Twisted Metal 2 is my favourite game of all time! Probably have 10,000 hours offline alone. It’s the best in the series imo. I love the characters, levels music and I just love the physics since they feel really aggressive when you hit someone and ram into them. People say Black is the best but it’s too dark and honestly too hard at times because the game is a bit too fast. I do like Black now but it’s a game where you need months of practice.
As a kid, TM2’s Dark Tooth gave me a few nightmares. Something about a flaming, floating head stalking me and wanting to kill me made my subconscious imagination go haywire. Probably not the best game to play at 5-6 years old xD
Congratulations on reaching 1,25K subscribers (or 1,28K now), i've only found about your channel a little time ago, but i was impressed by the quality of the videos that you make, there are bigger channels that doesn't go to all the effort like you do, you definitely deserve more subscribers and people watching, keep the good work man. Also, I know is not a very know game like NFS, Tony Hawk and the likes, but I think it would be interesting tackling the Spy vs Spy game from the PS2, it doesn't seem like that are too many people that made a review or retrospective on this game, it would be interesting seem one like the ones that you do.
Thank you so much! It really means a lot and I'm really glad you liked the videos! Oh, and I'll definitely check it out, I think I've seen a few glimpses of it, but definitely never touched it, so that could be cool!
@@BlooTeg You're welcome, you clearly deserve even more considering the effort that you put, and I'm sure you'll get it sooner or later, just keep doing what you do best. But speaking of Spy vs Spy, it is a game that if you can play with someone, I definitely recommending checking out the multiplayer, it was really fun playing with a friend when i did as a kid, it was the highlight of the game in my opinion.
Seems like Part 1 and 2 have a limited graphics engine and the gameplay was much better. Part 3 and 4 had more complex graphics and they didnt make the games as playable figures since they were a different code team
Twisted Metal 1 had better aesthetics (not design quality) and much better character balance. Too many of the TM2 characters were gimmicky and one trick ponies. TM2 had character problems in general but the improved commands and nostalgia (and the fact many have not played 1) have people overvaluing 2
on the ps1 version of tm2 I played as a kid you had to unlock sweetooth with a cheat code. He wasent playable from the start. so maybe thats why dark tooth says you killed my boy in the games storyline lol!!
This probably sounds insane, but one of the reasons I love 2 so much entirely comes down to Calypso's design and voice. In my opinion, this is where his character peaked, with the suave, demonic businessman aesthetic with just a hint of childish whimsy. Obviously, I can respect games like Head On and Black for taking the character in new directions and not rehashing what worked before, but 2 is just my absolute favourite interpretation of him.
Going through the back catalogue. Twisted Metal all the way to Twisted Metal Black were pretty good. I even enjoyed 4. Lol. Great vids all around. If you liked this could you PLEASE do Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense. They're kinda the counter point to Twisted Metal, BUT they were Banger from back in the day. Thanks again.
idk man, i love the music in TM 2 ( and also 1 ), LA, Moscow, even Amazonia it matched the map perfectly and minion's fight, New York has a constant sense of urgency cuz u gone die, Holland is AMAZING fun catchy and hectic for the map, hong kong and dark tooth both awesome. but anyways, been loving the twisted metal vids!
You should try Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012. It was made by Singletrac, the creators of the first 2 Twisted metal games, so it plays similarly. Another game also by Singletrac is Critical Depth, like Twisted Metal but with submarines.
People said Critical Depth was very interesting but I'm not sure I'm gonna like it for instantly not being a fan of water games, but I can definitely try those out!
Nice video. The first two are definitely some of the best. (Have you tried Rogue Trip, by the same developers as 1/2?) My only complaint is that you're reviewing the "graphics" of games you're not actually playing. These butchered, stretched-out, upscaled, emulated abominations may arguably _look_ prettier, but it is far from an authentic representation of the games as we played them.
You're correct, I'll try to disclose that but I recommend you ignore that part haha the only way I can review the graphics as they were originally is by getting a CRT and a PS1, which is pretty hard to do here these days; but it it helps in any way, I changed the internal resolution, they're not just upscaled or stretched, I used a widescreen hack too so it actually renders more than the original 4:3! Oh, and people told me about Rogue Trip, it's the same engine as 2 right? That's very interesting!
