"Twisted Metal 2 is one of the greatest videogames to ever grace the original PlayStation, and that's an undeniable scientific fact. Though my personal relationship with the series has been a spotty affair, my love for TM2's inimitable blend of sadistic humor and car-on-car violence has carved a bloody hole in my heart, one that's remained gaping for years.
A new Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3 has been a long time coming, and arrives not a moment too soon. However, while it remains at heart a classic example of vehicular battery, its misinformed attempts at modernization cause a little concern.
The latest chapter in the series, from Eat Sleep Play, indicates that some franchises really ought to stick to what they know."
Everyone knows Twisted Metal... I mean literally everyone! Whether it is simply a childhood classic for you, or one of the worst, mind-corrupting disgraces to entertainment you can think of, you've at least heard of this iconic title.

All I ask for is a new Twisted Metal that allows flat screen & PSVR2 cross play that also supports a wheel.
Would be heaven.
They need to get the enemy AI balance right. Thats what made 2 the best in the series. Black was abysmal in that dept.
You don't. Do sequels. If you've gotta reboot, might as well do a new IP. God of War is the only game I can say that did a successful reboot
The rumours were legit. The Twisted Metal franchise is coming back, Sony
officially announced at CES 2022.
I hope it follows the gameplay style of hardware rivals, seriously that game was awesome to play
Didn't the online just get turned on this morning? How can they have played it anywhere near enough to make a judgment yet? If I'm wrong, please correct me: I may have misinterpreted IGN's comments about not releasing a review until the servers go online, or that post may have been older than I realized or something.
I wonder if everyone is going to review it like Battlefield 3?
Weak story/Good Online though 7/10
Even though the game is truly for online.
I like Jim, but this score is bullcrap. This game is the sickest Twisted Metal ever made. Easisly an 8 or above out of 10. Jim, you just lost some respect from me buddy. You're brutally honest, and your taste for games is obviously brutally sucky.
A 7 from Jim Sterling on PS3 exclusives, that's quite high for his standards. So its a good buy to those people buying it solely on reviews.
Jim Sterling is the man no matter what
