Twisted Metal is a game I really enjoyed when I first heard about it on PSone. It was fun, the characters were colorful, and the game play was great. Now for Head-On, the first 2 are still true, but the last one is not. The controls are way too sensative. That is the only knock I have on the game. If your a fan of the game and have great hand-eye coordination, you'll enjoy it.

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*

again this one is not the same but better then black. its more or less a sequal to black. stories are decent. all the characters come from the first 3 of the orginal twisted metal series which is awomse. levels are awsome and are like twisted metal 2 and 3 which were world tours. problem is this is the first game with out the character minion (even though black had him but was a tanker semi and the size of yankee statium its doesnt count in my book) and doesnt have auger from twisted metal 3 and 4. a couple drivers are different like hammer head for instance is not driven by that old granny like in twised metal 3 and a couple others i can that i cant remember. Calypso is the one from black not the orginal series. talks at least in this one and has some blond hair but is still bald. if this Calypso were the orginal it be about as good as twisted metal 3. storys suck and the drivers do not talk about thier bio like in twised metal 3 and 4. also the endings are all pictues like with twised meal 1. this game also has 2 new steet tooths. sweet tooth has a son named dark tooth. drives a simular car like his dads only is the size of the white house!! top it off sweet tooth is fat in this game and has no shirt. and then theres tower tooth who is the size of the space needel and is impossible to defeate without cheat codes. i am giving this a 2 because it the sweet tooth(s) gig in general is dumb, not the orginal Calypso sucks, and the fact minion is not in it is another. also the stories are horrible + in live motion either. since it did have the old drivers (even though a couple were different) and the levels were great thats 2 out of 6. but was a fairly fun game even though a couple levels are boring like the stadium for one.

I've been looking for a game that is perfect for the PSP and I've finally found it. Twisted Metal is highly addicting and extremely fun. The graphics are great for the small screen and there are lots of maps to play against other opponents. You can even play against up to 7 other friends who have a PSP by going through the infrared port or via a wireless LAN. I highly recommend this to others who like first-person shooter games.
