I’ve been a huge Twisted Metal fan since it’s initial release more than over 15 years ago. Since it’s inception on the Playstation platform, Twisted Metal has been a powerhouse and in my mind an overlooked game. Twisted Metal Black for PS2 is, in my opinion, where Sony failed at attempting to optimize a state of the art graphics into traditional game play. Twisted Metal Black never felt like the classic motor vehicle shooter: the gameplay / combat mechanics were too rigid and the controls were completely unrealistic.
With the creation of TM Nuke, Sony has attempted to rejuvenate this original PS game, and they’ve done a great job. Now with aerial combat, and more complex combat including customizable cars and weapons. The overall gameplay looks awesome, and I’m excited to see this game launch in 2011.
