Twisted Metal: The Kotaku Review

As I played through the first singleplayer mission of the new Twisted Metal I felt oddly disconnected from the previous games in the franchise. Perhaps my appreciation for the car combat genre had waned over the decade separating the latest title from PlayStation 2 classic Twisted Metal Black. Maybe I was just too old for this shit.

Twisted Metal Multiplayer Is Frantic, Fantastic

It’s not unfair to say that vehicle combat games have gone out of fashion. There are very few, if any AAA franchises anymore, which is definitely a big part of why Twisted Metal‘s multiplayer is so refreshing. The combat in the game is just as fast-paced and competitive as a FPS or fighting game, but without the reflex-based twitchy feeling that deters players who don’t have that competitive streak. This version of the game sets itself apart within its own genre as well with improved controls.
