On the plus side, there are some large scale boss battles that make a pleasant change, so that’s something. Stripped of their stories, these so-called campaigns are merely set matches played in a row, with a bit of waffle before each one. You have to play through them in order too, starting with Sweet Tooth, before moving on to Mr Grimm and Doll Face. The effect is cool enough, and the stories as dark as to be expected with the series, but it’s a shame there’s only three of these miniscule stories to go at. With excellent levels, furious action, and unrealistic but fun physics, Twisted Metal 2 is definitely worth a look for anyone who enjoys games like Quarantine, Death Drome, or Rocket Jockey.The stories themselves are okay, presented in a grindhouse-style manner, mixing live action with CG.
There are also a few multiplayer modes to choose from, including a two-player co-operative mode that allows you and a friend to go against computer-controlled teams. The Paris level, for example, features a destructible Eiffel Tower in addition to several priceless works of art in the Louvre the Antarctica level collapses piece by piece until one small glacier island is left the incredibly large Hong Kong level contains a subway (complete with trains coming and going on schedule) and one of the biggest and most difficult bosses you will ever see. The environments are also very well-designed. The weapons in comparison are quite standard: dumbfire and homing missiles, ricochet bombs, mines, napalm, and many more.
Each car has its own special move, and the game obeys a logical yet totally unrealistic physics model that allows you to turn on a dime and go flying 100 feet in the air. Like other SingleTrac games (most notably JetMoto), the gameplay in Twisted Metal 2 is very well designed. You then play through a series of arena throughout the world, picking up weapons and trying to kill other vehicles before you are toast. You pick your vehicle from an array of heavily-modified cars, including a flamethrowing Chevette, a spinning F1, to a dangerous contraption that consists of nothing more than two monster wheels (with you strapped in the middle). The plot - the least important element in games of this kind - is simple: you are competing in a worldwide car combat game staged by the a powerful man named Calypso. The action takes place in 8 different locales around the world, many featuring destructible buildings and landmarks. The second in the Twisted Metal series of car combat games, and the last to be developed by SingleTrac, Twisted Metal 2 is considered by most of its fans to be the pinnacle of the series.Ĭombat takes place between a wide array of vehicles ranging from a man strapped between two wheels to an ice cream truck, using an eclectic arrangement of weaponry.
