i'm aware that the game wasn't designed for the PS2, but why can't it work on it, like it was promised by sony?
BORING!

TM 4 is better, seeing as you can access all bosses and play as one of them
Get Twisted Metal 3 Instead

If you didn't like the original Twisted Metal don't bother Reading this review -- nothing substantial has changed in the sequel. If you liked the original Twisted Metal don't bother reading this review either -- there's plenty of new cars and tracks in the sequel. If you don't fall into the above categories, read on. The Twisted Metal story is simple. Each year, a dozen-or-so misfits and malcontents meet for a battle royale in souped-up cars straight out of Death Race 2000. The last person alive gets any wish granted by Calypso, the man behind the Twisted Metal competition. Your job is to take control of one the these cars in a variety of locations and then blast your opponents to kingdom come. Graphically, the game is identical to the original Twisted Metal. On the plus side, the landscapes are richly detailed and the battlefields are complex. On the minus side, the texture-maps still look horrible up close and clipping and pop-in is still plentiful. The game also controls much the same as the original. This means you will eventually choose your ride based on a combination of 1) how cool it looks and 2) how often its handling doesn't make you want to throw your controller through the TV screen. This time around, there are plenty of tracks and a wider variety of vehicles. It appears that Single Trac listened to the folks on Usenet and included cool new cars like a hearse, a bulldozer and a grotesque man/car thing, Axel, that gives me the willies. Also new to this game are "special moves" that anyone can pull off. These include a freeze ray, a shield, and reverse weapons.
The game still shines in the two player mode. Life doesn't get much better than chasing your buddy around in a cop car and nailing him with a tazer. In fact, if you are into two-player games, there's no reason for you not to buy this game. Overall, Twisted Metal 2 is a cool game with plenty of replay value if you like beating a game 12 different ways or are into two-player games. It's just a bit surprising that the game looks so much like the original. I guess they decided "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
PREPARE FOR UTIMATE MAYHEM AND MADNESS!

In Twisted Metal 2 Caylpso picks 14 people to battle to the finish. These fourteen people are: Roadkill Twister Axel Mr. Slam Shadow Hammerhead Outlaw 2 Mr. Grimm Warthog Grasshopper Thumper Spectre Sweettooth and Minion. These Characters each have special Wepon like Tornado Spin Soul Shadow and Boomerang Blast. The Battle goes to places like Paris NY Hong Kong Even Antarctica. The game can go on and on forever. Most of the time This game is beaten by the Boss( The reigning Champion) Darktooth (Sweettooth's Father) There are different wepons like Missles The usual Missles Homing Missles They Home on the nearest eniemy Power Missles the most powerful missle. Remote bombs. You can detonate them when ever you like. The Lightning Stay away from the electricity sources. Richochet Bombs They don't expode when the hit the wall. I've told you aalot but this is only a small portion of the game.
Not as good as I hoped, but I DON'T CARE!

Being an owner of TM1, TM2, + TM3, This game has kinda weak graphics. Well sure TM1 did have that much of a story, this game tells more of a story and has some cool news charectors. TM3 has GREAT Graphics, good charectors, and a BAD BOSS AT THE END! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TM4!
Great racing/ battle game for the Playstation.

This game is one of the best for the playstation. It provides hours of gameplay and action, and will never get boring even AFTER you have beaten it once because there are different endings for any of the dozen characters you can beat it with. If you do, in fact, beat it with all the characters, the two player combat will still keep you entertained for days on end. At an affordable price of only 20 bucks, this game is a MUST HAVE for any Playstation enthusiast.
