Twisted Metal World Tour
Create A Pokemon Hack Roms on this page. Twisted Metal 2 (known as Twisted Metal: World Tour in Europe and Twisted Metal EX in Japan) is the second and most successful game in the vehicular combat series, Twisted Metal. Ohmforce Ohmicide Mac Keygen Generator. It was developed by the game studio SingleTrac, published by Sony, and released in 1996 for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Luckily for us Single Trac wasn’t put in enough of a bad mood with the luke warm reception of its Twisted Metal game last year. A largely underrated title, Twisted.
Recently I’ve had the sudden urge to fire up a Twisted Metal game and blow shit up. Before I discovered Grand Theft Auto, Twisted Metal was my action franchise of choice. Twisted Metal has always been a multiplayer focused series but I’ve always found enjoyment in it’s single player content. Over the weekend I played several of the games just to fulfill the urge. Just some deathmatches. So I decided to write up this article listing the Twisted Metal games, best to worst. Twisted Metal 2 Arguably the best game in the series.
It was a much more refined experience compared to the first entry. The original Twisted Metal took place in Los Angeles but Twisted Metal 2 has you destroying the world from New York City to Hong Kong among other locations. It had comic book styled cutscenes (with voice acting), interesting characters and better visuals. Twisted Metal 2 also introduced the “deathmatch” mode to the series which meant no longer were players restricted to the tournament. Even if you had no one to play with you could set up a deathmatch in an arena of your choosing against bots which I would spend hours doing in my youth.
Twisted Metal 2 was also released on PC but was inferior to the PSX version. The PC version is quite rare but if you’re a collector and can find a copy I suggest you get it since you may never find it again.
At release it was horribly marketed so most people didn’t even know it existed. This was also the last game to be developed by SingleTrac. Twisted Metal III Hardened Twisted Metal fans will probably want to kill me for even mentioning this game in the same list as “real” Twisted Metal games but this was the first Twisted Metal game I ever played. I enjoyed it back then and I enjoy it now.
It was the first game in the series to be developed by 989 Studios instead of SingleTrac. The formula here didn’t change much since Twisted Metal 2. You had the tournament where you choose one of twelve vehicles and compete in the contest, deathmatch was back, and once again you could travel the world blowing shit up but in different locations then that of Twisted Metal 2. The biggest difference would be the interesting physics added to the game. Vehicles could now be pushed around and flip over. From what I’ve researched most players seem to hate this addition but as a kid I didn’t care and enjoyed what I played.
I also feel the AI is superior to any of the Twisted Metal games developed by the original team. I remember the AI would specifically go for health when they were low and they would attack each other instead of just you. If you play Twisted Metal 2 and even the latest game you will notice most of the AI drivers will just drive around aimlessly, maybe fire their machine guns once or twice, and never really go after each other but the moment you drive near them, they come after you. Twisted Metal: Head-On Originally released for the PSP this was eventually ported to the PS2 subtitled “Extra Twisted Edition”. If you got a new copy of the PS2 version it came with a code allowing you to download the soundtrack containing songs from all games in the series minus III and 4. Pretty awesome.
I always saw this game as Twisted Metal 2 HD and that’s not a bad thing. All the classic characters returned with different storylines, deathmatch was back, and the PSP version included online multiplayer. The PS2 version included the beta version of the Twisted Metal: Black sequel known as Twisted Metal Black 2: Harbor City, the cut live-action cutscenes from the first Twisted Metal game, and some concept art. Not a bad package. Sweet Tour allowed the player to explore a level as Needles Kane, on foot, and learn interesting facts straight from the developers. This mode was clearly designed for fans of the series which is really cool but I think I’d rather navigate a menu instead of using the clunky on-foot mechanics.
