Putting Small Brawl below 3 and 4 is criminal. Yes, it’s different, but its theming and aesthetics are so charming in a completely different way, and the courses are memorable given their relatability. It’s just so charming while accomplishing what it sets out to do so well.
My favorite was head-on. It felt like Twsited Metal 2 but with better mechanics and graphics so almost perfect for me since 2 indeed does have the best lore and vibe.
The Twisted Metal Ps3 online was perplexing, it had all these weird server issues preventing you from joining a game, but if you did manage to join a game it was pretty smooth and lag free.
Black has only one major problem with me and that's the fact that the AI really only targets the player. It's very rare you'll actually see them attacking each other
@@sexybrunchset8881 I don't mind the secret characters too much. I didn't mind the prison one at all, hated the suburban one, and although it was neet to shoot down the plane in the junkyard, I didn't like the fact that you had to hold off on killing everyone till after it fell to find the character. And yes Minion's shield is ATROCIOUSLY annoying
@@chucky123rvl its really bad probably the worst in the series good endings and story but its easy and the physics are boring with basically auto aim weapons
The only people who’d say Small Brawl was the worst are people who didn’t play Small Brawl. I know the kiddy stuff can be off putting, but the gameplay is top notch - definitely the best on PS1. The stories are on a smaller scale but they aren’t bad. You being in a smaller car actually let them get pretty creative with the levels - instead of cities, you’d have stuff like a bowling alley or a kitchen that, because everything is gigantic to you, feel so fresh compared with the rest of the series. I recently replayed through twisted metal (up to black anyways, don’t have head on anymore unfortunately) and it was definitely the most FUN I had. It’s kinda like how people hated wind Waker, and yet it aged the best out of those older 3D Zelda games. I’d probably still say black is better overall, but when you’re second to arguably the best game in the series and a top 10 game on PS2, you’re a pretty damn good game
I agree, the concept, level design, story, soundtrack, graphics, are good and trapper boss fight is epic. Theres no way sb is below 3 and 4, those two are terrible tm games.
@@pp3k3jamailHave you ever played it? Why do you think it’s trash? I understand disliking the concept but anytime I’ve seen someone play it they seem to be genuinely surprised by how fun it is and how the gameplay is vastly improved over TM2 and how much fun the environments are to go through. His critique was fairly superficial, just saying he didn’t like how the game was targeted towards kids and his criticism towards the gameplay was mostly saying it’s not twisted metal black lol
@@JavonHolland I've literally purchased it on EVERY PS console. That's total horseshit that I have to do that, but whatever. And no, it looks like a PS2 dated game. A remaster would be everything. ❤️
Might be sacreligious to say but small brawl is my favorite. Im a sucker for toy athtetics. I also enjoy its easier difficulty. I enjoy not getting blown up in two seconds and being able to play any vehical and have fun.
I had this idea for a Twisted Metal Reboot: You have your classic Twisted Metal Tournament mode. 8 or so levels with your chosen vehicle at your chosen difficulty. Destroy all your opponents to win and see your character's ending. But this game would also have a fully fleshed out story campaign. The protagonist is this guy who worked for like 15 years as Calypso's right hand man and his job was the be the "Rules Master" of Twisted metal. He enters the contest to stop Calypso once and for all, but unlike all the other characters who have wanted to do that, this guy knows Calypso's weaknesses.
PS3 twisted metal was my 1st and yeah I remember the launch the game had online problems for like a month by then everyone left shame because if it wasn't for the online problems I honestly think we will still be getting more of them I do think we will get a reboot again with the show I think the game and the show will tie to each other basically the show will show you the stories of the characters and the game will follow the show
I was blown away when I got twisted metal black, can’t believe my parents let me play it. Super engrossing and dark. Twisted metal two is a close second to me.
