Twisted metal head on is a really good game for the PSP. If you have a PSP and dont have this game I would buy it right now. It was the first game I got for it and it was great. The gameplay is awesome. Its so smooth on the psp and the graphics are amazing for a portable. If you have never played twisted metal, it is a car demolition game but with rockets and machine guns and stuff. There are about 14 vehicles to be and also some secret characters. Each character has a different special move for the vehicle and also a different story of there life. The basic thing for the game is to get through 8 levels of demolitions of versing other characters in the game and when you win the final battle you get to see the story end to the characters. They wish for something from calypso because the thing is if you win you get one wish of anything. There are plenty of different rockets to get in the game. The music for the game is really good to. It goes really well with the gameplay and it never gets boring. There are a lot of characters so you wont beat the game in one day. The levels in the game are really good also, there is paris, egypt, tokyo, rooftops, las angelos and much more. There are even secret deathmatches for multiplayer. The game is also good for online and wireless multiplayer. You can verse anybody in the united states and there are different games you can pick like team, deathmatch, capture the flag and more. The gameplay is pretty smooth online and each player has there own stats. There are a lot of players online at the same time too so there will always be people to verse, you can also create your own game online so its fun for you. There is also a new thing where if u kill somebody u get an upgrade like machine gun upgrade, armor upgrade, turbo upgrade, special weapom upgrade and more and it stays with you till you die. The only problem I had with the game is that it can get a little bit to easy and the stories at the end can get pretty stupid like they say something wrong for the wish or say something with two meanings or somebody will just do something stupid like be really happy and run across the street and get hit by a car or something. Still for some reason you will still have the craving to see the endings even though you know its gunna be stupid. Out of 10 I would rate this game as an 8. Very good game so get it for PSP. [...] This has been another game rated by DARTH RAGE.
Best PSP title yet! Best TM game yet!

If you are a fan of the Twisted Metal series, you will love Head-On. It is basically TM: Black, but less violent and dark. There are plenty of levels, from L.A. to Greece, and the environments are totally destructible. The controls are great, with a classic TM feel, though I'm still not sold on the analog "nub" idea. There are so many vehicles and characters, each with their own twisted ending, that give the game a lot of replay value, it's amazing. The graphics are top-notch, PS2 quality. Basically, if you're a fan of the series, buy this game. If you bought a PSP and want, in my opinion, the best launch title, buy this game. If you didn't like previous installments, Head-On won't change your mind.
Return of Classic Twisted

This game is actually a sequel to Twisted Metal 2. Which in my opinion was the best Twisted Metal. All the original characters are back and the weapon damage is back which was missing in Twisted Metal Black. The cinema stories are as twisted as ever, some are good others, eh.
I particually liked the improvements. You actually unlock the endings of the characters and can view them any time. The music on the first stage was awesome and the little hidden areas in a few other stages were very nice. The upgrades were and excellent idea and are handled quite nicely.
All the characters are treated with respect to preserve there original feel. There are several hidden areas to unlock in the stages like TM2 had.
The boss enemies are back as well but, there are two new ones. The two new bosses are Cousin Eddie, and Tower Tooth. The only character that I really missed was Minion. He was absent for some reason.
All the cinemas assume that most people got their wish in TM2. I don't want to spoil it so I can't give details.
The hardness select is nice but A suggestion "Don't try Tower Tooth on Hard". That's suicide.
I highly recommend any fan of car combat to buy this game. The only flaw with the game is that is isn't available on Playstation 2. I would really like to play four players against friends.
A true sequel to TM2.
the best psp game yet

