a5c7b9f00b On Christmas Eve of 2005, demonic Calypso is organizing his tenth annual Twisted Metal car combat deathmatch contest on the streets of L.A. Whoever wins gets to make one wish and Calypso has to grant it, but usually with a sinister twist. Those are the words that best sum this up – it&#39;s got an attitude and gives a big F-you to all the other racing/destruction games out there. It&#39;s raw, energetic and blows up everything in sight.<br/><br/>In my opinion the sequel is actually better (the first sequel, that is) but this is still a great game and one of the first available for the Playstation when it came out… a decade ago! The years have really flown by.<br/><br/>Chances are if you were around back in &#39;95 when this was released, you played it. It was the &quot;Halo&quot; or &quot;GTA&quot; of its day (almost, anyway) and has spawned a countless series of sequels, most of which aren&#39;tgood (some of which… are).<br/><br/>&quot;Twisted Metal&quot; is vicious and fun – if your friend owns an original Playstation, chances are he owns this too; play it. Wow. Its been ten years since this masterpiece was released onto the original PSX. Even though most twisted metal fans say that tm2 and black were better, this game is still a dirty pleasure of mine and my all time favorite, ever since I first played it back in 95&#39;.<br/><br/>Twisted Metal 1 takes place in 2005 on Christmas Eve in the crime-filled streets of L.A. A mysterious and powerful gang lord, the mighty Calypso, announces that it is time for the legendary Twisted Metal Contest to begin. To find contestants for his demolition-derby of death, he sends out e-mail invitations, which contain a simple request: &quot;Will You Drive?&quot; The winner of his contest is also granted anything his/her heart desires.<br/><br/>The contest takes place throughout the city of L.A.; from the freeways, to the suburbs, and even a final battle on the top of the L.A. skyscrapers. Your roster of available cars range from a dune buggy, to a maniac ice cream truck. This isn&#39;t your regular racing game; your given the freedom to go anywhere you want when you want, blowing away the competition with the available weapon power-ups, like homing missiles and mines. Pedestrians are a free lunch for your bumperwell.<br/><br/>This game definitely should be included in any TM-fans game library. This is the game that defined car combat and shouldn&#39;t be forgotten even after the fantastic Twisted Metal Head-On ships on the PSP.
