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.

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').

Worst Twisted Metal game.

First of all, the graphics suck. The characters suck. Everything sucks in this one. My brother paid ten dollars for this game. I wouldn't of paid a penny. Rent it if you dare. Terrible game.

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 legendary Twisted Metal,good times,good times........

Ok, the graphics suck, but the game itself is awesome. There's even cheat codes in it to help and it is very fun to play in Multi-player. Running over the pedestrians are fun and crashing into buildings and cars. And i have it in its original packaging
in thos big original PS1 cases.

Twisted Metal.....

I, too, remember way back in the early days of the PS1 when this game came out. My friends and I played this game for hours and hours. In fact, during that time, all we played was mostly Singletrac(now Incognito)games....like Twisted Metal, Jet Moto. By far, though, this game was our favorite. In fact, this series is still a favorite of ours today with the current iterations(like Twisted Metal Black and Twisted Metal Head-On). There was just something about the dark nature of the game that kept us glued to the TV set. Getting in cars and attempting to destroy the rest of them was just plain out fun. Sure, the game had its' flaws but it's a classic that truly stands the test of time. It's a classic that every PS owner should have in their collection. 'Nuff said....

Real Fun

Yep, I can remember back in the day when the Playstation just came out and this was the first game i got back when the PS1 games came in those bulky cardboard cases instead of the smaller jewel cases. Well, this game is still a blast to play after all these years and is easily one of my favorite games of all time. This one had all the perfect levels and the perfect balance of characters set in a darker tone than the other games had besides TM:Black of course. I liked how each level had some destructible environments as well as the inside cockpit view in the cars. The stories for each of the characters were all interesting and made you want to play through with each character. Overall, this is a great game that will have you playing for quite a while and while your at it, check out TM2 which is an amazing game as well. You should especially check this one out if your a newer fan to the series and want to see the games roots.

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.

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..