【Fun fact】 【TM 1】 1.) The Minion in TM 1 is being driven by a dangerous gang called "The Apocalypse 9" (there is a deleted cutscene about them.. being inside the Tank ) So no it's not the same driver. Not a demon like in TM 2 Minion. Apparently The Apocalypse 9 gang stole the Government Top Secret tank being developed.. probably they btoke in a top secret base.. like how CJ did in GTA SA.. either way. Yeah. 2.) The Tank is called "The XJ 39" it was developed by the Government and it's a Top Secret product.. rumors say that this tank can maneuver better and even drive it with the Driver's mind.. sounds amazing but it was stolen by a dangerous gang.. "The Apocalypse 9" they plan to attack around and join The Twisted Metal tournament.. (I know this because of another Deleted Cutscene.) 【TM2】 3.) There's a comic book of Twisted Metal 2.. showing Calypso's past. ig. I think you can only get the comic only in a Sony Event which has passed.. 4.) Dark Tooth is driven by Charlie Kane in this one I think. (I'll show you these clips & stuff in Discord. well I can send a link here but like I don't want RUclips to hide my comment over a link or something)
Great video! I feel like the first one's endings are the most interesting, particularly the cut FMV ones. The sequels on the PS1 were mostly made by different developers, so they will have an entirely different approach. There is Head-On for PS2/PSP that is very similar to PS2, though.
I have this weird feeling where I'm not sure if I'm glad they were cut or not, because it definitely ads to the eerie feeling to have the "lost endings" to the characters haha I'll definitely check out more of it!
Twisted Metal 1, 2, Black and Head On are phenomenal! I'm sure the PS3 Twisted Metal is great as well, but it completely lacks the characters with that faction stuff which is probably while it was subpar.
Fun fact: I have only played Black, but saw a LOT of gameplay from the other entries. (I watched longplays from YT) I like this one, it started a franchise and liked the text endings.
As you know Marcus Kane is Sweet Tooth, you see hitting his head causes personality switches In the original ending of Charlie Kane, the driver of Yellow Jacket, he finds out he killed his own son, but that was false, he reverted to Marcus. Calypso gave him an immortality potion but it cost Charlie Kane his sanity. Charlie Kane: sounds good to me baby!
Just subscribed to you yesterday and I’m loving your content! Finally a gaming channel that us millennial/elder millennials can relate with. I miss these games. I think I put the most hours into Twisted Metal 2 and Small Brawl compared to the rest of them.
The Twisted Metal 1 the winner of the 2005 contest is Outlaw and the Twisted Metal 2 Dark Tooth driver Charlie Kane discover the driver of Sweet Tooth(Needles Kane) is your son(or an alter ego of Markus Kane driver of the Roadkill)
Played this when it came out , import with a chipped Xbox and have to say although better than some PS1 import games - it was still dire 😅 Great to see it again though 💪
Your channel is seriously underrated, you deserve thousands of more subs for the work you do for your videos, pretty sure you know about ssx games, I'd love to hear you give your opinion on them and how they've aged:)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it and honestly... I've only played SSX On Tour (a lot) and completely ignored Tricky/3... That's definitely going on my "I've finally played" list!
@@BlooTeg SSX 3 is a fucking masterpiece of snowboarding games, that hasn't been topped to this day. On Tour was an okay sequel. 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, but still a good time nonetheless. Waiting for your reviews on those.
Your videos are insanely good; even tough you’re just starting out you fall no short of channels with a few hundred thousand subs. When it comes to a topic suggestion: would you mind looking into WipEout series? It is definitely unique and dead for some time, should fit right in with other ones you’ve reviewed.
Love your channel! I miss authentic content thats why I subbed. I remember playing demos of twisted metal back in early 2000s. Lastly congrats on the growth and I wish you the best.
@@BlooTeg Yeah, they're making it for peacock, with the cast of Anthony Mackie, Will Arnet, Thomas Haden Church and Samoa Joe is going to play Sweet Tooth
Twisted metal 3 is where its truly at. Probably my favorite of the series. Next game you should do is road rash. A persobal favorite of mine...and sadly havent seen since ps1. Motorstorm was probably the closest thing to it in my opinion..but still...a great idea that just disappeared if you ask me.
