It's got fairly good graphics, good speed of game play and a good amount of variety of characthers. I've had the game about 5 months or so (might be less, can't remember when it was bought) and i still play it atleast once every couple of days. The difficulty isn't to bad. It's easy enough for the new players but adjustable to the really experienced players.

TM3 is one of the worst games I have ever played. TM2 is probably the best playstation game around, which was my basis for buying TM3. The characters and the descriptions of the cars are sooo cheesy. Some of the race tracks are pretty cool but they are small. The cars in this version are also incredibly difficult to control. The Rob Zombie- and-friends soundtrack is ok but after playing the game for a while the repetitive songs get annoying. 989 studios ruined this game. I do on the other hand recommend Twisted Metal 1 and 2. They are great.(since they are done by Singletrac)

Twisted metal one was good. Two was awesome but now three isn't very good. Sure there are new people and new levels but it's not any better. If you like the series then get this. If you're not a fan rent it!!

Well, this game sure LOOKED cool at first, glancing at the back of the game, and reading about it. New characters, weapons, stages, where can you go wrong? Plus it was the sequel to Twisted Metal 2 (which is an awesome game). So I thought I was all set.

Let me just that 989 Studios destroyed this game and I was really dissappointed. The worst part about the game was the awful control system. Not only was it horribly slow, but the handling was awful! And it seemed like everytime a "contestant" fell off a building or was hit by another contestant, he/she flipped over and wouldn't retain movement again for 5 seconds.

The soundtrack was ok, but after hearing it time and time again, it got kinda irritating.

Having new characters was a good idea, but they were pretty stupid as well. Not to mention their descriptions, which had to have been the cheesiest thing ever.

The weapons were pretty cool, though. I liked how they added rain missles, speed missles, etc...but once again, the gameplay was so slow + sluggush, it only provided minor and limited entertainment.

Twisted Metal 2 is a really great buy, get that. The gameplay is so much faster (and better) and it is so much more fun. TM2 I give 4.5 stars.

In my opinion, "Twisted Metal 3" is the worst game of the Twisted Metal series. It's the only one of the four that I played for only a few minutes and got tired of. The reason I didn't like it is because the control isn't good at all. You can't turn on a dime like you can in "Twisted Metal 2." And worst of all, just about everytime you even get bumped or fall off a building, you'll end up upside down. That can get frustrating after awhile because you stay upside down for a few seconds and it seems like if you don't drive perfectly, it happens.

The only reason I didn't give "Twisted Metal 3" only one star is because I thought some of the graphics were cool. I would recommend getting any of the other Twisted Metal games before you get this one.

Twisted Metal 3 is slightly faster than 2. There are a few new weapons. Otherwise, 989 Studios did a fine job of knocking the Twisted Metal franchise down a few notches. The level design is quite poor. The worlds in Twisted Metal 2 were clever and downright fun. Those in 3 are simply boring.

At half the price, I highly recommend Twisted Metal 2 instead.

I was a huge fan of the original two twisted metal games, so of course, I rushed out to purchase the third in the series. BIG mistake. Rent it first, if you can, then have a bottle of lysol to get the horrible stench out of your playstation when your done. Try not to vomit too much after you realize that you wasted your money to play this terrible, TERRIBLE excuse for a video game. Stick with Rogue TRip, the _true_ Twisted Metal Three. In any case, I heard TM4 was pretty good, but I don't know. 989 Studios also made that one, and I've lost my faith in them after TM3. Good Luck...

TM3 is nothing like the first two of the Twisted Metal series and it's not nearly as good either. The only improvement from the first 2 TM games are the graphics. The sound is about the same and everything else about it just sucks. The control ruins the rest of the game. Just about everytime you even get nudged by another vehicle or fall off a cliff, you end up upside down and that's what I really didn't like about TM3. When you get turned upside down, it slows you down and it gets frustrating. The control is not good at all when you compare it to TM2. You can't turn on a dime no more. The control is so messed up it ruins just about all of the fun factor and replay value.

The only thing good about TM3 is the improved graphics. The levels are laid out pretty good and there's not as many pixels anymore, but like I said the control ruins the whole game. This is the worst of the Twisted Metal series. Twisted Metal 2 is still the best and Twisted Metal 4 is the second best.

This game is not receiving the credit it deserves. It's a good quality game. I had a blast playing it. Far more than i did with Twisted Metal 1 and 2. The whole series is awesome and, to me, theres not a bad twisted metal game.

NOT terrible, like the other reviews say....

it's solid... just not as good as parts 1 and 2....

but at this point in time, you should be playing the newest version released... look it up!!
