Twisted Metal: Black 4

This is a pretty good game. In it you can choose one of several vehicles to drive. You must drive around areas and shoot your enemies with your gun. You can also pick up other weapons. When the original Twisted Metal was released in 1995, we all thought that it had awesome graphics. But when I played the original Twisted Metal after I played TMB, I felt sick. The graphics of TMB makes the original Twisted Metal's graphics look like it's an Atari 2600 game.
There is one thing about the original that I like better than TMB. On the original it lets you choose an inside of the cab view. Twisted Metal:Black does not. If that view had been included in TMB, I would give it a 5 star rating. But because that view is missing, I'm only going to give it a 4.

Short but awsome! I like the stories better especially Ravens. Lots of fun environments and some twists on some of the stories of the characters.  They Did make a sequel it's called Twisted Metal Head On, it's the same characters but 3 new environments so I don't have a REAL desire to play it. But i am a long term twisted metal fan. I used to get up at 6 am every morning to play before school!

I played the game to learn more about the characters and what made them unique. More effort and detail was put into the individual storylines than anything that has ever come out of Nintendo in the last ten years.

Twisted Metal ain't that good in my opinion, I just don't see what the hype is about. If you'd like to take a look at a lot of codes, Go to my code site: www.freewebs.com/grantheftturismo/ Its got a whole lot o' codes for PS2, X-BOX, GameCube, N-64, and PC!!!!

This game is dark, twisted, fun to play, and addicting... what's not to like here? You just have to respect any game that starts out with Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones.

Who doesn't love Twisted Metal? It's a good game that even the most novice player can have fun with. More characters then the Playstation versions, newer and larger levels, and it's much better multiplayer. This is a greatest hits game as well which means its only $20. Buy it, its worth it.

Twisted Metal: Black 5

Twisted Metal:Black The 5th installment of Twisted Metal is out and its the first car combat game to grace the PS2! Does it stand up to the challenge? Hell yeah it does! The Car-combat genre took off in early 1997 with Twisted Metal 2 and new comer in early 98, Vigilante 8. Having already liking racing games,the car-combat genre was a added welcome to the likes of Need for Speed and others.Twisted Metal is the grandfather of the car-combat genre and has a stong following of loyal supporters.I never did like Twisted Metal cause I was already hooked on V8 and Rogue Trip.I did try TM once,but it was TM3! which was a horrible game and I vowed not to ever buy another TM game.Hearing of TMB a while ago and knowing the makers of the first 2 installments were going to be making it,I thought I give it a try....I mean hell,this game has been into development for 2 years! they gotta be doing something right. Gameplay Ever play a car-combat game with no slowdowns? Yeah I know....NEVER! TMB gives you blazing speed when in combat.Even when there are several cars in the screen at one time,TMB delivers real car combat.In 1 player mode you have 3 choices:story,challenge and endurance.Story mode puts you into the game with your selceted driver and you have to go through selected battlegrounds to unlock his or her story.In challenge mode you choose your driver and battleground then you choose your opponets,you can choose up to eight.I recommend choosing 1 enemy when first starting this game so you can get use to the controls Endurance mode is fighting a series of opponents with a single car.Here you can unlock levels but I wouldnt try this out first without getting use to the controls. The controls at default I didnt like so I changed them to "control freak" setting.Once you find a setting you like,the controls come real easy. In multi-player you have 2-4 player deathmatch,2p co-op and last man standing. 2-4 player deathmatch speaks for itself! no need to go into details with explaining it.Co-op is where you and a friend work as a team against other drivers.You share lives in this one, so work as a team and not as indivisuals. 2 Player:Last man standing is where to players compete until the end.The winner is the one who destroys all of his opponents vehicals. It took me a little while to get use to the driving engine.To me Smugglers Run was easier to get use to but once youve played TMB enough,its real easy to drive.Each character has its own intro movie and all the unlockable characters have movies as well.Each character has its own unique personallity...choose what ya like.All characters are from previous Twisted Metal installments so fans of this game will recognize the familar characters.I personally think Sweet Tooths intro movie is the best...this cat is one evil,sick and sinister mother beep I have ever seen! Graphics and Sound Some people who are use to colorful Final Fantasy type graphics may have something to say about Blacks graphics.Please understand this...TMB is a dark game.You wont see lush green grass or nice pretty colors.This game is meant to be dark,dark as in sad,misery and sinister.Once you get to play this a while youll notice little details and will realize that TMB has some of the best graphics on the PS2.I like the fact that TMB didnt really go with the usual themed battlergrounds like previous car-combat games...ie:Vigilante 8 with its snow,farm,desert,etc etc etc.It has one theme and thats what the "black" is.The levels are from small to massive and very well designed.Most objects like houses,fences,stores etc etc are destructable so dont be afraid to plow through things for a means of escape.Sound is great! anyone to give it less than a 9/10 is ignorant or just plain stupid,sorry no offence.If you watch the credits movie,"Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones begins to play! The ingame music is comparable to Nine Inch Nails..suits the game extremely well while sound FX are also well done too. Overall Working for over 2 years on this game has paid off,the wait for all you Twisted Metal fans is finally over.This is far and above all other car combat games its not even funny.This will without a doubt raise the level for other developers! The bar is very high and the PS2 is less than a year old.Imagine what the future will hold? This game gets a 9.8