@@BlooTeg motorstorm pacific rift is probably one of my favorite ps3 games of all time right next to metal gear solid: gotp. Ill be waiting for the road rash nostalgia!
Didn't finish the video yet, but thought I could share that Twisted Metal 1 was supposed to have video endings for each character, you can even find them on RUclips! The creator had to cut them off because they had semi-naked Woman on them, and I think the publisher didn't agree with this for religious reasons or something like that. Edit: Reached the part where you mention it! Twisted Metal 1 would be way better with the videos, even if most/all of them are quite cheesy as you said. Part of the charm I guess.
I played TM2 A FUCKING LOT back when I was a kid. Although the copy I had lacked any cutscenes or music for some bizzare reason. Playing it with smooth 60 fps on PC was a blast. I usually picked 'Outlaw 2' and Hong Kong and just sat there for hours and hours. Playing it in splitscreen 2 Players mode with my sister was an even better experience. To this day I can still hear that noise from 'Mr. Slam's fucking bulldozer when he picks you up. It's there in the back of my head haunting me xd
Through what lens were you reviewing these games? 2022 or 1995?? Because in 1995, this was a highly rated game. EGM gave scores of 9.0 and 9.5 out of 10, and other reviewers gave similar scores. But even then, the graphics weren’t exactly stellar but the style of play was similar to gaming culture back then. Instant pick up and play, sufficient variety and could be completed within a weekend. Clearly gaming culture has changed now and this game would only be acceptable as a 5 minute FTP mobile game now. To be clear. 1995 me, loved this game. 2022 me, bored.
You missed Head On having the original Live Action endings of this game. They were removed because of the bikini babes surrounded by Calypso. Christian companies were planning on boycotting the release of the game if they showed cleavage, as Hammerheads ending focuses on the T&A as they wished for Calypsos babes as their Original wish. Seriously David Jaffe was FURIOUS they had to cut the Live Action endings because of Women showing their bodies in black bikinis
I don't think I've ever actually played TM1. Played quite a bit if TM2, TM3, and TMB. I have played TM4, but I remember not really caring for it. What the series needs to do is go the Super Smash Ultimate route and just make a new game that has all of the characters and levels from the original games remade.
Yo you've gotta consider "tall box" PS1 games in context when you review them. I don't think you realize how early the first game was in the PSX's life, with the unfair comparison to Driver and whatnot... At the time, its textures weren't bad-they stood out because they looked sourced from photographs, kept a gritty and photorealistic color pallette, and were consistent in scale to the vehicles, which today we take for granted. And the size of that Suburbia map was mind-blowing, so big that it was honestly too big for PVP, which was a cool problem to have! But yes its framerate was choppy, and if it sounded cheap that might've been the terrible compression of the time, but overall it was all a big step up from Quarantine on 3DO!
Twisted Metal 2 may have had only 10 songs but that game famously filled the PS1 disc's capacity! I'm saddened you didn't cover the cheat codes that were hidden on textures in the maps (like when you napalm the Mona Lisa in the Louvre)! Also did you notice the collapsed section of the Eiffel Tower is a bridge to the rooftops? I loved TM2's gameplay and art style, and unlike the next two entries, its characters and bosses were likable and memorable. TM:Black really felt like a return to form. Thanks for covering these games! Protip - backwards freeze is key (at least in multiplayer it was)
Honestly I didn't even know it had cheat codes considering I try my best to go completely blind into it, but I've got so used to having to pay for everything in games that I didn't even think about that haha There's still a lot to learn for me but I really liked 2!
@@BlooTeg Haha yeah it's funny how micro transactions have changed games. Free sh*t is old school lol But yeah on the first map, the Soviet missile silo, there are billboards outside the fence, one will show a code when destroyed. In Paris, break in the door into the Louvre museum, napalm the Mona Lisa. In the gothic rooftops map, there's a code written on the ground somewhere down below, I think you have to fall off to see it. Those are just the ones I remember. There were also portals hidden inside destructible cover. The one in LAX was good one, takes you to a bunch of refills. The rooftops map was my favorite cuz of the hidden areas inside the buildings. Same with Hong Kong... Such a good game!