My dad came up and watched me play games from time to time. He happened to come in while I was watching Mr Grimm explain how he ate his friend and wore his skull. Old man said, hmmm don’t tell your mom about this game. Hahaha
Yeah honestly just 1 of my favorite ps1 games and just in general, aged quite well too imo. I think it's a great TM cause after all the characters are kids. And compared to the physics in 2! Id very much rather play small brawl. Plus he's technically comparing "real cars" to "RC cars" so comparing isn't really that fair. I will admit its watered down but the game literally for kids featuring kids. I thought he was a little too opinionated with small brawl but to each their own Compared to the others, small brawl is among the least of a hot mess and it got back to having a good solid story. No secret twisted metal can be cheesy. I like everything about black except the actual gameplay everything just happens too unrealistically fast like acceleration n braking it's just weird like a cartoon and it probably has my least favorite Ai intelligence freeze spamming and they're so immediately aggressive hunting u like a dog but the atmosphere is 10/10 TM in its true form for sure. It would be nice if all of the TMs had a true free-for-all where ur not the target Xd
14:20 I recall as well. I think that's what killed the game. I would have tried to keep playing it online but it was just crushing how much time lost while trying to actually get on a game online
It’s a real shame twisted metal 2012 lacked the characters and story and was limited to only four ppl cause from a gameplay perspective it looks to be the best one and the most modern. If it had the roster it would most likely be top 2
I gotta say this is probably the best tm ranking list I've come across. I went in depth in each game on why it was in that spot. Personally my favorite is head on but I totally see why black got #1
Twisted Metal will always be my favorite iconic franchise to me also Twisted Metal 1, 2 and Black are my favorite ones and Black was a super stressful game especially fighting against minion OMFG I even like Vigilante 8 even though it's not Twisted Metal but it's really similar to it
My list 1.TM2 2.TM Black 3. TM Head-On 4. TM 2012 (would be higher, but the damn final campaign race) 5. TM 3 6. TM 1 7. TM Small Brawl 8. TM 4 If I'm being honest though Small Brawl and 4 are interchangeable. Mainly because I've only recently acquired and played Small Brawl
Twisted Metal Black is something else man, and THANK GOD for it being available as a PS2 Classic on PS3/PS4/PS5 and being able to make an American PSN Account, cause here in all the countries in the PAL Region, for whatever bloody reason, they completely REMOVED ALL THE CUTSCENES from the game... As you can imagine it's super weird and feels like something is missing, so much so that my friend (who actually owned it during the PS2 Era, we played it together a bunch late in that generation when we met in High School) thought the Story was missing/cut and did some research here on RUclips (which remember was fairly New at that time) and found a video of every cutscene in the game... Needless to say that our minds where blown and we we're incredibly suprised to find out how fucked up the characters stories actually where 😂
The online matches in TM2012 not starting comes down to people being literally too stupid to press start. They had to patch the game to start matches and we ended up with half full lobbies. 😒
This list needs a reevaluation. The majority consensus has changed on Small Brawl & TM4, people realize they're really fun to play. The opposite is true for TM2, people realize it's unplayable and is only fondly remembered for the art syle as opposed to it being fun to play.
Great review, loved Twisted Metal as a kid and just finished the TV show. I enjoyed it personally, could have done with more car combat, but I hope we get a second season. Now waiting for Twisted Metal Black to install 😊
Great video. Very clear that you are a big fan. I agree with TMB as the #1. It was such a leap over everything that came before, while keeping a winning formula.
I skipped to black to hear your thoughts on it. I miss this game series some of the games were ok...but hands down black was my favorite because thats the one i started with but i do appreciate the older ones especially when you nuke them bots with calypso's special
This is pretty spot on for me...The only things i'd change and it's just my personal opinion of course but i'd swap 3 and small brawl and I'd swap head on and 2. Hopefully the show is a hit and it leads to a new game.
Twisted Metal is my favourite series of all time! I’m actually doing videos on my channel now. I agree with most of you’re list but mine are: 8. TM PS3 has hardly any single player content so it’s my least favourite. 7. TM Head On would be great if it wasn’t so easy and had better combat. 6. TM1 is good but barebones I comeback to it sometimes. 5. TM Black single player on hard is awful but I can enjoy the game otherwise. It’s also too dark and the levels are honestly boring by all being grey and black. 4. TM3 I actually really love and I don’t get the hate with it. The only bad thing are the endings and the game is really quick. 3. TM SB I thought I would place lower but my only complaint is that it feels stiff to control. Otherwise this could have been number 2. 2. TM4 is massively underrated and people need to give it a chance. Sure the characters suck but the gameplay is one of the best in the series. Just wish weapons killed you a bit faster. 1. TM2 is my favourite game of all time! I have probably close to 10000 hours played. I know the game better than I know myself. Sure the A.I can freeze spam but other than that I love how they chase you down and have different attack patterns. I also have videos of doing this game deathless on hard with all characters.
