If I had a PS3, this would be the game I would have to buy. I love twisted metal, if just for the multiplayer. The 360 does not have a decent car deathmatch game.

BORING!!! Pick Car…Race around and blow stuff up…Upgrade…Play a Map… Wash…Rinse…Repeat!!
I know I am the “WEIRD” one..but I would love a Deep Back Story, like they TEASED in “TM: Black”
So I want it but will wait till it hits the Greatest Hits Bin for Cheap!
David J. Has left his Eat Sleep Play..or will shortly after this launch and is starting a new Company yet again. For Twisted he basically sat at home while the game was developed in another City.

All of his games have had a lack thereof for story if you wanted story out of Twisted Metal you were playing the wrong game. Its like playing Doom and hoping for a riveting story especially after that article saying story is not needed. That should have been a red flag for you.

What a surprise, it’s an ‘okay’ game after all.
Who didn’t see that coming.

Vigilante 8 is good fun. Not a technical marvel by any means, but good levels and very satisfying/varied weapons. Loads of content too, and at a very good price.
It has 4 player splitscreen, online MP and a campaign.