I recommend you check out Syphon Filter for PS1. And if you like exploring more underground games, there's the one that had the greatest impact on me in the fifth generation: RayCrisis
I used to love messing with the PS1 menus, I remember I had the Slim PS1 with the silver squares, and when I first saw the Fat PS1 menu I was blown away by the colors, WHY WASN'T MINE LIKE THAT?
If you love twisted metal you gotta also checkout its competitor the vigilante 8 games, 1 and 2 they are great! And personally I think better in some ways
The reason the live action scenes were cut was literally because of the women and how they were dressed. thats right a Christian priest felt alright with cars and people being blown up, they're fine with Calypso murdering everyone just for the hell of it, but women in bikinis? thats a no no from us. so David Jaffe had to scrap all the footage. even some of the endings were altered between the lost endings and the final release.
This was old school growing up the original twisted metal glad you reviewed it and I also have a question can you review fighting force and Fighting Force 2
The original roadkill *spoilers* He was murdered in his wish resulting being replaced with another character even though not all the worlds are the same in games.
I was playing twisted metal 2 on the steam deck & Def Jam Fight for new york. I was chilling in my backyard and drinking some RedBull and I just thought about twisted metal then Def jam came to my mind. Now I can play in 4k without any lag
Your journey will never be finished until you’ve reviewed every single video game that involves driving cars Can’t wait for the Big Rigs Over the Road Racing review
Holy moly, yeah subbed and bell- You're a goldmine for games of my childhood. TM4 and Small Brawl was where I was drawn into the series. Any chance you have played or want to cover Jak and Daxter, Crash Bash or Maximo for PS2?
Crash Bash is 100% in, and I never played Jak and Daxter or Maximo, so I'll check that out for sure! Also thank you, I won't rest until every game from everyone's childhood has been played. (Not a joke)
Play it on EPSXE and choose FAST OGL2 in Video Render section When you R in game u Should do some other settings then u can experience the smoothest texture quality possible
twisted metal 1 and 2. Ah yes, love those games as a kid. sadly never had twisted metal 1 until i got older and found it and purchased it. though i did get to play it when i went to my dads house cause his gf at the time kid had it. twisted metal 2 i did own when i was kid and ya. i constantly played it lol that and a lot of others. i lived way out way out in the country so it was either play in the woods by myself basically (or with my brother(s)) as there was literally no one around us. so i spent a lot of time playing video games lol twisted metal 2 is my fav in the series. i do have a soft spot for almost all of them, though i never did play small brawl nor did i play twisted metal 2012 though i did purchase it day one and had it factory sealed for the longest time before i just sold it.. i still own the strat guide for it. my one brother bought it and told me about like the 3 characters and you choose cars.... and i just well, im not opening that and playing it.. i waited years to play like another twisted metal 1,2,3,4/black and i knew 2012 was not that.... amazing vid. thanks for the work you put into this in. it was very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you so much and thanks for taking your time to write the comment, it really brings me back to that time haha I wish I still had my strategy guides, they were so cool!
@@BlooTeg no prob. It was a blast to watch and I appreciat you taking the time to read it and replying and to all my other comments. cant wait to see more so. ima hit that sub button cause im loving the old school game content from ya.
@@BlooTeg my trip was 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> small brawl -> 1. so eh, while it was interesting to play, 1 was the least fun gameplaywise. I wish it could be just slightly modded
I've only seen screenshots of it (if it even is the game I'm thinking of) but never actually played it! I'll definitely take a look, is it a platformer?
@@BlooTeg yes, it is! And it's a third person shooter. The game is dark, funny and misterious. It would really be a good video to make and watch. Thanks for the content, man! I'm a fan already!

As a kid, TM2’s Dark Tooth gave me a few nightmares. Something about a flaming, floating head stalking me and wanting to kill me made my subconscious imagination go haywire.
Probably not the best game to play at 5-6 years old xD
yeah, can't even begin to imagine what gave you nightmares lmao

The cutscenes were included in Twisted Metal Head on Extra Twisted Edition
Come on, Twisted Metal 2 has an awesome soundtrack.
I just love to see how you improve!!! Keep up my friend!!! :D
I got TM 1 and 2 for like my 7 or 8th birthday. loved these games.
too bad it took me so long to play them, so good!
