As a owner of Twisted Metal 1 and 2, this was a big disapointment. I thought they would have learned their mistakes from the last one. Ever since 989 studios took over this game on the third one, this game has lacked the fun and excitement that Singletrack brought to the first two. This game is very boring at times because they made the levels so big that you go minutes without finding an enemy.
1# Game for Playsation

This game rules! It has awesome characters/cars and you can even create your own car! Plus there is over 20 vehicles to chooose from! Thats more than any other TM game EVEN TM:Black.
Characters are really cool like Captain Grimm, Trashman, Thumper, and Sweetoothe. There is even the Twisted Metal Bully Minion!
There is major interaction with the levels in this game too. In the construction level, you can even get inside and crane AND USE IT!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!
I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Game!

I am surprised that people who have played all the TMs from 1-3 still find enough interesting to play this game.
I realized finally after playing TM4 and TM-Black (on PSX2) recently why Carmageddon was so much better. Basically the excitement from these games come from being able to drive way too fast and barely undercontrol while inflicting cool damage at the same time. In fact in Carmageddon you can drive so fast that you literally launch airborne- which really gives you that rollercoaster-like oh sh....t feeling. Furthermore Carmageddon gives you a through-the-cockit view so it really feels like you are in a car that's just launched off a building and is about to ram into the side of another.
You cannot do that with a game like TM4 because it takes too much precision to hit a target with a missile. To get precision you have to slow down.
In Carmageddon there are no weapons except your car itself. Amazing, the game is fun even without all the superduper missile firing weapons! In Carmageddon you inflict damage solely by collision. The faster you go the harder you hit your opponent, so automatically the game forces you drive fast and fast is what generates that adrenaline rush. Read the reviews for Road Rash Jailbreak and you'll see what I mean. The reviewers reported the lack of "the high speed rush."
The most disappointing and fatal thing about TM4 is the physics. Carmageddon had wonderful car deformations and physics. Ie very close to the way you expect cars to fly through the air- like in the movies. In TM4 you can drive to the edge of a vertical cliff and then your car crawls down the side! What is with that?!?! Then if you apply gas backwards you can crawl back up the cliff! I can't believe the implementers of this game didn't simply turn on friction when the vehicle is traversing a surface whose angle is too steep.
Looks like Carmageddon 2 is on sale cheap on ( ), so snag it before its gone. I wish Carmageddon 1 were still available for PSX.
The worst playstation game ever?

I bought this game with the hope that it would measure up to the usual Twisted Metal standard. Sadly, it doesn't come close. The gameplay makes you want to throw it out the window. Don't Buy This Game!
This game ROCKS!

This game is the favorite of my colection! Don't listen to those
horibile revews. Because when you buy it you won't be sorry!
It has awsome graphics and great game-play! If you win the game
you can be all the bosses (9).One of my favorite things are the
ending movies.But,I bet TM-BLACK might be better.But all I have is good things to say about TM4. I have no idea where the bad revews come from. Well I'm talking too much so CJRwebsurfer
signing off!
P.S. create a car rocks!!!

TM 1 and 2 were great especially 2 when it came to two players. In TM 3 and 4 the controls are awkward and the plot old. If you have played other versions of TM dont bother with this, but if you have never played a TM game then get 2.
Not Twisted Metal at all!

This game is really horrible. It does not have the fun gameplay as the first two. The lighting is bad so you can't really see anything at all. When you get up near a corner or wall this horrible camera angle comes up and you can't see anything happening around you. Also when about 3 or more cars are really close together all you can see is a lot of explosions and about nothing else. 989 Studios should not make anymore of the Twisted Metal Series. I'm glad Twisted Metal: Black is made by the origanal makers. Don't buy this or TM3. BY TM1 or 2. I haven't played TMBlack yet but it is probably better than this.
Another not so good sequel

Granted, this game is fun to play, but in my opinion, the Twisted Metal versions 1 and 2 were far better. Yes, there are some new vehicles, tracks, and other new features, but it just does not play as well as TM2. I bought this game hoping it would be better than TM3, which was utterly worthless. While it is better than TM3, it is no where close to TM1 & 2.
