Twisted Metal

"The game that stated it all...!!!!"

I'm sure, many of you never played the first of the series and for the ones who wonder how was the beginning like i will tell you.

I will not talk about GRAPHICS, SOUND because the score would be fair becuse of the age of the game.

The game was developed almost 7 years ago, but playin' it you realize that the idea, concept and details were really fresh and bizarre (!?!?!) the game featured 12 playsple drivers (contestants, siucidal, maniacs, crazy happy people) that had to kill each other in cars of their choice armed to the tires, with one objective: (i know, i know you played TWML 2, 3 and 4, and Black, and Small Brawl) ask for one wish that could be anything they desired no matter how crazy, impossible or weird it would be.

The menus are very simple but you can notice the darkness of the game in them. The scenarios have all 2 things in common: great designs and awful textures (some of them really confuse you in some parts of the game), the scenarios design is grat because they are a highway, a hole neighbor, and an arena to one-on-one combat.

There sis a inside-the-car view that shows the steering wheel and even the car front board, is really fun playing in this view because you can see the hands of the vehicle driver, and feel that you are really there fihgting for your life.

FUNFACTOR: All the characters are really designed and each story will make you finish the game with all, and since the final stage can be played with them all once you get there with anyone you will be hooked finishing the game with everybody, is really fun beliveme.

GAMEPLAY: The controls are very sensitive and since the game engine is the same as the TWML 2 (many of you should have played it) the combat is really fun and furiuos. Some minor issues are that the machineguns are kind of useless since you'll have to use them very close to the target and that the humans in the scenarios shoot (!!!!) and can kill you very often (and if you shoot the they will reappear later), or that the weapon icons are too similar to each oter, but these are minor details that don't make this a bad game.

LAST WORD: If you can find a copy of the game you should buy it because is this game is a legend, kinda short but really fun to play.
