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....

My favorite game in the series just barely above TM2

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.

This is a great game for everyone to have fun with!

If you are looking for a cheesy racing game, this is not what you are looking for. This game is pounded with so much action, explosion, and destruction that you will feel like you are in a battle field full of psychos. Buy this game, you wont regret it.

A classic!

While seeming kind of pixilated and slow nowadays, back when it first came out, TM was an incredible-looking game! The action was quick, the backgrounds creepy, and the energy high. TM2 was even better, then those idiots at 989 Studios got a hold of the franchise and ruined it! Oh well, there's always Vigilate 8... And you can always go back and relive the classic Twisted Metal!

great fun fantastic

When I first played this game (seven years ago) I instantly got hooked. Twisted Metal was the first of its kind. No one had ever heard of a car game where you drive around blowing your computer opponents away. Even though the gameplay was drawling as you did the same thing for level after level after level, no one cared. That's how great this game was (and still is). Twisted Metal gave the world of gaming a new insight. It started this chain reaction that just could not be stopped. The characters are awesome and the gameplay is phenomenal.
Bottom Line: Twisted Metal rocks!!!!!!!

Real Fun

When the game FIRST came out, It was mad fun, shooting other cars with your car was fun ish. I liked this game, I mean NOW of course it would suck, but back then this game owned.

Good for newcomers to the TM series

The original Twisted Metal is either the second best or third best of the TM series in my opinion. It's a little bit slow compared to all the other Twisted Metal games, but that's really the only drawback I could find with it. It's fun and has a lot of non-stop explosive action much like TM2 only it's not quite as good and the levels aren't as imaginative or well laid out.

However, when you compare it to TM3, this game and all the other TM games ROCK! Unlike TM3, it has good control and a lot of replay value.

Bottom line, if you're a newcomer to the Twisted Metal series, I would recommend getting this one first then once you master it and get used to the controls and can beat all your friends at it, get Twisted Metal 2 because it's the best of the series.

A game worth playing.buying.keeping.play again.play again...

Wow. A game where you blow up stuff that isn't Mature. This game has some of the worst graphics I have ever seen. But don't get discouraged. Ignore the graphics long enough to see this is the 2nd most fun game I have ever played (next to Final Fantasy VIII). First off I love the characters. Especially the escaped mental patient Sweet Tooth (avoid telling your mother about that little detail). I also like Yellow Jacket. The cab driver. Another great quality is the gameplay itself. This is such a fun game. With great levels. It has such amazing replay value. Even the most advanced games don't have as good replay value as Twisted Metal. Buy this game. Beleive me, it is definetly worth buying.

989 can't make Twisted Metal for beans!

A great type of demolition derby! Exept for the guns and pedestrien crushing. There isn't much more to say besides this is a great game. But we probably won't se another good Twisted Metal again besides TW1 and TW2 because 989 studios ruined Twisted Metal. SingleTrac makes the best TW games. 989 should stick with Syphon Filter.The best thing about this game is blowing all the enemies to smitherines.
