The premise of Twisted Metal is where it shines the most-it’s an arena battle where cars with guns work to destroy the rest. However, one notable drawback of the port is limited online play modes that the PSP originally offered. These added levels, headlined most notably by the Carnival of Darkness, which has players driving up down and all around on roller-coasters as they work to dismantle their opponents-are an amazing addition to the game.
Most all of that content is available on this Extra Twisted Edition with the nicely added documentary on the creation of the game, and levels from the unreleased sequel of the game-Twisted Metal: Black 2. The PSP version of the game was well-loved and contained with it a ton of features and modes the series was known for. Story aside, Twisted Metal brings all the action the series is known for as levels are explosive, destructible, adaptable, and full of high-octane fun. The winner, after destroying the competition (literally), gets their greatest wish granted-but it’s never that easy when it comes to Calypso as his wish-granting usually comes with some unintended consequences. It follows the same story of the original version as a slew of interesting drivers, all with their own specialized-for-destruction vehicles, are sent on multiple tirades in multiple battle arenas after Calypso invites them to a winner-take-all tournament. Twisted Metal Head-On Extra Twisted Edition (other than being a mouthful), is a ported PSP game that moved over to the PS2 with enhanced visuals and a load of extra content. Now, in the time of arcade driving games like Rocket League or Wreckfest, there’s a severe shortage of totally out-there prospects-and, to be honest, machine-gun toting vehicles driven by zany characters destroying national monuments and each other in an all-out war for Calypso’s one wish really scratches a specific itch. A relic of an exciting time in video game history where arcade style demolition derby driving could meet Death Race and be featured by a nightmare-inducing clown, Twisted Metal Head-On Extra Twisted Edition, is a bombastic entry in the beloved cult-classic series.