INTRO:Twisted metal is a longtime franchise who made its debut on ps1 the franchise is known for being very destructive and its debut on psp portable system represents exactly that.It goes back to twisted metal 2 wich is the best of the serie.Psp has taken many famous franchise to make ripp-off of them but this game is an exeption.
The game is great the graphics are awsome and i love this game The characters are various as you can choose characters as the clown and even the grim reaper.They all have different vehicles from the classic ice cream truck to the atv,harley and even a tank and all have special attacks but wich are hard to perform.The game is a fast action and cool destructive game.
The enviroments are looking great with stages for Egypt,Paris,Tokyo,Russia,a Baseball field and more about everything you see is destructible ading more fun to the game.You gotta catch weapons such as grenades to hit your oponents.
The story mode is cool but it doesnt really have any storyline and the ending Boss is tough to beat as many say and that mode aint real long.Its mostly giving the action to players whitout boring them with a storyline it goes straight to the action.Other modes includes chalenge mode which just allow you to play levels and endurence in wich you have to beat as many opponents as possible.
Overral:Some bad points like the hard boss at the end and the controls for specials are hard to memorize but its mostly a great game and it didnt ruin twisted metal it made it better and its portable start is awsome hopefully another will come for Psp!I recomend it to twisted metal fans and those who arent and if you like destructive games you will have a good time!
"THE" Twisted Metal Title we all have been waiting for!

this is an Excellent game with 12 vehicles and several unlockable vehicles and about 21 unlockable environments and even better a ton of minigames that range from a complete blast to play to a tad frustrating (think platforming with a CAR on the TOKYO ROOFTOPS area (think back to TM:2) and voila! nasty but still fun.
add to this formula, destructable environments and that lil item made my day (I used to hate running into a tree with MINION and it STOPPING ME. lol) not anymore however the trees give way and damage your car fairly realisticly.
sadly NO MINION but that is good in a way because the vehicles in this one are so well balanced that no one has ANY big advantage over all of the others like big baddies like minion did.
NOW for the multiplayer modes, WOW!!! very fun and a blast with up to 6 friends via wireless ad-hoc or Infrastructure mode (after a quick and free signup)
you control whether or not the environments are destructable or not in multiplayer and you also choose time limit or none, choose new vehicle after death or not, and finally artifacts!
new nifty power ups that do many things like increase turbo recarge rate and energy also double damage machine guns for a few examples. The envornmental weapons are all back like the lightning from the greek statues and radio tower. and a bunch more.
this games bosses are really well done too with crazy eddy being the first and a real blast to attempt to kill (the RV's are loony) and all the way up to tower tooth and the rest.
Fun: this game is a MUST OWN! 5 stars!
Graphics: better then TM: Black and any of the ps1 ver. so 5 star!
Sound: what you would expect but some surprises 4 stars
Overall: 5 Stars! this game is fun alone and a mega blast with friends or on the web and if you like these games like I do and especally this one you might want the ps2 version called TM: head on the extra twisted edition. 16 classic vehicles return plus all 12 new ones and 4 unknown unlockables. *see my review*

The PSP is the future of gaming and Twisted Metal is a must have for the system. It is fast paced and easy to play. It takes maybe 10 minutes to get the idea of the game and gameplay. This game is more of a compilation of the most popular aspects of prior TM games. The graphics are pristine and the concept is executed flawlessly. This game will keep you entertained for hours. I am a firm believer that Twisted Metal 2 was one of the best in the series, but this one blows it out of the water. I highly recommend this game to everyone.
OK game:not amazing

I recently rented this game and at first i was pretty impressed. The graphics were great and I quickly became comfortable with the controls and the theme of ultimate destruction. But after the initial shock wore off, I regognized some problems. The story really has no plot(all you do is blow up the enemy cars-nothing else), and the replayability is not good. After having the game for 2 days, I began to get bored. Overall, this game has good points and bad points, so I recommend a rental.
Great game to start with

trust me on this one, this is the best psp game out there right now. the psp library is pretty small right now, and there arent that many good games (Gretzkey, Fifa, MLB, MGA) but this one is definetely fun, this was my first game i bought for the psp and this game to me is way more fun then Coded Arms which i bought after this.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...
