In the same destroy-or-be-destroyed spirit as the best-selling games that bore the title before it, Twisted Metal for PlayStation 3 is a violent vehicular shooter, with arcade pacing and fighting-game styled rivalries. Players choose from more than a dozen vehicles, with different balances of speed, handling, and durability, and each heavily armed with a distinct mix of missiles, machine guns, and (often darkly humorous) mascot special attacks.

The new "Juggernaut" is a full-sized tractor trailer that can blast through barricades and bullet spray, loading up with two additional teammates for increased firepower, as they man its multiple mounted turrets. For the first time in the series, some vehicles can take to the air. The "Talon" is a small helicopter with a big mini-gun. Combat plays out across apocalyptic battlegrounds full of ramps, shortcuts, blind corners, and destructible landmarks.

The story has each player allying with one of four factions, inspired by some of the most memorable characters from earlier Twisted Metal games. A split-screen option is available for two to four players on the same console. As many as 16 can battle online, over the PlayStation Network, in a variety of multiplayer modes.

The PlayStation 3's 2011 version of Twisted Metal was developed by Eat Sleep Play. The studio's co-founders, David Jaffe and Scott Campbell, were responsible for the design, direction, and technical development of previous games in the series, including the PS2's Twisted Metal: Black and the 1995 PlayStation original. ~ T.J.

    I used to love the twisted metal games. I had played them all. So when I heard they were gonna revive the series for the PS3 I thought I would take a look. And I have to say I was extremely disappointed. Other than some new special attacks and better graphics, it was the same game. the lack of other actual characters in story mode is almost offensive. they have the axel car however sweet tooth is the driver. What happened to the axel we all fell in love with in twisted metal 2. he had probably the most interesting story out of all the twisted metal games. And some of the challenges are not only stupid, but also completely pointless. The "Cage" match is completely un-necessary for the game. aside from being set up by an idiot, it is stupid hard. Whoever had the idea for the "cage" needs to beaten with his own laptop until they can't feel feelings anymore. All in all the game is a massive fail. I wouldn't recommend this to sweet tooth himself.

    I played the game when it first came out and it was okay. I agree the controls were poor, but the story mode was good, but it's no need for speed either.

    I'm not much of a car combat or Twisted Metal fan, but I feel more than qualified to put my two cents in regardless of fanatic outrage, and I think the controls are pretty awful. They're too lost, steering feels like trying to drive with a disc on a string, and it gets even more frustrating when I have to deal with slippery surfaces and moving arenas on top of that.

    Yes   |   No
