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 think this is the best of the Twisted metal series so far. This one has the best people and the best locations.

Good game to start off the TM series

"Twisted Metal" is a pretty good combat vehicle shooter. It's the game that first put the Twisted Metal series on the map. It's fun and it has some cool battlegrounds. It's not as good as "Twisted Metal 2," but it's a lot better than "Twisted Metal 3."

If you feel like doing some combat against some fierce enemies who want to do their best to stop you, I would recommend getting "Twisted Metal."

Not a twist

I know this game like the back of my hand. It is on of the best yet. This one and Twisted Metal 2 were the best. Twisted Metal got messed up when it hit #. Now the next best will be Twisted Metal:Black for PS2. Trust me about the first and second Twisted Metal games. They are the best.

TM2 TM1 TM4 TM3 Best to worst in that order!!!!

Lets see, first don't get overly surprised by great levels and graphics because they are not. The theme of the levels are great though. Another thing I noticed that each password was the same for all the cars. This is a wonderful game. The Kars r Kool! with capital K's . The coolest thing about this game is that you can play as Darkside! The special stinks though. Pit Viper is my favorite car and her sticky goo special is great!!!

great game!

black is the king of them all, but before that, and even now, swettooth's debut game. you may know sweettooth as the flame haired, demon clown king of twisted metal, but this came out in 1995, 6 years ago, so sweettooth is a human, an escaped mental patient on a rampage!! if you wanna see something freaky, look at his picture in the choose vehicle screen, creeepy!, also, you can be sweettooth! great game, dont waist you're time to rent it, it's a waist of money.....BUY IT!