I've only ever played the third game, that was in the early 2010s and I don't even remember owning a PlayStation (granted I've owned more Xbox consoles), I can't comment on what I felt about TM3 because I only recall playing it once (probably played it more than once though) and I'm not able to play it again at the moment (all that currently survives of my copy is the back half of the disc case and the PlayStation is probably long since gone), but I recall having some fun with it
Head-on was the last version I played, it was great. I never knew about the ps3 TM. I'm looking at black for ps4. I'm not sure I'm gonna get it. Hoping PS will announce a new game soon
My list has never really changed all these years 🏆 TM2, TM1 & TM4 Never cared too much for black, but that's just me. I'll take the heavy ram damage over everyones lightning acceleration lol
I respect your opinion but I completely disagree about Small Brawl. I didn't play it as much but while it did feel like it was unfinished in the menu and overall aesthetic of the game, the gameplay was solid and arguably the best out of the PS1 games (no car turning upside down, amazing level design, even got a cut ending for Axel) so Putting TMSB below TM3 and TM4 which had worse level design (TM3 Washington and TM4 Maze) plus completely different aesthetic from the original games that they were suppose to follow, objectively should put them below TMSB.
4 felt the most weird to me like it wasn’t a twisted metal game still loved it. I loved all of them but my top ones are 2, head on, 2012 and black. Also I do love tm3 not a joke.
Twisted metal 2 still the best. Most satisfying combat, collision has weight, weapons do perfectly amount of damage to not let battles drag on, variety in levels and cars is the best. Black is very good but Weapons are way too weak and makes killing enemies a chore sometimes. It’s shouldn’t take 30 missiles to kill a motorcycle. And every level looks the same and kinda boring. Car collision in black feels cheap and that cars are made of origami paper
I liked the twisted Metal game that allowed you to create your own car. I think that was part 4. I also liked head on but I really couldn't get a feel for black. I didn't like it.
very much agree Cool fun creative characters and vehicles Amazing soundtrack, Smooth mechanics And Fun stages. Don't really care about lore It's not like it's supposed to have a very deep story mode or anything. To me it's more like a fighting game story mode But with cars And fighting game lore isn't that deep or interesting anyways.
to me i think Twisted Metal: Small Brawl is a alright game, a bit over hated, it's worth a try this would be my list 8: Twisted Metal 3 (this game is just very bad to go back and play, CGI cutscenes are terrible, in game graphics are ok but i can't play through this game unless it's with cheats) 7: Twisted Metal 4 (the better of the 989 Studio games, my only problems were that some of the level design was a bit confusing Minion's Maze being a example and Sweet Tooth being a broken af character JESUS H CHRIST Sweet Tooth's special in TM4 was PAIN, if you were using a low armor character and got caught in the special say goodbye to that life) 6: Twisted Metal: Small Brawl (i think this game gets a bit to much hate, the level design is pretty interesting, graphics are decent, it's a alright game, i can understand why people don't like the game cause of the tone the only two things to me that i don't like is who underwheiling Piecemeal is as a final boss and some weapons don't feel fun to use, honestly give this game a try it's good) 5: Twisted Metal 1 (this game is good but sadly, it doesn't hold up well ramming enemies with high armored characters like, Darkside, Hammerhead and Sweet Tooth is kinda broken, you can drain so much health just from ramming into enemies, the a.i can be unfair seeing that they only hunt you down, to me if you goin back to this one u can use cheats) 4: Twisted Metal 2 (now hear me out, this game is very good, my only problem is the a.i THEY WANT YOUR HEAD ON A PLATTER !!! unless the a.i accidently un alives themselves they won't attack each other, all the a.i wants is to run your fade and when they catch in a freeze spam and constantly hit with their infinite specials it's not fun) 3: Twisted Metal 2012 (can't comment on this one as much cause i never played this one my only problem is that there wasn't a tournament mode like the old school Twisted Metal games and there was only 3 characters in the story mode Sweet Tooth, Mr Grimm and Dollface) 2: Twisted Metal: Head On (for a sequel to Twisted Metal 2, this is a very fun game, i like the upgrade mechanic for when you defeat someone, think the only problem i have is the Tower Tooth fight, the second phase SUCKS !" 1: Twisted Metal: Black (still to this day one of the best TM games in the franchise, sure the dark tone may not be for everyone but when it comes to gameplay this game is fun as heck, the only problem i have is that almost all the level have the same color theme i know it's for the game but it's not really nice to look at sometimes and once again the a.i just HATES you, thankfully it's not like Twisted Metal 2 when you can be stuck in a freeze spam, if it's still available on the PS GET IT AND PLAY IT !!!!, it doesn't disable trophies if you use cheats btw)
Small Brawl is definitely underrated. The levels are fun, the characters are good, the music is good, the visuals .... eh I can KINDA see why people hate on it since came out after Black, but it's kinda silly and TM has always had a sense of silly to it, aside from black up to this point.
