I own this Boring Game and the Physics model is horrible

Finally a review from someone that really has the game.

In a word Twisted Metal Black is boring. The game is all shoot, no story. Well, a few short plotless movies are included, but they hardly qualify as story.

And if you're into shooting games, the shooting isn't much. Basically drive (or rather float) around and blow things up.

For a driving game the physics are horrible, all the vehicles drive like hovercars or boats, not cars. And the dumptrucks drive almost exactly the same as the motorcycles.

There's not much unique about this game, I've see all these weapons in other games, nothing new here. All the vehicles move unrealistically fast, I guess to make it more challenging. It's rated M for Mature, though I really couldn't tell you why. It's not gory or scary.

If you're looking for great PS2 games, this doesn't come close to SSX.

My recommendation for a good car game?

Save your money for Gran Turismo 3.

Poor Physics and no Originality

The driving physics of this game are horrible, motorcycles and dump trucks handle, accelerate and brake in almost exactly the same way. The laziness of the developers shows through with them using the same phyiscs model for every vehicle.

All the vehicles drive more like boats or hovercars than cars, drifting and coasting all over the place. If you touch the gas for a second you'll have enough inertia built up to drive a mile or two.

The game play is nothing new, basically just wander around looking for power-ups and shoot like mad. Quake with a hovercar.

Twisted Metal Black is very arcadish, not at all a good driving game and not at all compelling. I found it quite simple to beat and the computer opponents to be very predicitable.

Strongly not recommended.

AWESOME!!

This is the best game out for PS2. You start out by picking your car and then basically driving around shooting at the other cars. It is so much fun. The levels are huge. I explored some of them for 25 minutes and I still dodn't cover the whole thing. Almost everything is interactable. You can drive through houses to see if there are pickups inside or you can shoot down a plane that's flying overhead. If you have a PS2 and you don't have this game then something is wrong with you. GET IT.

The Best Game on the Playstation 2

And the best carmageddon game ever also. Teriffic gameplay, excellent graphics, lots of characters and it looks like it'll have a lot of replay value. I bought this game yesterday, the day of release, and this is by far the best game on the PS2. I've played a decent number of other PS2 games (SSX, Tekken, DOA2, Super Bust-A-Move, Time Splitters to name a few) and this is the first time I've been anxiously awaiting to get home so I could play some more. Not for the weak of heart though. The M rating is deserved.

great game

This game brings back some of the best features from the first two Twisted Metal games on PSone. It's fast, visually stunning, and very playable. The story mode is DARK, as advertised, and i think a good addition to this game over the others.

I have seen this game and must say, it is one that i would put on as a top rental or buyer. The graphics and Cgs are amazing, there are quite a few new charcters but everyones favourite mischevious clow is always there. Sweettooth, who in this game makes Hannibal Lecter look like a guy on sesame street. I must say that this is an improvement from other twisted metal games, i have to say this one tops over all. Rent or buy this game i promise you will not be disapointed,and be playing for hours or days.

OH YEAH!!

After doing extensive research for this game I am getting this game the day of release!

This game has EVERYTHING plus MORE if your looking for an awesome car combat game.

After TM3 I was very disappointed and I kinda got out of playing the game, but after reading many reviews and seeing many pics and vid clips, TMB will not let me or any of you down. The graphics are OUTSTANDING, the game play is EXCELENT, and the sadistic twisted story is SUPERB!

THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR THE PS2 OWNER! ! ! !

Doesnt It Get Old?

Ok, when Twisted Metal Black came out, I thought to myself,"Its worth renting, but definately not buying."

The fact is, even though this game is fun and all, after a while it really does get old. The story is way to short, it only took me 1 night to beat it and as soon as i unlocked all the characters, IT WAS BORING!!

So, to me i guess, it would be a complete waste of 50 bucks

Failed to recapture magic

As a die hard fan of "twisted maetal 1and2" I bought PS2 just for much antisapated TM Black. I was dissapointed. The hype was -"the original team returned to make TM5!" Unfortunatly the "original team" was not able to recapture magic of tm 2. So, lets disect the game.
Cons:
1. Somewhat a reapoff of tm3
2. Story lines (which are the huge part of the game's appeal)feel like they were written in haphazard manner. You need to be 10 years old not to see holes and gaps in logic, which is sad sence game is designed for older players(M rating). The storys are appealing but soooo imperfect, which breaks the mood they trying to establish.
3. AI. I guess what the team was trying to do is to make more "human" behaving AI. Unfortunatly they mixed up their priorities. The object was not to make a more human AI; it was to make a game more fun. AI who attacks you like a human opponent (mostly from behind) is no fun! Also AI is flawless in its use of weapons.
4. The game is too fast, which makes many weapons ineffective and only cool in theory (same problem in TM3)Oponnents not driviing by, they FLYING by, even the ones that supposed to be slow and less manuvarable. Every character has lighning fast acceleration which makes weapons that are not selftargeting useless, unless you shooting point blank.
5. Little replyability value comparing to TM 2.
6. Game physics are inferior to tm2. When one car hits another it dosn't feels like viacals crash into each other; instead it feels like they gently push one another on ice. While life meters show damage from raming, you don't see, hear or feel it.
7. Controls are not intuitive. It's hard to perform 180 turns. Feels akward specially when everyone around you kicking your butt. Why did you change controls?
8. Cars flip over. Who needs that?
9. Game FEELS hard while being somewhat fun; while tm2 felt like fun while being hard. Ironicly the game is easy to pass while hard to play; shouldn't it be the other way around?
10. Most of the storys are the same. It's all about revenge! Come on, use some imagination!
11. Most of the special weapons are the same, while being masked to be different. Come on, use some imagination.
Pros:
1. SOUNDTRACK. It saves the game. You can never get tired watching final movie and listening "paint it black" after passing the game. Bull's eye!
2. Murderous characters
3. Good graphics
4. large battle fields
5. Character storylines
6. After playing this game You would wanna paint the whole world black.
If I was unfamiliar with tm series I would probably give this game four stars but as a biggest fan of tm, I expected nothing less than perfect. Still I will keep this game and recomend it.
