Twisted Metal is a series of vehicular combat video games published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and developed by various companies during its tenure. The series began on the PlayStation in 1995 and currently features eight games. It is the 162nd best-selling video game franchise, selling over 7 million copies of Twisted Metal: Black in North America alone, and at least 15 million copies total.

The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including various online game modes with up to 4 player split-screen and 16-players online. For example, the Nuke Mode is a new online game mode where you choose a faction to play against an opposing faction. In this mode, each faction has a giant metal statue that is being held in the air by a helicopter, which the opposing team must try to destroy. In order to destroy these statues, the player must abduct the enemy team's leader, then sacrifice the leader to a missile launcher that will, in turn, launch a nuclear missile.
The person who sacrifices the leader and launches the missile has to control it to hit the opposing teams statue in the air. In order to win the opposing team has to repeat the process 3 times before the statue is destroyed for a team to win. There are four factions: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls, and the Holy Men. The former having been announced as being inspired by Sweet Tooth and Dollface respectively. The latter are led by Mr. Grimm and the Preacher respectively.
Background and vehicles

The game has nothing to do with previous Twisted Metal installments, being a new universe altogether. The only similarities are that some of characters names are the same.
Selectable vehicles in the game include Reaper (a motorcycle,) Roadboat (a car that looks similar to a Cadillac,) Death Warrant (a fifth-generation Ford Mustang,) Vermin (a rodent catcher van,) Meat Wagon (a medical 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Combination Car,) and Talon (a helicopter.) The game, of course, has Sweet Tooth which transforms into a mecha-robot for its special, similar to Sweet Tooth's special in Black. Axel (a vehicle consisting of two giant wheels) also returns as a pre-order exclusive. There are also cars that were announced at comic-con 2011 such as Shadow (a hearse,) Kamikaze (a Japanese themed sports car,) Darkside (a semi truck,) Juggernaut (an 18 wheeled semi truck,) Warthog (a pair of tank treads with the body of a station wagon strapped to the top,) Roadkill (a junker with hot rod flames,) and Outlaw (a police SUV.) Drivers and cars are interchangeable in this game. There is also a "paint shop" that allows players to customize the appearance of each vehicle; this was hinted at in another interview with David Jaffe.[5] New weapons include Sniper Rifle and Shotgun.

In my opinion, the last decent game was Twisted Metal: Black

I didn't like how they turned it into teams of weirdos using famous vehicles instead of the characters they represent. I like the new vehicles as well, but it lacks character compared to Black.
