Twisted Metal is a franchise built on the idea of destruction derby – a variety of crazily-designed vehicles duking it out against each other with a variety of weapons.

During the time that it was active, Twisted Metal had a lot to offer.īut first, a brief overview. Those who were fans of explosions, building large LEGO structures and then breaking them down, and competitive destruction derby action will be able to relate.

But while the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series was meant to allow players to skateboard in a way that just further away from reality enough to be fantastic and fun, Twisted Metal is for the the types of kids who liked to build things and then break them – those who like to see destruction. It was both edgy and cartoonish, represented of the “cool” 90’s feeling that overlapped with cultural youth trends for boys such as the rise of skateboarding and the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. For those who grew up during the time of the first PlayStation, Twisted Metal was a franchise that very much captured the spirit of the times.
