The first day I played this game (about seven years ago), I was shocked in a good way, because this game is phenomenal. Using vehicles for combat and multiplied destruction couldn't be better. Even though its graphics could be sharpened and more detailed, the gameplay, and value of this game are in the spotlight. Each level are unique from each other, and I must say that they include a lot of beautiful textures; they range from an underground arena, to skycrapers. Using the sophisticated weaponry with advanced techniques will keep you glued to your screen; you get to retrieve weapons you see that appear, and use them for your enemies. As for sound, the SFX is a little over average, it isn't as detailed or spectacular. With the music though, that's one concept of this game that makes it outstanding; orchestra, symphony type music with a touch of hard core music makes this game prosperous.

You can play 2-player deathmatches which really kick arse. If you're alone and want to do a tournament match, you will fight and may win until you ask Calypso, the leader in the car combat series, for your ultimate wish to come true.

If you are someone who likes to battle the brawl on the urban side of town, then this game is for you.

A classic PSX game

Twisted metal was one of PSX greats.
The game was Messed up! And some stuff just didn't follow up.
The games graphics are horrible to todays gaming industrie.
The best Twisted metal game was BLACK.

This is one of the most original games to ever come out for psx...This is also the first I game I played were you acctually run over people...

This game is over all a classic. I loved this game when I first baught it which was about 7 years ago.

And Im not going to give it less just cause it's a little old.
People who love Twisted Metal Games should own the original and Black. Those are great games.

Or if you are a PSX fan just get this game! It's great...

Later..

Not the First

Twisted Metal started the whole car battle racing genre for the game consoles, but it was not the first of it's kind. For that you have to look to the British video game Carmageddon. It was the first and IMHO still the best one out there!

Both games now look a bit dated, but for sheer fun and mayhem, they can't be beat and Camageddon is the deeper game of the two.

heh

I've only played Twisted Metals 3 and 4, but not the first two games in the series...Twisted Metal 4 has cheats to unlock the bosses like Sweet Tooth, Minion, etc.

The first serious game of its type. Still a classic.

As of today, I still play this about once or twice a year on my PS2. I also own Twisted Metal 2, III, and 4. These are the only ones I have played, and to this date, the original is still the best, although popular opinion would say Twisted Metal 2.
Back when this game first came out, it was a new innovative kind of game. A first(or third)-person shooter using vehicles instead of people (even though the cars had drivers). It is the original game of its type (not Carmageddon) and has been the basis for many other popular and not-so-popular games such as Cel Damage and the Vigilante series. Yet even now it, or at least the franchise, is still the leader in vehicular combat games. This is why I give it 5 stars even now in 2007. In it's day, the graphics were amazing and state of the art. It doesn't lose any stars for graphics because even by today's standards the graphics are not bad. Nothing compared to Motorstorm on PlayStation 3, but still, good. As to the actual game. I have beaten it countless times. It is not too hard for a beginner or child, and yet has enough challenge and replayability to keep veteran players like myself still playing. It is a game where you are selected to compete in a worldwide, illegal tournament hosted by a mysterious figure named Calypso. Little is known about him or the tournament, but you must battle your way through the levels to meet him. If you do win and meet him, you get whatever you want(kind of like a single-wish genie, if you will). This does not spoil any of the plot as it states this in the booklet that comes with the game and the opening animation. The interesting things are the individuals desires, which you can only learn by beating the game(I'm not tellin').

I love this game as it is a vintage game for me. I played this game a lot 10 years ago back in high school and found it to really fun.
