Personally this game is more balanced than Twisted Metal 1 & 2 ever was and I'm neither a Gen X or a Millennial that was hivemind upset at this game instinctively for whatever reason. the maps leave something to be desired whether its gimmick, aesthetically, or just not being big enough to feel truly varied apart for one another (I'm pretty sure most of them are all square maps if I remember correctly). the gameplay itself is pretty solid even if it has been toned down with the ESRB rating. Calypso is a dickhead for pushing Axel in his wheelchair down a hill as a form of inviting him to the competition.
