The plot - the least important element in games of this kind - is simple: you are competing in a worldwide car combat game staged by the a powerful man named Calypso. The action takes place in 8 different locales around the world, many featuring destructible buildings and landmarks. They just don't kill the games appeal though.The second in the Twisted Metal series of car combat games, and the last to be developed by SingleTrac, Twisted Metal 2 is considered by most of its fans to be the pinnacle of the series.Ĭombat takes place between a wide array of vehicles ranging from a man strapped between two wheels to an ice cream truck, using an eclectic arrangement of weaponry.

Its hart to hate what you love, but even Twisted Metal has its shortcomings.

Yet, the music rocks, the characters are awesome, the cars are great, the weapons are great, the levels are varied, and it just does what it does so well. Its un-suited for a car combat game and I've been playing these since the original playstation. In fact I blame a lot the inherent difficulty in just maneuvering you're vehicle on the control scheme. Also the control scheme is garbage if you're not used to it. These boss fights are ridiculous and unless its magically easier with 2 players instead of one- I'm still guessing they would be a bit frustrating. Its of course around the second that you start to wonder why you can't seem to progress through the game very easily. The levels are easy and even if you're not very good with the characters that apparently built their vehicles out of tissue paper, its still not impossible. Maybe its the control scheme or maybe its just my inability to carry on against un-winnable boss fights. Maybe its the control scheme or maybe its just my inability to carry on Its so fun- but its so damn hard.
