. Story mode is where you pick a car and use it for 11 different levels to destroy the other people's cars. Challenge mode is where you make all the rules and choose the opponents. Endurance mode is where you see how long you last. There is also a multiplayer mode for this game.

The characters from all the old games are back like: Sweet Tooth, Axel, Warthog, Outlaw, and many more. Each have their own characteristics (speed, armor, special weapon, and handling). There's bound to be a character for everyone.

This game is a fun game and an easy game to learn so I recommend it for people just getting the PSP also. Some people may not like the game so I recommend renting it first (gamefly.com *Please Refer Me).

This game is amazing! The graphics here blow any Nintendo handheld system out of the water. This actually looks BETTER than the console versions of Twisted Metal. Don't let the small screen size fool you, you can really tell what's going on here. It's smooth frame rates all the way, with no skipping that I could see. The cars respond well, and the sound rocks (as long as you're using the headphones...the little built-in speaker stretches it a little thin). Great fun!

Having been a long time fan of the Twisted Metal series, I have enjoyed the 1st 2 games the most out of all the others. With Twisted Metal: Head on, the game seems similar to both Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal Black in some ways. The controls work well on the PSP and the graphics and sounds are great too. Throughout some of the levels, there are minigames in which you can unlock hidden characters and new multiplayer levels. The story mode is the main part of the single player game and it is fun to see the ending movies of all of the characters. I haven't spent too much time playing online, but the time I did play was a blast. Overall, if you are looking for a new game for your PSP and want a blend of racing and shooting then this is the game for you.

this is an Excellent game with 12 vehicles and several unlockable vehicles and about 21 unlockable environments and even better a ton of minigames that range from a complete blast to play to a tad frustrating (think platforming with a CAR on the TOKYO ROOFTOPS area (think back to TM:2) and voila! nasty but still fun.
add to this formula, destructable environments and that lil item made my day (I used to hate running into a tree with MINION and it STOPPING ME. lol) not anymore however the trees give way and damage your car fairly realisticly.
sadly NO MINION but that is good in a way because the vehicles in this one are so well balanced that no one has ANY big advantage over all of the others like big baddies like minion did.
NOW for the multiplayer modes, WOW!!! very fun and a blast with up to 6 friends via wireless ad-hoc or Infrastructure mode (after a quick and free signup)
you control whether or not the environments are destructable or not in multiplayer and you also choose time limit or none, choose new vehicle after death or not, and finally artifacts!
new nifty power ups that do many things like increase turbo recarge rate and energy also double damage machine guns for a few examples. The envornmental weapons are all back like the lightning from the greek statues and radio tower. and a bunch more.
this games bosses are really well done too with crazy eddy being the first and a real blast to attempt to kill (the RV's are loony) and all the way up to tower tooth and the rest.

Fun: this game is a MUST OWN! 5 stars!

Graphics: better then TM: Black and any of the ps1 ver. so 5 star!

Sound: what you would expect but some surprises 4 stars

Overall: 5 Stars! this game is fun alone and a mega blast with friends or on the web and if you like these games like I do and especally this one you might want the ps2 version called TM: head on the extra twisted edition. 16 classic vehicles return plus all 12 new ones and 4 unknown unlockables. *see my review*

INTRO:Twisted metal is a longtime franchise who made its debut on ps1 the franchise is known for being very destructive and its debut on psp portable system represents exactly that.It goes back to twisted metal 2 wich is the best of the serie.Psp has taken many famous franchise to make ripp-off of them but this game is an exeption.

The game is great the graphics are awsome and i love this game The characters are various as you can choose characters as the clown and even the grim reaper.They all have different vehicles from the classic ice cream truck to the atv,harley and even a tank and all have special attacks but wich are hard to perform.The game is a fast action and cool destructive game.

The enviroments are looking great with stages for Egypt,Paris,Tokyo,Russia,a Baseball field and more about everything you see is destructible ading more fun to the game.You gotta catch weapons such as grenades to hit your oponents.

The story mode is cool but it doesnt really have any storyline and the ending Boss is tough to beat as many say and that mode aint real long.Its mostly giving the action to players whitout boring them with a storyline it goes straight to the action.Other modes includes chalenge mode which just allow you to play levels and endurence in wich you have to beat as many opponents as possible.

Overral:Some bad points like the hard boss at the end and the controls for specials are hard to memorize but its mostly a great game and it didnt ruin twisted metal it made it better and its portable start is awsome hopefully another will come for Psp!I recomend it to twisted metal fans and those who arent and if you like destructive games you will have a good time!

This game is really fun, there are more charecters than ive ever seen and some of them are new. This is the second best game in the whole twsited metal series(only behind twisted metal 4)This game is extremely fun because when you beat certain levels you can get new cars, or if you beat a mini level you can unlock some too. The game really never gets old because the levels are huge so you can just explore the levels and find cool passagways. You can get into buildings by destroying the doors or in Russia you can destroy the control panel to a tank and it will shoot a missil that will destroy a building and unlock cool hiding spots. Once you beat the game you will unlock dark tooth who has maxed out stats.

Here are some codes if you want to use because you are having trouble:

Invincibility: Press Right Left Down Up and then hold R+L together.
Infinite Weapons: Press Triangle Triangle Down Down and then hold R+L together.


Hope this helped.

This game is actually a sequel to Twisted Metal 2. Which in my opinion was the best Twisted Metal. All the original characters are back and the weapon damage is back which was missing in Twisted Metal Black. The cinema stories are as twisted as ever, some are good others, eh.

I particually liked the improvements. You actually unlock the endings of the characters and can view them any time. The music on the first stage was awesome and the little hidden areas in a few other stages were very nice. The upgrades were and excellent idea and are handled quite nicely.

All the characters are treated with respect to preserve there original feel. There are several hidden areas to unlock in the stages like TM2 had.

The boss enemies are back as well but, there are two new ones. The two new bosses are Cousin Eddie, and Tower Tooth. The only character that I really missed was Minion. He was absent for some reason.

All the cinemas assume that most people got their wish in TM2. I don't want to spoil it so I can't give details.

The hardness select is nice but A suggestion "Don't try Tower Tooth on Hard". That's suicide.

I highly recommend any fan of car combat to buy this game. The only flaw with the game is that is isn't available on Playstation 2. I would really like to play four players against friends.

A true sequel to TM2.

i bought twisted metal whn i got the psp and it was mind blowing. the graphics on the psp were simply amazing. i love the online play cause its just so much fun blowing up your opponents. the car selections are good and somewhat detailed. definately buy this game for your psp.

If you are a fan of the Twisted Metal series, you will love Head-On. It is basically TM: Black, but less violent and dark. There are plenty of levels, from L.A. to Greece, and the environments are totally destructible. The controls are great, with a classic TM feel, though I'm still not sold on the analog "nub" idea. There are so many vehicles and characters, each with their own twisted ending, that give the game a lot of replay value, it's amazing. The graphics are top-notch, PS2 quality. Basically, if you're a fan of the series, buy this game. If you bought a PSP and want, in my opinion, the best launch title, buy this game. If you didn't like previous installments, Head-On won't change your mind.