Nice reviews, I like them all but my overall ranking is: 1. TM2 2. TM Head-On 3. TM Black 4. TM 4 5. TM 1 6. TM Small Brawl 7. TM 3 I missed PS3 so i'm not ranking TM 2012. Best car is Twister btw.
I actually preferred 989s versions. I played a tiny bit of 2 and it wasn't better than 3. 4 took a hard turn for me from 3 but nothing about the other games ever interested me. I do not like it when a title goes from a numbered series to individual titles and the stories being told are exactly my point as to why. Everyone gives 989 shit for ruining the canon.... Like pay a little more attention, all 989 did was take a game about a twisted car competition with a man able to give you anything should you win and continue to do that. 1 and 2 couldn't even make the characters tangibly similar, how was a new studio going to fix those inconsistencies? It wasn't, it was just going to take em a run with em. Look at Sweet Tooth betwen 1,2,3 and 4. All different characters. One can easily assume 989 did what the previous titles were doing beforehand. One can assume that canonically; Twisted Metal is meant to be inconsistent. So it comes down to nostalgia gameplay music and characters...and of the games I've played in the series; 3 was the stand out. That intro is burnt into my memory and its a good thing
You think Small Brawl is the worst because the thematic? Its so dumb. The gameplay is better than the older games and the way his change the mature elements is pretty funny
For me Twisted Metal the first one will be in four place third place would be head on second police will be twisted metal black and first place will be Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal 2012 the racing in it sucked really bad and some of the challenges was never that good this game was going to be an online-only game story when goody there three characters really hurted for me

Putting Small Brawl below 3 and 4 is criminal. Yes, it’s different, but its theming and aesthetics are so charming in a completely different way, and the courses are memorable given their relatability. It’s just so charming while accomplishing what it sets out to do so well.
It's okay, he is entitled to his wrong opinion.
My favorite was head-on. It felt like Twsited Metal 2 but with better mechanics and graphics so almost perfect for me since 2 indeed does have the best lore and vibe.
Agree it and 2 and 2012 were my favorites with black right there also. And honestly I loved 3
And it had playable dark tooth!
3 sucked. It's controls felt like all 4 tires had been slashed.

@@Therealstoob thanks, glad you feel the same and can’t wait for another game! 🔥
TM1 is the best because of the music the humor gameplay and no camera issues
Ive played TM2, TMSB, TM4, Black, Head on and TM PS3

Honestly, I would love a new Twisted Metal game that ties into the show. Now is a better time than ever to release a new game.
Might be sacreligious to say but small brawl is my favorite. Im a sucker for toy athtetics. I also enjoy its easier difficulty. I enjoy not getting blown up in two seconds and being able to play any vehical and have fun.
Take a shot everytime he says remember during the TM PS3 section.
