Would rather play the original twisted metal

I'm not entirely what exactly the game is about, I haven't gotten very far in it because it is so hard to get interested in. Vehicle handeling and far from any other racing game, not in a good way. The destruction tactics aren't all that neat, and graphically is disappointing as a PS3 title. I suggest getting a PSONE and playing the original twisted metal before wasting your money.

Do not buy this game

This is very boring. I am glad I rented it. Only played it for about 20 minutes and that was it. I would not accept it if some one gives it to me for free.

REALLY, DO NOT BUY THIS.

This game is pretty terrible. It's one of 3 games I purchased along with my PS3 and I played it maybe a total of 6 times.

This wasn't due to lack of wanting to play, but because each time I played I'd end up so annoyed and infuriated that I'd put it down for another week.

The graphics ARE nice, but there are slowdowns and it just isn't very control friendly. The races are atrociously hard, usually too hard to be fun, and there's rarely anyone worthwhile to play with online.

To top it off the game save file would get corrupted pretty often (no I did not turn off the console during HDD access). This is the only game this happens on so I think it's just buggy.

Don't waste your money or your time, you won't be able to sell it for more than $20 at your local game store.

A big disappointment due to poor graphics and physics

Full Auto 2 is a huge disappointment, esp. since it's a Sega game and I expected so much more. I had played the original Xbox 360-exclusive Full Auto and it was a total disaster. Full Auto 2, exclusive to the PS3, is a much improved version, but overall it's still a crappy game.

First, the graphics is poor for a PS3 game (and for the price). The cars have no details and the environment inadequately rendered. It really feels like a PS2 game that was just half-heartedly dressed up.

Second, and more devastating, is the laughable car physics. The vehicles just feel weightless and ridiculously unreal. When you are racing you don't feel like you are racing at all. It's almost as if you weren't even controlling your car. The physics here is the worst I've seen in a racer in a long time (only the original Full Auto was worse).

Because you can shoot at your opponents when you're driving, there's so some fun factor to this game, especially for a couple of hours in the beginning. Ultimately, this game falls far short of its potentials (just like the original for the X360). It just sucks.

online gladiator mode is great

I can understand some of the negative reviews. The racing mode is not my favorite. Sometime about the handling does not feel right.

However, online gladiator mode is awesome. The destructive environments are cool. I like how you can crash into buildings and objects and see them destroyed.

This is a good alternative for people who dont like FPS with blood and gore.

The only problem with online, is it can be hard to find some people online

Let the good fun roll...online

I have put about 3 hours into this game including offline and online play. Online play is fun especially gladiator and Cat & Mouse. Destructible environments make the title more "believable." If this game were completely online, this game would be 4-5 stars.
The offline career mode is the only way to unlock the entire set of weapons and vehicles. There are several cheat codes to help you on your way. 5FINGERDISCOUNT and 10E6CUSTOMER are among them.
Now for the reason for the 3/5...You have to unlock the vehicles and weapons in career mode/cheat mode before you can use them online. So when you go online after playing 5 minutes of career mode with your smokescreen and machine guns be prepared to get blown away time and again by the folks (eg. 13 year old kids) with their homing missile and flamethrower.
The long and short of it: This game is a good rental or buy if you have a few friends who also have the game.

Okay, I guess

This game could have been a lot better.

Racing games where you shoot each other isn't exactly a new idea.

Basically this is a boring single player game. You play single player to figure out the abilities of the game and to unlock other cars for multiplayer.

Only one problem. Multiplayer online is horrible.

This was a rushed launch title. It would be best to forget that it ever came out in the first place.

Addictive but crappy

I'd love to have a few minutes alone with the idiots who created this game. I meant to put one star, but it won't let me change it. It is awesome in a few ways, but it has so many glitches that it will drive you nuts, especially in on-line mode. At random times you will not be able to get mortarts, wrenches, etc. because the game will just stop recognizing that you are there. Even your weapons will stop becoming effective for a few seconds at a time while your enemy pounds away on you and you look like an idiot. People will sometimes even "bounce" off of mortars without dying. Some people will be able to have the advantage of driving through walls or getting mortars by driving under them, while you for some reason will not. Some people's nail bombs will kill you with one shot while your nail bombs won't kill them with three shots, yet sometimes the it switches around, so you have to play several games against someone to make it fair. It is so frustrating and retarded. Despite this, the game is hugely addicting, as you can see by the fact that I am currently ranked fifth in the world. Trust me, the problems are not due to internet glitches-- once you play the game you will see what I mean.

Rent before you buy...

This is not your typical racing game. This is not your typical car destruction game. In the middle of these two genres we get a game called Full Auto 2. I made this one of my first PS3 purchases. Thinking that the game would be somewhat decent since the reviews were good. I was in love with the Twisted Metal series and thought this could at least be something to keep me occupied before other new games arrove. Generally my first impressions were good. The visuals are excellent and the mayhem is spectacular. This game is 1080p and it shows. Although it is also a rather new series. I would have to say it still needs some work. The game plays sloppily at times and the destruction seems much harder to achieve than I would like. When you are in the arenas it seems as though many cars attempt to avoid you which in turn takes a lot of fun out of destruction. Then the car physics are less reliable than I would enjoy. What made Twisted Metal so great was that the cars did what you wanted them to do. In this game it seems to easy to get stuck and in a defensless position. Although as you progress you can achieve better vehicles it seems more difficult than what I bargined for. Playing online is about the only thing I enjoyed since it's a little easier to predict how people will respond. The computer A.I. responds terribly which in turn makes this game too difficult which in turn makes this game much less fun. I would be willing to try a sequel if they work on these issues. What they have is an excellent concept that needs to be much improved. I would advise anyone to rent this game first before plopping at least $50 on it.

It's a Next Gen game, just not a good one.

Full Auto 2 is the sequel to Full Auto which came out on the Xbox 360 on early 2005. NOw it came out on the PS3. Before you start getting exited about this game because it sounds like a Burnout with weapons, let me tell you something. THIS GAME IS NOT LIKE BURNOUT!!!! The physics, cars, environments, and enviromods are hardly related to Burnout. When you turn this game on, your first thoughts may be: It's OK, but i wouldn't buy it. The next time you play it, you may think, maybe i should buy it. It's an addictive game, because the more you play it, the more goodies you unlock. The game runs at 1080p with 7.1 Surround sound, so you can see and hear every crash, missle, bullet shot, and turbo boost in the highest production quality. The game has numerous sports, muscles, and a few exotic cars, as well as numerous SUVs. The game also supports several areas of a city, some with a few tracks, and some with only one. Each one also has at least one battle arena, where the goal is the same as a demolition derby. Weapons are plentyfull. You have a choice of machine guns, mislles,shotguns, smokescreens, a dozer plow, a lazer, a flamethrower, and even grenades. Too bad you can only put on 2 weapons at a time, and some cars, usually the faster ones, cant support all weapons.
The story tries to add a reason behind the game, but you'll only care about it by .01 percent at most.The games is pretty short, and replay value is small. Glitches are not terrible in the game, but occur from time to time. If you, like me, are looking for some PS3 games to last you until the end of the year when the great sequels come out (Mercs 2, Burnout 5, GTA5, Battlefield Bad Company), then this game is OK. Otherwise, save those 60 bucks.
