Twisted Metal

High atop his penthouse office, a mysterious ringleader named Calypso lords over the contest of vehicle combat known as Twisted Metal. He returns again to host the ultimate contest of skill and destruction. Contestants have been chosen to compete and, should they emerge victorious, win whatever prize their heart desires. <p>Twisted Metal, the longest running franchise in PlayStation history, is now back, exclusively on the PS3 system.

Players fight for the prize of one wish fulfilled by the stylishly evil Calypso, the mastermind behind the Twisted Metal tournament. Disciples strategically dismantle opponents in vehicles loaded with weapons of Twisted destruction. With a robust online system, players unleash destruction with up to 16 players through PlayStation Network and battle through a variety of favorite and new game modes.

    Graphics

    Nice car models and well-designed stages make Twisted Metal a chaotic treat. Certain special effects, like missile smoke, bring this grimy world to life.

    Sound

    Fun soundtrack that fits with the eccentric universe of the Twisted Metal series. Solid voice-over work.

  • 8

    Appeal

    Although the campaign goes by fast, multiplayer and a supportive community will help Twisted Metal last. Some insane unlocks will also keep the devoted busy.

  • 9

    Play

    Thoughtful, exhilarating annihilation. Great single-player campaign and superb multiplayer support. Annoying auto-lock system.

  • 7

    Presentation

    Interesting stories suffer from plot holes. Interface works well and Twisted Metal runs smoothly overall.
