DAY 55 / GAME 55
Twisted Metal 2
Twisted Metal 2 was the first game we received for the Playstation when we got the console for Christmas one year back in the nineties. Twisted Metal was and always has been a fairly unique game. Arena-style weaponized vehicle combat would probably be the best description. Pretty much a demolition derby full of murderers and ranged weapons.
Twisted Metal was totally ridiculous and yet at the same time, super fun. There isn't much quite like driving around in various locations in crazy vehicles tuned for mortal combat. Each driver with his or her own backstory, from a psychopath in a ice-cream truck, to a man condemned to live as a vehicle himself.
Twisted Metal was endless fun for my brother and I. It was split screen combat that allowed the two of us to brawl endlessly. The whole thing really was quirky. There was all kinds of hidden secret paths and easter eggs. A bunch of moves like jumping and firing in reverse required you to input key sequences similar to combos in a fighting game.
Twisted Metal 2 was far more polished that it's first. It had a decent single player story mode and a great split-screen multiplayer mode. It was dark, silly, fast, violent and fun. The basic arena combat is very easy to pick up and play. It's no wonder it has continued to receive sequels a few generations of consoles later. I totally missed the release of Twisted Metal X, but I think I'm going to try to get a hold of a copy. Looks like it's about 10$ on Amazon. In the meantime, I think I'll pick up my old copy and go through a few rounds for old time's sake.
