Themes:Action, Thriller, Survival
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Twisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.Show more

Did you know that Twisted Metal actually has a PC port, but it's exclusive to Japan for some reason? It works just fine, too, so this one is a totally viable option (licensing issues aside, whatever they may be).
I Remember Getting This Copy For Free On PC, It Wasn't As Great Playing On PC As It Was On PSX, But.. It Was Still So Much Fun In Multiplayer Mode Even Single Mode, I Think Its Time We Get The Whole Series Remastered On PC, Imagine Playing Them On Steam Deck!

The original Twisted Metal that started something big. The genre is virtually dead but back then. This jump started a new trend among driving games. Originally going to have live action FMV endings. Which were later released through Twisted Metal: Head-On Extra Twisted Edition on PS2. This was one of Dave Jaffe's first video games. The audio kinda sticks with you for many years. An interesting roster of characters. A small variety within the stages. Twisted Metal can be somewhat frustrating. But it's so satisfying to keep pushing forward taking out your opponents. This was an early PS1 game not quite launch title. Parts of this game holds up well with some aspects becoming more dated overtime. Honestly, it's a fun time especially you wanna blow stuff up.

This is the first PlayStation Exclusive to ever come out on PC. It's so ancient that nobody knows, because of how rare it is. I played this back in the day for hours on my PS1 days and it's just...chaotic fun all-around. F@#K, I miss the old Twisted Metal game. This will be hard to port, no doubt, because of how rare the game is on PC. Maybe Nightdive can look into it, I suppose.
