Retro Replay: Twisted Metal III – Victory Point

VP Writes: In my high school days I spent more hours in a friend’s basement listening to Metallica and death-battling in Twisted Metal 2 than I care to remember. The title was my gaming life for a while, so needless to say, I was a little excited when the new one was released. Fittingly, the next installment in the vehicular combat series featuring the demonic tournament released on October 31st, Halloween of 1998 with much anticipation. What I didn’t realize when I purchased Twisted Metal III though, was that it was the first game in the series not by SingleTrac, but by a new developer, 989 Studios, and was going to cause a lot of mixed emotions, not just then, but now as well.
