Better than that though, you can blow it up and drive along the top of it to get to the rooftop area above Paris. It’s set in tight streets of Paris and has the Eiffel Tower at one end which you can actually get into. Paris is one of the best levels in any game. This leads to some fairly close quarter battles. Moscow is a much tighter arena with a weapon generator in the middle. The large open expanse in the middle of the stage is a good place to learn to master your controls which are initially a little bit slippy. There’s not much to this level apart from electrical towers that can hurt your opponents when triggered. The game itself is set across seven levels which are basically arenas and it is the levels that are the real stars here with various tricks and traps to use on your opponents.įirst up is Los Angeles, which is a raised area with a track around the outside. The objective is to keep doing damage while picking up extra ammunition for your bigger weapons which include napalm, homing missiles and ricochet bombs as well as shield, turbo and health pickups to keep you at least a little bit safer. You get to pick from one of these drivers who all vary in terms of speed, endurance and special weapons, and set off in a series of arena battles against a set number of opponents. This time series villain Calypso decides to take the contest out on the road to see how much of the world he can destroy and fourteen of the world’s best drivers set off against each other to win the ultimate prize, whatever they want from Calypso. Twisted Metal 2‘s plot follows on from the previous game which has seen LA destroyed by the first Twisted Metal tournament. That is apart from Twisted Metal 2 AKA Twisted Metal: World Tour which somehow managed to get enough things right that it became a massive cult hit on the original PlayStation.