Twisted Metal is tight. I like the whole damn series on playstation.
Nice Twisted Metal! It's one of my favorite games back then! Nice video again mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it!
I never knew sweettooth wasn't the name of the driver of the ice cream truck
A Blue Stahli fan? You never cease to impress me.
Didn't finish the video yet, but thought I could share that Twisted Metal 1 was supposed to have video endings for each character, you can even find them on RUclips! The creator had to cut them off because they had semi-naked Woman on them, and I think the publisher didn't agree with this for religious reasons or something like that.
Edit: Reached the part where you mention it! Twisted Metal 1 would be way better with the videos, even if most/all of them are quite cheesy as you said. Part of the charm I guess.
Hahah I think I mentioned this at some point, but yeah I heard it's on the PS2 version of Head On, definitely hyped for that one!
Oh, twisted metal head on is a soft reboot of TM2 in terms of bossfights btw
I played TM2 A FUCKING LOT back when I was a kid. Although the copy I had lacked any cutscenes or music for some bizzare reason. Playing it with smooth 60 fps on PC was a blast. I usually picked 'Outlaw 2' and Hong Kong and just sat there for hours and hours.
Playing it in splitscreen 2 Players mode with my sister was an even better experience.
To this day I can still hear that noise from 'Mr. Slam's fucking bulldozer when he picks you up. It's there in the back of my head haunting me xd
Hahah it's a shame I didn't play this as a kid, definitely seems like everyone has great memories of it
Through what lens were you reviewing these games? 2022 or 1995??
Because in 1995, this was a highly rated game. EGM gave scores of 9.0 and 9.5 out of 10, and other reviewers gave similar scores.
But even then, the graphics weren’t exactly stellar but the style of play was similar to gaming culture back then.
Instant pick up and play, sufficient variety and could be completed within a weekend.
Clearly gaming culture has changed now and this game would only be acceptable as a 5 minute FTP mobile game now.
To be clear.
1995 me, loved this game.
2022 me, bored.
Honestly, maybe a mixture of both? I hardly think of it as a real review, more like just me talking about games haha
Wow man im almost 40 this is whatvme and my boys would play as a kid wild
You missed Head On having the original Live Action endings of this game.
They were removed because of the bikini babes surrounded by Calypso.
Christian companies were planning on boycotting the release of the game if they showed cleavage, as Hammerheads ending focuses on the T&A as they wished for Calypsos babes as their Original wish.
Seriously David Jaffe was FURIOUS they had to cut the Live Action endings because of Women showing their bodies in black bikinis
I actually didn't even know about Head On at this point lol
I ended up making a video with Under10Hours on it later on!
1st person with Mr Grimm in the Og was something else at the time;)
I don't think I've ever actually played TM1. Played quite a bit if TM2, TM3, and TMB. I have played TM4, but I remember not really caring for it. What the series needs to do is go the Super Smash Ultimate route and just make a new game that has all of the characters and levels from the original games remade.
that would definitely be cool!
Yo you've gotta consider "tall box" PS1 games in context when you review them. I don't think you realize how early the first game was in the PSX's life, with the unfair comparison to Driver and whatnot...
At the time, its textures weren't bad-they stood out because they looked sourced from photographs, kept a gritty and photorealistic color pallette, and were consistent in scale to the vehicles, which today we take for granted. And the size of that Suburbia map was mind-blowing, so big that it was honestly too big for PVP, which was a cool problem to have! But yes its framerate was choppy, and if it sounded cheap that might've been the terrible compression of the time, but overall it was all a big step up from Quarantine on 3DO!
You're right! I didn't thought about when it released compared to driver, that was my bad!
Found you through Twisted Metal
Twisted Metal 2 may have had only 10 songs but that game famously filled the PS1 disc's capacity! I'm saddened you didn't cover the cheat codes that were hidden on textures in the maps (like when you napalm the Mona Lisa in the Louvre)! Also did you notice the collapsed section of the Eiffel Tower is a bridge to the rooftops?
I loved TM2's gameplay and art style, and unlike the next two entries, its characters and bosses were likable and memorable. TM:Black really felt like a return to form. Thanks for covering these games!
