First time I played this game, I went into the tutorial and the controls completely baffled and annoyed me. I decided to press on and tried to play the campaign. I wasn't expecting Sweet Tooth, I had no idea who he was. The idea of playing as a serial killer after his own family legitimately scared me and I put down the game expecting never to play it again.

Six months later, I decided to try it again, just to see if I could handle it.

Hell yeah I could!

I beat the game after a little while and fell in love with it. All the characters, the gameplay, the speed, I loved all of it. Twisted Metal quickly grew into a series I'd want to keep playing. Unfortunately there hasn't been a new entry since this one. And with that TV show coming out that looks...like something, we'll never know if we'll be getting another title anytime soon.

You can't play online anymore, but go back and give this game's campaign a shot again. I agree that it doesn't have the same appeal as the older titles, but there's something really special about it.