Twisted Metal 3 was my first TM game. I was 7 at the time so it will always hold place in my childhood. ❤
Same lol, 3 has always been my fav as it's the one I grew up with but I find it interesting how most people hate it
At least 3 and 4 had good soundtracks! That was the main reason I'd play the crap out of em.. Lol
Basic? Black is a goat contender. The look, feel, soundtrack, and STORIES! Black is such a phenomenal game

It and 2 were my favorites out of the older 4
My list
1.TM2
2.TM Black
3. TM Head-On
4. TM 2012 (would be higher, but the damn final campaign race)
5. TM 3
6. TM 1
7. TM Small Brawl
8. TM 4
If I'm being honest though Small Brawl and 4 are interchangeable. Mainly because I've only recently acquired and played Small Brawl
I also got pissed of by the racing in 2012 😂
3 and 4 were such a hits within my friends,we played those a lot but i think 2 is my favorite
Twisted Metal Black is something else man, and THANK GOD for it being available as a PS2 Classic on PS3/PS4/PS5 and being able to make an American PSN Account, cause here in all the countries in the PAL Region, for whatever bloody reason, they completely REMOVED ALL THE CUTSCENES from the game...

Great video. Very clear that you are a big fan. I agree with TMB as the #1. It was such a leap over everything that came before, while keeping a winning formula.
With rocket league being so much fun, I’m surprised a modern day twisted metal wasn’t created going off the fun, and popularity of that game.
There was one in development that got cancelled apparently.
It'd be nice to at least get a remaster of TM 2012, the online modes were pretty fun when it came out 🤷🏻♂️
Most people would say Twisted Metal World Tour. Good video.
I skipped to black to hear your thoughts on it. I miss this game series some of the games were ok...but hands down black was my favorite because thats the one i started with but i do appreciate the older ones especially when you nuke them bots with calypso's special
When the MP worked in TM2013, it was the most fun I had in a MP game.
Such a different and brave take.
How'd I know the order before clicking the video
I’m really hoping the leaked tv series will go the same route as TMB 🥹 griddy, dark, deep character development.
Action-comedy is what they are going for.
Totally missed opportunity
This is pretty spot on for me...The only things i'd change and it's just my personal opinion of course but i'd swap 3 and small brawl and I'd swap head on and 2.
Hopefully the show is a hit and it leads to a new game.
Small brawl last is such a casual take. It’s easily top 5, arguably top 3
twisted metal 3 was my favourite but twisted metal 4 when u could make your own vehicles went HARD!
Twisted Metal is my favourite series of all time! I’m actually doing videos on my channel now. I agree with most of you’re list but mine are:
8. TM PS3 has hardly any single player content so it’s my least favourite.
7. TM Head On would be great if it wasn’t so easy and had better combat.
6. TM1 is good but barebones I comeback to it sometimes.
5. TM Black single player on hard is awful but I can enjoy the game otherwise. It’s also too dark and the levels are honestly boring by all being grey and black.
4. TM3 I actually really love and I don’t get the hate with it. The only bad thing are the endings and the game is really quick.
3. TM SB I thought I would place lower but my only complaint is that it feels stiff to control. Otherwise this could have been number 2.
2. TM4 is massively underrated and people need to give it a chance. Sure the characters suck but the gameplay is one of the best in the series. Just wish weapons killed you a bit faster.
1. TM2 is my favourite game of all time! I have probably close to 10000 hours played. I know the game better than I know myself. Sure the A.I can freeze spam but other than that I love how they chase you down and have different attack patterns. I also have videos of doing this game deathless on hard with all characters.
The show came out recently and was actually good shockingly
I have only played Black BTW and it's my favourite of them all.
I've only ever played the third game, that was in the early 2010s and I don't even remember owning a PlayStation (granted I've owned more Xbox consoles), I can't comment on what I felt about TM3 because I only recall playing it once (probably played it more than once though) and I'm not able to play it again at the moment (all that currently survives of my copy is the back half of the disc case and the PlayStation is probably long since gone), but I recall having some fun with it
Head-on was the last version I played, it was great. I never knew about the ps3 TM. I'm looking at black for ps4. I'm not sure I'm gonna get it. Hoping PS will announce a new game soon
Would love to see the original trilogy get a remaster with updated graphics and controls.
Twisted metal series is great! Season two should be around soon. Twisted metal 2 is the best game!
I played 4 the most on playstation 1, and i also loved it lol. Of course black is the goat though that i put the most time into of them all.