Protip - backwards freeze is key (at least in multiplayer it was)
Honestly I didn't even know it had cheat codes considering I try my best to go completely blind into it, but I've got so used to having to pay for everything in games that I didn't even think about that haha
There's still a lot to learn for me
but I really liked 2!
@@BlooTeg Haha yeah it's funny how micro transactions have changed games. Free sh*t is old school lol
But yeah on the first map, the Soviet missile silo, there are billboards outside the fence, one will show a code when destroyed. In Paris, break in the door into the Louvre museum, napalm the Mona Lisa. In the gothic rooftops map, there's a code written on the ground somewhere down below, I think you have to fall off to see it. Those are just the ones I remember. There were also portals hidden inside destructible cover. The one in LAX was good one, takes you to a bunch of refills. The rooftops map was my favorite cuz of the hidden areas inside the buildings. Same with Hong Kong... Such a good game!
i love your intro
Welcome to the Twisted Metal fandom~
hahah thanks!
I recommend you check out Syphon Filter for PS1. And if you like exploring more underground games, there's the one that had the greatest impact on me in the fifth generation: RayCrisis
I played the first level on one of the Syphon Filter games so many times lol
I never heard of the second one, gonna take a look for sure!
I never got on with this game back in the day. Did you try putting a CD in, so the PS1 would play your choice of music from the disk.
I used to love messing with the PS1 menus, I remember I had the Slim PS1 with the silver squares, and when I first saw the Fat PS1 menu I was blown away by the colors, WHY WASN'T MINE LIKE THAT?
yeah and 4 months later.... u got an extra 14k
Man, those cars spin FAST in 4K!
Realy good video keep up the good work man!
If you love twisted metal you gotta also checkout its competitor the vigilante 8 games, 1 and 2 they are great! And personally I think better in some ways
definitely gonna get to those!
The reason the live action scenes were cut was literally because of the women and how they were dressed. thats right a Christian priest felt alright with cars and people being blown up, they're fine with Calypso murdering everyone just for the hell of it, but women in bikinis? thats a no no from us. so David Jaffe had to scrap all the footage. even some of the endings were altered between the lost endings and the final release.
yeah sounds way too extreme tbf.
This was old school growing up the original twisted metal glad you reviewed it and I also have a question can you review fighting force and Fighting Force 2
Definitely! I remember playing one for a bit at my friends ps1? and Fighting Force 64? Or maybe they're the same games, I really don't know haha
The original roadkill *spoilers*
He was murdered in his wish resulting being replaced with another character even though not all the worlds are the same in games.
It is a bit confusing since some games and stories seem to follow the last one, and some completely ignore them haha
Would definitely recommend you to play twisted metal black it’s my favorite
I'll definitely be checking it out!
TM2 was the game growing up
I was playing twisted metal 2 on the steam deck & Def Jam Fight for new york. I was chilling in my backyard and drinking some RedBull and I just thought about twisted metal then Def jam came to my mind. Now I can play in 4k without any lag
Def Jam is AMAZING. Still play it from time to time.
@@BlooTeg yeah I just past the part were Crow snoop Dogg setup a fight With Crack FatJoe to try to end the battle between demob & Crow Crew.
Another great video! And congrats for the 1.2k subs!!
Thank you so much!
I really really like your job, keep the good work!
Maybe you could do legacy of kain soul reaver.
For the PS1 right? I remember people saying it's very underrated, I added it to my list!
whoo wee I love this funny rat
hahah thanks!
Your journey will never be finished until you’ve reviewed every single video game that involves driving cars
Can’t wait for the Big Rigs Over the Road Racing review
I'm personally looking forward to M&M Kart Racing.
TM2 and TM black are the finest gems of the series.
I'm very interested in trying out black again!
@@BlooTeg There's also a community about TM Black online u should check it too.
Really interested to see what you think of the other PS1 TM games. It goes off the rails from there
Really? That honestly only makes me more interested in it... I'll do my best to avoid any spoilers haha
Holy moly, yeah subbed and bell- You're a goldmine for games of my childhood. TM4 and Small Brawl was where I was drawn into the series.
Any chance you have played or want to cover Jak and Daxter, Crash Bash or Maximo for PS2?
Crash Bash is 100% in, and I never played Jak and Daxter or Maximo, so I'll check that out for sure!
