A successor in every way, Twisted Metal 2 improves upon the 1995 foundation in every way! Smoother controls, more characters, and bigger stages to demolish your vehicular foes!
This is what many consider the peak of the franchise! I don't necessarily agree, but it's nice seeing a game so cherished, despite not being the best-looking game on the console, or even the smoothest. Controlling the vehicles can still be a bit cumbersome at times, and the enemy AI can be simply unrelenting (and I'm pretty sure their weapon count is meaningless whenever they decide they don't want you to win). Still, it can be a fun throwback to play, especially with a friend! The stories themselves are presented nicely, the motion comic animation was serviceable (and a pretty new style, if I'm not mistaken) and the twists we see in each driver's fate was a delight the first time around!