My list has never really changed all these years
🏆 TM2, TM1 & TM4
Never cared too much for black, but that's just me. I'll take the heavy ram damage over everyones lightning acceleration lol
04:21, if Small Brawl wasn't so slow paced and the vehicle handling was more similar to 3 and 4, SB would be a lot better
I respect your opinion but I completely disagree about Small Brawl. I didn't play it as much but while it did feel like it was unfinished in the menu and overall aesthetic of the game, the gameplay was solid and arguably the best out of the PS1 games (no car turning upside down, amazing level design, even got a cut ending for Axel) so Putting TMSB below TM3 and TM4 which had worse level design (TM3 Washington and TM4 Maze) plus completely different aesthetic from the original games that they were suppose to follow, objectively should put them below TMSB.
Need a collection with the 5 ps1 games and both ps2 games and and ps3 game and psp game all on disc for ps5 with all dlc etc
honestly for me tm1,tm3,tm4,tm2,tmho,tm2012,tmsb,tmblack
4 felt the most weird to me like it wasn’t a twisted metal game still loved it. I loved all of them but my top ones are 2, head on, 2012 and black. Also I do love tm3 not a joke.
Yeah i tried tm4. Tm always tries to be grounded but tm4 it has a futuristic car, level, alien, shrink ray. It's so whacky.
@@sexybrunchset8881 yup very carnival like lol still fun
The pal version of black has no cutscenes
I guess I'm the only lame who actually had fun with small brawl when I was like 5
I love old school ps1 dated graphics
Twisted metal 2 still the best. Most satisfying combat, collision has weight, weapons do perfectly amount of damage to not let battles drag on, variety in levels and cars is the best. Black is very good but Weapons are way too weak and makes killing enemies a chore sometimes. It’s shouldn’t take 30 missiles to kill a motorcycle. And every level looks the same and kinda boring. Car collision in black feels cheap and that cars are made of origami paper
I liked the twisted Metal game that allowed you to create your own car. I think that was part 4. I also liked head on but I really couldn't get a feel for black. I didn't like it.
idk why people dont like 3. I enjoyed TM3. 2 obviously is goated imo.
The online was so frustrating, couldn't find any matches, it was laggy and people just trolled you with Talon.
Playstations Disinterest in this franchise is beyond disappointing
21:49 im sorry are you playing as darkside on head-on?
Twisted Metal III has ALWAYS and will ALWAYS be my favorite Twisted Metal game.
Sorry if that offends anyone. 😏
very much agree Cool fun creative characters and vehicles Amazing soundtrack, Smooth mechanics And Fun stages. Don't really care about lore It's not like it's supposed to have a very deep story mode or anything. To me it's more like a fighting game story mode But with cars And fighting game lore isn't that deep or interesting anyways.
My order of favorites are 2, 4 and Black. Really enjoyed 3, played it for years.
Tis very good information to have.
to me i think Twisted Metal: Small Brawl is a alright game, a bit over hated, it's worth a try this would be my list
8: Twisted Metal 3 (this game is just very bad to go back and play, CGI cutscenes are terrible, in game graphics are ok but i can't play through this game unless it's with cheats)
7: Twisted Metal 4 (the better of the 989 Studio games, my only problems were that some of the level design was a bit confusing Minion's Maze being a example and Sweet Tooth being a broken af character JESUS H CHRIST Sweet Tooth's special in TM4 was PAIN, if you were using a low armor character and got caught in the special say goodbye to that life)
6: Twisted Metal: Small Brawl (i think this game gets a bit to much hate, the level design is pretty interesting, graphics are decent, it's a alright game, i can understand why people don't like the game cause of the tone the only two things to me that i don't like is who underwheiling Piecemeal is as a final boss and some weapons don't feel fun to use, honestly give this game a try it's good)
5: Twisted Metal 1 (this game is good but sadly, it doesn't hold up well ramming enemies with high armored characters like, Darkside, Hammerhead and Sweet Tooth is kinda broken, you can drain so much health just from ramming into enemies, the a.i can be unfair seeing that they only hunt you down, to me if you goin back to this one u can use cheats)
4: Twisted Metal 2 (now hear me out, this game is very good, my only problem is the a.i THEY WANT YOUR HEAD ON A PLATTER !!! unless the a.i accidently un alives themselves they won't attack each other, all the a.i wants is to run your fade and when they catch in a freeze spam and constantly hit with their infinite specials it's not fun)
3: Twisted Metal 2012 (can't comment on this one as much cause i never played this one my only problem is that there wasn't a tournament mode like the old school Twisted Metal games and there was only 3 characters in the story mode Sweet Tooth, Mr Grimm and Dollface)
2: Twisted Metal: Head On (for a sequel to Twisted Metal 2, this is a very fun game, i like the upgrade mechanic for when you defeat someone, think the only problem i have is the Tower Tooth fight, the second phase SUCKS !"