Also thank you, I won't rest until every game from everyone's childhood has been played. (Not a joke)
@@BlooTeg You're doing a great service and I salute you o7
So cool to see the love for classics, never played it but the community is definitely present, really enjoying your videos by the way.
thanks a lot! Really glad you enjoyed it!
In the minority but I always liked Twisted Metal 3 the most.
On my way to that one soon! Weirdly hyped cause apparently it got a mixed reception
As a kid, i played the shit out of this game.
Demolition Racer was also fun but the game i loved above beyond was Eagle One Harrier Attack 😁🤟
Oh, I never heard of any of those, seems like some very interesting games honestly!
@@BlooTeg Also try Ghost in the Shell 😎
You're blowing up rodent! I love the style.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
The Twisted metal series is literally my childhood.
This is a great nostalgia
I played TM1 while listening to Insane Clown Posse for goddam HOURS.
Could you pls review Dave Mirras freestyle bmx? It would be amazing!
I wanna do that along with Mat Hoffman's BMX haha
definitely happening!
@@BlooTeg great!! I'll stick around to see it!
Oh yeah and congratz for 1k subs!! 🎉
Thanks a lot!
Destruction derby 1 and 2 please!!
deal.
Thank you!!! Such a great game and surprised you responded!!
I read every comment haha
just sadly because of the NFS video it's been hard to answer everyone, but I'm trying!
Would really love to see you review other Twisted Metal games, i've seen your previous vids and they're pretty good too, keep up the good work! :)
Will do! Thank you so much!
Play it on EPSXE and choose FAST OGL2 in Video Render section
When you R in game u Should do some other settings then u can experience the smoothest texture quality possible
Dang that intro is so epic
twisted metal 1 and 2. Ah yes, love those games as a kid. sadly never had twisted metal 1 until i got older and found it and purchased it. though i did get to play it when i went to my dads house cause his gf at the time kid had it. twisted metal 2 i did own when i was kid and ya. i constantly played it lol that and a lot of others. i lived way out way out in the country so it was either play in the woods by myself basically (or with my brother(s)) as there was literally no one around us. so i spent a lot of time playing video games lol
twisted metal 2 is my fav in the series. i do have a soft spot for almost all of them, though i never did play small brawl nor did i play twisted metal 2012 though i did purchase it day one and had it factory sealed for the longest time before i just sold it.. i still own the strat guide for it. my one brother bought it and told me about like the 3 characters and you choose cars.... and i just well, im not opening that and playing it.. i waited years to play like another twisted metal 1,2,3,4/black and i knew 2012 was not that....
amazing vid. thanks for the work you put into this in. it was very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you so much and thanks for taking your time to write the comment, it really brings me back to that time haha
I wish I still had my strategy guides, they were so cool!
@@BlooTeg no prob. It was a blast to watch and I appreciat you taking the time to read it and replying and to all my other comments. cant wait to see more so. ima hit that sub button cause im loving the old school game content from ya.
Thank you! I'm really glad!
while TM1 is ok it really lacks some features from later titles. most notable: shooting back ability
you're right! but considering I started from that one I didn't even notice it haha
@@BlooTeg my trip was 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> small brawl -> 1. so eh, while it was interesting to play, 1 was the least fun gameplaywise. I wish it could be just slightly modded
top tier content bruh
Hey friend, have you ever played MDK for psone/pc? It's a very good and interesting game, so ahead of it's time. I would love to see a video on that 💛
I've only seen screenshots of it (if it even is the game I'm thinking of) but never actually played it! I'll definitely take a look, is it a platformer?
@@BlooTeg yes, it is! And it's a third person shooter. The game is dark, funny and misterious. It would really be a good video to make and watch. Thanks for the content, man! I'm a fan already!
Thank you so much for watching! I'll definitely check it out, people have been asking for platformers so that's a great idea!
Just purchased TWM 2 on ps4.
Hell yeah! have fun!
bro, that drop a minute in was sick. what's the name bluetag?
it's called "Give me everything you've got" by Blue Stahli haha
thanks dude
p.s. you might wanna check cammelia for some drops just in case
TM was the video game franchise I grew up with.
I miss those days.
You gotta play Vigilante 8 games
bet.
