Where else can you pit a Hummer against a motorcycle? Ttwisted Metal is best described with one word: great! We've all seen the demolition derby games where you smash up other cars. The pick-up and play battle modes the game provides lend themselves to long multiplayer sessions with pals. However, when you take into account the replay value and the multiplayer aspects of this title, the shortcomings of the campaign mode become less of an issue.

You can easily power through all six stages in a matter of hours, so in terms of value for money, the campaign mode for this game leaves the player wanting more. However, what we will say is that these stages are in short supply. These stages are well designed and offer enough variety in layout to provide a different challenge each time you play through a stage. Plus, the game offers a variety of different areas to battle in too, all within the Los Angeles area. The game offers a wide range of vehicles to choose from, including monster trucks, police cars and clown-themed ice cream vans to share a few with you. It is a wacky concept that offers fun and fast-paced gameplay which while not the deepest or nuanced we have ever seen, still provides hours of fun. With the overall goal of being the last car in the arena that hasn’t exploded into little pieces.

The player gains access to rocket launchers, machine guns, elemental effects, land mines, flamethrowers and much more to take out the competition. Well, Twisted Metal takes this concept and gives the player a wealth of over the top and violent options to make this a reality. This usually involves drivers tactically crashing into opponents until they are the last car standing. If you’ve ever seen the destruction derbies that take place in America, you’ll understand this concept very well. If we were to sum up Twisted Metal in one sentence, it would be that this game is a fighting game where you control cars instead of humans.
