I have all four in the series
, and while from game 1 to 3 continued to get better and better with better cars and game play, this one sucks!The grafics are a step down from 3, looking rough like through dirty glasses. Also takes forever to load each scene. Where as the last flowed and you could replay the same scene with out reload, where as this one requires the same lengthy reload to replay the same board.
Controls are terible, and little to no edit possible on them. Also just pressing the gas uses turbo without a way to disable or edit to a different button like in 3.
They tried to do something right and allow you to creat new cars, but only 4 weapons to pick from and all four are basically useless. Also has different sizes available, and doesnt seem to do more than just looking different.
Sound is a joke. The songs are constantly either getting stuck or just basically very poor sounding and hard to understand.
There is also a very anoying habit of getting stuck in walls if you hit them the wrong way. You are then traped in them until blown up or the end of the board.
One thing they did do very right though is changing the passwords to able to save.
In my opinion, if you get this as a gift, take it back and get Twisted Metal 3. Way better, and much cheaper. And if you plan to buy it, DONT!
DON'T BUY

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.
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!

989 took over the Twisted Metal series in order to take the Twisted Metal series to new heights, but 989 studios bored us with rubbish storylines, spoiling the current stories. 989 brings out TM4 with some fresh characters, but a lot of them resembling earlier characters, the stories are far-fetched and the endings are short and pathetic fot the hours of boring gameplay. The only good thing about this game is the awesome soundtrack.
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.
Horrible

989 learned a few things from the last Twisted Metal (like not having your car flip over for 5 seconds at the drop of a hat) but not a whole lot was learned. This game just isn't that cool, it seemed a little shallow to me and not very original. It's pretty much the same game as the last, with a few exceptions, like creating your own car; which I didn't find all that thrilling. The control is a lot better in this one than it was in #3 but still feels a little awkward. The weapons are mostly lame and just reused from the last games and the new ones aren't that much fun. A few of the special weapons are useless to and require to much planning to get right, and that's really something you have time to do in a game like this, plus some of the bosses special weapons are plain annoying. And another thing, Rob Zombie, enough of this in video games, the soundtrack just made me mad, but I know that's one thing that will sell this game, I just can't take it. And most of the character endings are stupid and confusing. On the plus side this game is pretty fun to play for a little while, and the graphics are pretty nice, and some of the characters are kind of funny. That isn't enough to want to buy this game though, #2 is still the best.
Same old, but with horrible camera angles.

The Twisted Metal franchise was at it's best as far as innovation in the orignial Twisted Metal. TM2 added larger arena areas, but was considered to be not as good as the original. TM3 was horrid. TM4 is more of the same. I have played this game and found the camera angles to be irritating and the control unpredicable. The ability of your car to accidentally drive up a straight wall is laughable, unless you actually bought the game. For the best car combat game out there, pick up last season's Vigilante 8. There is a reason why most video game reviewers compare all car combat games to it. It was innovative and had good control and a unique system which allowed players to tell which weapons the other players had on board. Don't buy TM4 for your kid. And by all means, don't trust what the people here are saying. We sure aren't experts.
Can't Compare With Original Twisted Metals

This game is really awful compared to the first two games of the Twisted Metal franchise. When 989 took over making the TM series, it really went downhill. While this game is slightly better than TM3 (mainly because of more weapons and better courses), it still suffers from cruddy car choices and cruddy driving.
