I wasn't expecting to like this game as much as I do. I haven't been able to put it down. The graphics are smooth, brilliant and colorful. Load times are super-quick. Almost NO wait between levels. The lighting effects of the weapons are pretty cool. There's enough variety of characters to keep replaying the game over and over for a different experience. My only reservation in NOT giving the game a FIVE STAR rating is the lack of a deeper story, no FMV...even when the game is completed and it's a tad TOO EASY...even in hard mode. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun as hell to play. I know that up against Twisted Metal Black, this one will be over-looked, but just give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Worth a look

Motor Mayhem is a great car combat game. Do not dismiss this title if you are a fan of the car combat genre. It may not win over the some die hard Twisted Metal: Black fans. But I own Twisted Metal: Black and Motor Mayhem and I am enjoying both. Game modes include Eliminator: You and all other cars get one life. Last one alive wins. Deathmatch: All cars can respawn after a death. First one to get the max number of kills wins. Endurance: No respawn, one on one match. Once you kill the opponent, a new one takes its place. One thing I like about the AI of MM is the computer cars are not only after you. They go after each other and do kill other cars in the match. Graphics and explosions are great. They have a meaty sound and explosions rock the video image to give you the illusion of being right there. Some slow down at times but it is minimal. Control is as if you are driving a car. You can not turn with out moving forward or backward. But you can turn slightly when airborn. Worth a look.

Better in many ways than Twisted Metal

I'm amazed that this game isn't receiving more attention. Graphically, I think it has a lot more impact than Twisted Metal Black...seriously, this is the best looking game I've seen on the PS2 yet. I rented it, but wound up buying - the multiplayer is a blast. Cool characters, MUCH more impressive special attacks than TMB, and a "T" rating - nice because I can play it with my kids without the gore of Twisted.

WOW, I love this game

This game is AWESOME! I purchased this game 07-03-01 and I can't put It down. I love how in your face the action is. I have played other car combat games but none of them have this kind of intense action. The action feels alot like a first person shooter (Quake or Unreal Tournament) I love it. The explosions and animated characters in this game are over the top. You will not be let down with this purchase, I have already become a fan. I don't understand some of the shallow criticism that has been circulating from various reviews. I think that some of the reviews have been one sided and partial to existing car combat games that are already out there. I think that this is unfortunate for Motor Mayhem if people read and believe some of the [stuff]that has been said. Perhaps the people creating the reviews did not even play the game, because what I have seen and played is nothing like the negative that has surfaced. I love this very nice looking over the top kickin' game. (Ray, fellow game junky)

this game is awesome. You have to get this game. The intense car combat is awesome. The graphics are great. There are tons of places to play at. I'm playing it 24/7. I got this game for less then 20 bucks and its an awesome game for a very little price. You can even unlock a new character named buzzsaw. My friend and I love this game. You should get this game right away.

I have rented this game and am enjoying it a lot. This is a Twisted Metal type game with a stupid story line (think Battlebots meets WWF) and a fun multiplayer mode. I can't get Twisted Metal: Black and would buy it immediately if not for my parents reasons for me not to have it. The actual gameplay of this game is quite fun, not as good as Twisted Metal, but close. The arenas are quite mudane and feature little to no interaction, and the weapons are similar to each other. It has no real soundtrack and the graphics are ok (very, very good, but not as good as Twisted Metal:Black). I am considering purchasing this game for the only option of modern car combat games for me are Twisted Metal:Small Brawl (I feel 6 again just looking at it, not in a good way though) and this. I only am dissapointed the game is two player and the storyline ...(is not very good). If you can't get Twisted Metal:Black for whatever reason or don't want to play Twisted Metal:Small Brawl and feel like a baby or just want the medium in the genre (I suggest this because Twisted Metal 1-2 are harder to find now and feature outdated graphics) I am all for this game

This is the best!

This game makes other games look horrible by comparison. Even though the story line is... well there isn't any (Ok, actually there is, your a mutant cast out from society and you find refuge in this amazingly dangerous competition), but who cares about the story line? The gameplay on this is awesome! You can choose a motor cycle, limo, steam roller, and other vehicals to blow competition away! I don't care what the reviewers say, everything in this game is completely destructable, from the arena's scoreboard (talk about scary, imagine the scoreboard of your local sports arena times ten, falling down to break the arena floor while the whole stadium is hovering hundreds of feet in the air) to the ruins' pillars supporting the roof. Along with the destructable arena, there are also destructable cars! Once you get a cars hp down a little, chunks of the vehical start falling off everytime you get hit. There are a range of powerups, from homing missles to chain guns to pulse lasers to this wierd type of gun that fires a wall of bullets at the enemy. Also, each character has their own special attacks, like a light saber kind of thing that shoots out red balls of anti-matter energy and a lizard guys tail that shoots acid out of the tip. There are three modes: Death Match-get a certain number of kills, Elimination-be the last one standing, and Endurance-One on one fights in a succesion so you dont get any breaks. At the end of each tornament, you must face the legendary Buzzsaw. Defeat him, and get the tornament title. The elimination has a small plot going through it in the form of newspaper headlines. Trust me, rent it, then buy it.

Need for speed!

I bought this game because the price was right. I almost enjoy it as much if not more than twisted metal black.
