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. There is also a choice of Story Mode, where you have to succeed in the tournament when you finally face the main boss - the legendary ice cream truck Sweet Tooth, and its owner - a crazy clown named Needles Kane.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. The goal of the game is, of course, to stay last alive, ie 'Last man standing'.

Most arenas represent well-known cities such as New York, Paris or Moscow. There is a wide range of vehicles to choose from with different characteristics, each with one unique weapon at its disposal. The arenas are small enough and the encounter of opponents is aimed at the effective and complete destruction of the enemy. However, the Twisted Metal series differs from Carmageddon in one atmospheric function - it is much closer to Deathmatch than any other similar game.

The essence is the same - a large (or not), a tooth-armed car, an arena and a number of contenders for the main prize. While the whole world enthusiastically knocked down pedestrians in Carmageddon, somewhere in the background, the very original and cute Twisted Metal project disappeared, but it absolutely deserved attention.
