Taking a PSP game and porting it over to the PS2 is a dicey proposition. But when that port is being handled by the developers at David Jaffe's new studio, Eat, Sleep, Play, there's reason to hope for the best. And guess what: Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition is pretty good. Okay, the graphics aren't that great butconsidering its budget minded price, it's not a bad deal. So come along as GamePro explore the demented world of vehicular homicide with their review of this PS2 port.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are a few small tweaks that could've made the experience as a whole even more impressive and although it's a little late in the day for any changes to be made in this department, I thought I would write an article to examine the things that hold back the Vita from being a mind-blowing portable PlayStation legacy system."
I agree it did damage adoption of the system. I read an article that they chose a proprietary format for storage to limit / reduce software piracy. In the long run though it would seem their choice did far more harm than good. I still use my Vita from time to time but not as much as I would have liked.
My main gripe was the fact that save game files were tied to the application instsll meaning if you uninstall you lose your saves excluding psp and ps4 titles
Memory cards didn't drop to a respectable price.
1 account per memory card.
Save files were locked to the apps, delete the app & your save file goes, also makes backing up saves a pain.
Worse is that some of your saves won't load if you no longer have DLC that was in the save previously.
No way to back up trophies offline, to transfer to the offline storage of another Vita.
It still has great games though & portability is very nice.
Twisted Metal aimed to entertain, and it did that far more often than not – even if that was occasionally executed with some of the worst acting this side of a Jill Sandwich.
The ps1 games were the best. I would play split screen with my brother all the time. We would tape a big piece of cardboard to the tv so we couldn't look at each other's screen. So much fun.
The last one just wasn't as fun as the old ones not sure why.
Nope, I enjoyed them all, even TM3 and 4. Forget which one of those had a soundtrack of Entirely Rob Zombie, but that one rocked.
Twisted Metal 3 made by 989 studios. I like those one too but they were much less quality. My favorite is TM2 and TM Black then TM1 TMPS3 and TM3 and TM4
No your not the only one that enjoyed all twisted metal, waiting for twisted metal game for PS4

2 was the best: it was our "new year's eve" game two years in a row, that's saying something.
3 and 4 were very blah, thanks to the split off of SingleTrac. I much prefer their other two games that utilized the same engine. Rogue Trip was interesting, adding even more dark humor. And whilst not given as much respect, I loved the slow pacing and capture-the-flag attitude of Critical Depth.
GameZone's David Sanchez goes back and takes Twisted Metal: Head-On for a ride. Does this car combat title, which was previously available on the PSP and PlayStation 2, withstand the test of time?
As much as I like darker Twisted Metal games, I really dig the more lighthearted style of Head-On.
This twisted metal is great fun online and locally. My biggest gripe is the connectivity issues. SERIOUSLY FIX THIS SH!T.
Yeah, I really dig the newest Twisted Metal. The online issues are a pain, but when you get an online game going, it's a helluva lot of fun!
