IMO, the greatest car-combat game series in the gaming industry. This game with it's overall feeling, is insane, demented, dark, and brutal. Not to mention, it's ending cut-scenes for the winning driver is combined with endless black humor.

The story of each game is simple: Each driver in the game competes in the Twisted Metal tournament for the prize of one wish, granted by the creator of Twisted Metal, Calypso; a crazed, senile man that is driven on black humor and sarcasm. The process of gameplay is simple, also: Kill every single other competitor until you are the last one standing.

Every driver is insane and delusional, of course. They will stop at nothing to crush their opponents for that one wish that they have killed so much for (and that one wish that gets unexpectingly turned upside down!). Every given competitor has their own stats and special attacks. Not to mention, the cars are able to do unique attacks that are simply done by doing a combination with the D-Pad, but they require energy, with will depelete after using a unique attack or ability. The energy bar will moderately regenerate. These unique attacks include: Freeze Missles, Mines, Jump, Shield, Rear Attacks, and many more (depending on which Twisted Metal game).

There are plenty of demented drivers to choose from, ranging from Twisted Metal originals such as:

Axel
Mr. Slam
Grasshopper
Minion
Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal's signature character)
Roadkill
Yellowjacket
Thumper
Crimson Fury
Outlaw
Mr. Grimm
Warthog
Hammerhead

And many more, ranging from different Twisted Metal games.
