Regardless, the time and dedication that went into designing them is definitely noticeable. This adds a lot of detail to a world that I would otherwise be okay with not having one given how much fun the gameplay is.
Its more that they aren’t just drones with different skins and outfits.Įach of them has a motivation for why they’re competing in Calypso’s tournament and has their own wish to fulfill by winning. Its not that any of them have life changing arcs that will revolutionize how you think about the world. For a car combat game, the depth of the characters surprised me a bit. This is not surprising given that the entire game is set around an asylum with a wealth of characters that are equally bent on destruction and mayhem. What Twisted Metal: Black does differently is that it is fixated on having a dark, insane tone. Get into extremely powerful cars, destroy everything around you, and try to survive. The overall thematic elements of the Twisted Metal series is easy to discern. Without a doubt, once I started this game up, I regretted how much time I’d wasted by not playing it before. Since my previous experience with such games was just alright, I passed on this game for a while. To be honest, I’d only heard about this series in passing here and there. When I got the chance to play Twisted Metal: Black, I finally found out what I’d been missing out on. Those games were in The Need for Speed and Grudge Warrior games and, as you could probably guess, those weren’t the best examples I could have experienced for car combat games, but they were fun in their own rite. When I was younger, I had only a few games that even remotely fell in that category. The games in the series usually contain a healthy dose of black humor.Car combat titles are a bit of a peculiar genre from my own perspective. However, there is a general "be careful what you wish for" theme in the game series, as nearly all of the winning contestants end up with "not-so-happy" endings,ĭue to the skill and proclivity of the hosts for twisting the words of their wish around often to deadly effect. The hosts of these games are the persons who are, through arcane means, capable of warping reality itself to grant the wish of the contest winner The winner is brought before the tournament host, who will grant the contestant a single wish. The general goal is to destroy all opponents apart from the other contestants, unique vehicles seemingly designed by the host themselves may stand in the competitors' path. In almost all of the games, the host is a man called "Calypso" however, in the series' fourth installment, perennial contestant Sweet Tooth briefly takes over.
Although each individual game features its own storyline, they all revolve around the eponymous "Twisted Metal": a vehicular combat tournament hosted once a year.
