2 Stars out of 4
Twisted Metal 4 is like Tomb Raider 4: More of the same, but better than last year's
installment.
I appreciate two things in this game. First, I like how you can designate any function to
any button. You can even assign the X button to activate vehicle acceleration and
machine gun-fire simultaneously. You can't change controls from the pause menu,
however.
The second change I appreciate is the quick recovery from crashes and flips. What
were the developers thinking last year? Were they so myopic to think that we'd actually
enjoy repetitive drawn-out scenes of destruction at the expense of fluent game play?
Oh, wait a minute. I forgot who these people make games for. Boys.
Boys will love the 14 weapons. Boys will love the deathmatch mode. Boys (and by
boys I mean minors) will never get tired of fireballs and cars. And that's what this game
is all about.
Other information:
The eight levels are very similar to levels in past installments. When you run out of
ammo, combos become your saving grace. (Yes, button sequenced combos.)
