The Metal is Twisted and on the PSP

Posted on Oct 13, 2008 01:06:37 PM

Undoubtedly the Twisted Metal series has played a great role in promoting the Sony PlayStation’s success. If we revert to 2001, that time the original car classic combat was the first classic title on the PlayStation. This renowned series has gone through several ups and downs, but it still manages to glorify the PlayStation Portable with its latest addition Twisted Metal: Head On.

None of its charm and bite has been lost during the past years, as the game appears as fresh as ever. The title includes great action packed race courses, colorful and vibrant characters, a fantastic presentation and WiFi multiplayer action to make it a clear PSP success story. If you’ve previous versions, then you’ll find this one has a very similar feel to its predecessors.

In some ways, this demolition, destroy everything title actually has more in common with first person shooters than it does with other driving games. As a player you’ll get access to an ample amount of weapons, including machine guns, missiles, bombs, mines, napalm–you name it. More than 15 different vehicles are available in Twisted Metal Head On (PSP), and each contains distinct attributes for handling, top speed, armor, etc. and unique special attacks. You’ll even get a bulldozer from Mr. Slam that assists you in picking up and throwing the vehicles like nothing. The game involves all those tensed and exciting moments such as tearing your way through bumpy environments, or running over health, and weapons power ups while keeping an eye on radar for nearby opponents. Often, a sharp 180 degree turn becomes indispensable and for that you’ve got a nitro booster together with a handy emergency brake.

The exaggerated environments are actually based on existing real world locations and contain plenty of secret nooks and employable crannies. Responsive controls are always essential for an excellent driving experience, and fortunately this game delivers. Ultimately the demolition title does a great job of carrying on the series legacy and is a must-have for the PSP.

Time to get Twisted on your PSP

Posted on Jul 24, 2008 01:01:20 PM

Twisted Metal 2, the second installment in the Twisted Metal series, is a combat game with a heavy involvement of vehicles. The first game was declared a hit by critics and audiences, the developers were practically forced to launch a sequel. Since its release, the game has achieved cult status.

The game involves heavy armory and action, including ballistic projectiles. The gamer has to choose a vehicle and an arena out of the many arenas available in the story mode to battle enemy drivers. A lot of weapons can be added to the armory as they are scattered all over the stages. The main aim of the gamer is to be the last survivor.

The story of the game is a mirror image of its predecessor. The game begins with Calypso, a man who hosts Twisted Metal, a game based on vehicle combat. The winner of the tournament is slated to get anything that he/she desires in the form of a prize. A catchphrase has been added to the game which adds some mystery to it as the computer can be often heard saying “Be careful what you wish for”. Unlike the first title Twisted Metal Head On, where Los Angeles was used as the background location, in the sequel areas all over the world are used.

The tracks have been designed in a very rough manner to give the game a very macho look, with many Hummer type vehicles. Moreover, the cars have a lot of artillery attached with them in the form of guns and missiles.

The enhanced graphics used in the game make it look spectacular and the attacks also seem to be very impressive. Repair stations used in the earlier version have been replaced by health pick ups which play a vital role in restoring a limited amount of health.

All the action loving maniacs cannot afford to miss out on this one and are guaranteed of getting their money’s worth back.
