Twisted Metal 2
PlayStation Review from the Net
This is a great game. It has everything that the first one needed. There are 8 levels and 12 cars plus 2 secret ones. the 2 secret ones are Sweet Tooth and Minion. I think this game should be one of the best games this year. Graphics 9.8 The graphics are a lot better than the first one. It has some of the best graphics I've ever seen in a game. The backgrounds are amazing. The Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower look so real. There are now interactive backgrounds. you can blow up the Eiffel Tower and then you can drive accross to get to a secret place where you've never been before. The cars are very detailed. You can notice the damage to the cars. Gameplay 10 It has the best gameplay I've ever seeen in a game. The two player mode is the funnest. In the two player mode you can play a co-op tournament(you and a friend against the computer. Make sure you don't blow each other up or you'll have to start over) or a two player challenge(In some levels it has the top and bottom split screen and in the other levels it has the split screeen on each side).In one player mode you can play a tournament that has 8 levels or a challenge match where you select the background and the cars you want to battle against. There are now combo moves. You can use the freeze and then start blowing them up while there frozen. The secret moves are usually three button pushes or more. There are three in the instruction book. Sound It has great music. The music is appropriatefor each level. The sound effects are amazing. The weapons sound so real. When you blow up something the sound is amazing. It sounds like a real explosion. Control 9 It's sort of hard to control your car. If you use a fast car you can loose control of your car. Funfactor 10 This is the funnest game I have ever palyed. The two player mode is a blast. You can play a co-op tournament. The litttle things in the game like the interactive backgrounds and the people that get in the way. There are nine different kind of people. Skateboarder, Twisted Groupie, Arctic hunter, Swimmer, Santa Claus, Business man, Mime, Back Alley Chef, and an artist. There are also cars in the street that you can run over. you can just about blow up everything in this game. Overall 10 The greatest and the funnest game ever. I think everyone one would like this game. My friend didn't like the first one but when he played this one he coulnd't quit playing it. It is one of his favorite games now. There are a lot of unny things in Twisted Metal 2 like when the dune buggie car(Grasshopper) jumps he scremas yehaw. This game has a lot of replay value. It is a very challenging game. Especially on hard. I would give the preplay value a 10. All the secrets in this game will make it last for a long time. This game is a must buy. The twelve character are Roadkill(a car that has duns on it), Twister(Racecar), Axel(guy with two tires on his arms), Mr. Slam(bulldozer), Shadow(a hearst car), Hammerhead(Monster Truck), Outlaw 2(cop car), Warthog(Tank), Mr. Grimm(motorcycle), Grasshopper(a dune buggie), Thumper(a hupty car), and Spectre(A car with guns on it). The eight levels are Los Angeles, Moscow, Paris, Amazonia, New York, Antarctica, Holland, and Hog Kong. hon Kong is the last level where you fight the boss. I think his name is Scream. Twisted Metal was my favorite game but now this one is. It's alot better than the first one. Brad
