Information about the game.
Twisted Metal 2 is the second game in the Twisted Metal series of car fighting games, and the last to be developed by SingleTrac, and is considered by most fans to be the pinnacle of the series.
The game takes place in a wide variety of vehicles, ranging from a man tied between two wheels to an ice cream truck, using a variety of weapons. The game takes place in eight different locations around the world, many of which feature destructible buildings and landmarks.
The plot—the least important element in games of this type—is simple: You compete in a global car-fighting game organized by a tough guy named Calypso. You choose your vehicle from a selection of heavily modified cars, including a flame-spewing Chevrolet, a spinning Formula 1, and a dangerous machine consisting of nothing more than two giant wheels (with you strapped into the middle). You then play through a series of arenas around the world, picking up weapons and trying to destroy other vehicles before they erupt.
Like other SingleTrac games (most notably JetMoto ), the gameplay in Twisted Metal 2 is extremely well designed. Each car has its own movement, and the game follows a logical but completely unrealistic physics model that allows you to turn corners at a moment’s notice and fly 100 feet in the air. The weapons are fairly standard by comparison: guided missiles, ballistic missiles, bouncing bombs, mines, napalm, and much more. The environments are also extremely well designed. For example, the Paris level features a destructible Eiffel Tower as well as many priceless works of art in the Louvre; the Antarctica level crumbles piece by piece until all that remains is a tiny ice island; and the incredibly massive Hong Kong level contains a subway system (complete with trains that come and go on schedule) and one of the biggest and most challenging bosses you’ll ever see.
There are also several multiplayer game modes to choose from, including a two-player co-op mode that allows you and a friend to play against computer-controlled teams.
With its excellent levels, exciting moves, and unrealistic but fun physics, Twisted Metal 2 is definitely worth a try for anyone who enjoys games like Quarantine , Death Drome , or Rocket Jockey . Thanks a lot, it’s a great game!
