Current purpose: Win the match and have my want granted
Play it on: The PlayStation Plus Classics catalog
This previous week, Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2 got here to the PlayStation Plus Classics catalog. The timing is curiously handy, contemplating a Peacock TV collection based mostly on the long-dormant vehicular fight franchise is about to debut. I believe that collection seems horrible and I’ve lower than little interest in watching it. However, I additionally assume that Twisted Metal 2 is among the greatest video games of all time, so if company cross-promotional synergy is what it takes to as soon as once more have this explosive, gleefully chaotic recreation be available to me on a console, effectively, I’ll take it.
It’s been effectively over 20 years since I actually performed the sport, so I’m wanting ahead to refamiliarizing myself with its memorable and diversified solid of drivers, its cacophonous soundscape, and its blistering motion. I’m additionally desirous to as soon as once more expertise the outrageous destruction you may wreak on its levels. (I don’t keep in mind how to destroy the Eiffel Tower within the Paris stage, however I keep in mind that you could.) I’ll in all probability play by way of your complete factor with just a few completely different characters to see just a few endings play out. See, in these video games, the match is run by a mysterious determine named Calypso, who guarantees to grant the winner a single want. When he does so, nonetheless, there’s at all times one thing a little bit (you guessed it!) twisted about it, and it’s darkly humorous seeing how issues play out for every driver. I guess the writing for these endings is extra intelligent than something we’ll see within the Peacock collection.
Wait a second! What if I wanted so laborious for Twisted Metal 2 to return again that Calypso granted my want however deemed that it may solely occur if we additionally bought a horrible live-action collection? Oh god, no! What have I carried out?!—Carolyn Petit
