[edit] Overview
In concept, Twisted Metal is a demolition derby which permits the usage of ballistic projectiles. Players choose a vehicle and an arena—or a series of arenas in the story mode—to engage in battle with opposing drivers. A variety of weapons, ranging from missiles to traps, are obtainable by pick-ups scattered throughout the stage; as well as certain "repair stations" that regenerate player's health. The objective of the game is to be the last one standing.
The game's plot centers around a man named Calypso, the host of a vehicular combat tournament called Twisted Metal. He promises to grant the winner of the tournament anything he or she desires, without any limit of availability or even reality. The game's story takes place on Christmas Eve, 2005, during the 10th annual running of Twisted Metal taking place in Los Angeles.
[edit] Characters
The game counts with a total of 13 selectable vehicles. Each vehicle has its own set of stats, including armor/resistance, speed/handling and power, as well as a unique Special Attack.
[edit] Reception
Twisted Metal won several awards from Electronic Gaming Monthly's 1995 video game awards, including Best Sound Effects, Best PlayStation Game, and Game of the Year, narrowly beating out Chrono Trigger for the latter award.[1]
