Even though I cant play it yet, Twisted Metal Black looks awesome! Its going to be the best Twisted Metal ever. Of course, I would know. I have every Twisted Metal that ever came out. Even better, it's for Playstation 2! Wow! I can imagine how good this one's going to be. Another good thing about TMB is that it is rated Mature. Now im not the kind of person who loves to see heads being blown off and stuff, but this game is going to have what the other versions lacked- Complete carnage with more blood. I mean come on, its about an insane clown who goes on a rampage!
Why would you listen to the Japanese

You poeple that gave it 1 star are the dumbest people I have ever met. If I may steal a line from someone else "How can you rate a game before it even came out and you listened to the Japenese too." I have played tm1 and 2 and if it is the same people who made those games it will be fantastic. So for all you people that gave it 1 star you are idiots for listening to the Japanese. I am making up for the ratings that you took from this game.
How could I refuse?

They're bacccccccccck, and badder than ever!
Twisted Metal Black is without a doubt the most disturbing game in the popular series. Each character has a dark story, and is looking for an answer, but they need to win the tournament called Twisted Metal to receive thier wishes. Characters from previous games in in here: Sweet Tooth, Mr. Grimm, Axel, Warthog, Minion, Road Kill and a batch of new characters. I personally like the opening to Sweet Tooth.
why so dark>??

pros: 1) great graphics: similar to gran turismo 3, just a little more hazy and gritty. much better than psone twisted metal titles.
2) great multiplayer mode: like quake 3 with cars, would be phenomenal online (which will happen around xmas)
cons: 1) too dark: there is really no reason for it, its just to add to the shock value of the game because thats what gamemakers think people like, sick,twisted games.
2) dumb stories: these stories are what gives the game its mature rating, filled with murderous tales, profanity ect. The purpose of playing the game is to unlock these stories, which seems comical to me.
3) way too hard: its beatable, but just not fun. The computer cars just attack you and not each other, so it is 7 vs 1 instead of everyone for themselves. Health is scarce and when you get it it hardly gives you enough to survive a direct hit. Repair stations are inconvienently located and are always surrounded by several ememies. This turns the game from what it should be, a fun shooter, into a frustrating survival game.
Overall: Buy it, what the heck, its good just not great
Not much new but a solid implementation

Generally nothing new here. Same game as Carmagedon but less fun. If you liked Carmagedon 1 you will be disappointed by this game.
What's good about it:
Frame rate is way up there for a larger terrain map. Game is very responsive.
Menu art work and interface nicely done.
Music is good.
Weaponary is fun.
What's not good about it:
Scenary is dark and foggy. Partially because the story calls for it but probably to cull most of the terrain away.
Dynamics are not as good as Carmagedon. When cars crash or flip over the physics are not quite right. Considering Carmagedon came out probably over 4 years ago, I am disappointed by the dynamics in this game.
Cars do not deform as well as in Carmagedon so you have to look at the "health" meter to figure out when your car will blow up.
Extremely difficult even on easy level.
Game has less personality than Carmagedon. You don't get screaming pedestrians, tourists and cows.
nothing original

if i learned anything from street fighter, just adding more doesn't help. They added more charcters, more moves, etc. nothing new since SF2Turbo, then it went all downhill. Twisted metal is in the same situation.

I've researched this game a lot and it's gonna really cool! Especially because of the PS2's capability and all the new additions to the game. In my opinion it's good and bad that TMB is rated M the good the action is gonna be more intense the bad if you're under 17 and aren't allowed to play M rsted games you're basically [out of luck].

DON'T BUY THIS! Twisted Metal Online will come shortly after, possibly this year! it just depends on the netwerk going up, if it goes up this year, then so does TMO