1: Twisted Metal: Black (still to this day one of the best TM games in the franchise, sure the dark tone may not be for everyone but when it comes to gameplay this game is fun as heck, the only problem i have is that almost all the level have the same color theme i know it's for the game but it's not really nice to look at sometimes and once again the a.i just HATES you, thankfully it's not like Twisted Metal 2 when you can be stuck in a freeze spam, if it's still available on the PS GET IT AND PLAY IT !!!!, it doesn't disable trophies if you use cheats btw)
What? Small Brawl is good with creative level design and banging music!
Small Brawl is definitely underrated. The levels are fun, the characters are good, the music is good, the visuals .... eh I can KINDA see why people hate on it since came out after Black, but it's kinda silly and TM has always had a sense of silly to it, aside from black up to this point.
I would put head on at #2 and tw2 at #3.
Nice reviews, I like them all but my overall ranking is:
1. TM2
2. TM Head-On
3. TM Black
4. TM 4
5. TM 1
6. TM Small Brawl
7. TM 3
I missed PS3 so i'm not ranking TM 2012. Best car is Twister btw.
Good list my top 4 has always been 2 head on black and 2012
I agree with this list. TM 3, 4 and Small Brawl are the worst but when it comes to TM 1, 2, Black and Head On those games are amazing
Twisted metal 4 and black are the best for me
Twisted Metal 2 is the best for me. I hate how dark the colour palettes became from Black onwards. It's so unappealing to me.
How does Small Brawl lose so many points for being easy, but it's a pass for Head-On? Both are very easy
You failed to explain why TM1 was objectively at number 5 of 8, far ahead of 3? Of its' sequels. Good job
Twisted metal 2012 tm 4 tm black are my top three
I like twisted metal and superheroes
Tm 1 tm 2 tm black tm small tm head on tm 4 and tm 3 r my favorite
No new twisted metal needed, just black remake 👀
I actually preferred 989s versions. I played a tiny bit of 2 and it wasn't better than 3. 4 took a hard turn for me from 3 but nothing about the other games ever interested me. I do not like it when a title goes from a numbered series to individual titles and the stories being told are exactly my point as to why. Everyone gives 989 shit for ruining the canon.... Like pay a little more attention, all 989 did was take a game about a twisted car competition with a man able to give you anything should you win and continue to do that. 1 and 2 couldn't even make the characters tangibly similar, how was a new studio going to fix those inconsistencies? It wasn't, it was just going to take em a run with em. Look at Sweet Tooth betwen 1,2,3 and 4. All different characters. One can easily assume 989 did what the previous titles were doing beforehand. One can assume that canonically; Twisted Metal is meant to be inconsistent. So it comes down to nostalgia gameplay music and characters...and of the games I've played in the series; 3 was the stand out. That intro is burnt into my memory and its a good thing
You think Small Brawl is the worst because the thematic? Its so dumb. The gameplay is better than the older games and the way his change the mature elements is pretty funny
Small Brawl is my second favorite, only beat out by Black.
I have to respectfully disagree with your small brawl placement.
Honestly, I like Small Brawl more than 3 and 4.
Hell yeah
I dont care what people say ps5 disc can hold all them on one disc all 9
i think i just play ps3 because of graphics and you say it has a good story and combat
twisted metal 4 is my favorite.
TM: Black is definitely the best.
Ps3 twisted metal is my favorite
My rankings are
1. TM Black
2. TM PS3
3. TM Head On
4. TM 2
5. TM 3
6. TM
I havent played TMSB
7. TM 4
For me Twisted Metal the first one will be in four place third place would be head on second police will be twisted metal black and first place will be Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal 2012 the racing in it sucked really bad and some of the challenges was never that good this game was going to be an online-only game story when goody there three characters really hurted for me
i cant see anything in twisted metal black. its too dark.
