As I mentioned, the game takes place at the Blackfield Asylum as the character compete in a tournament run by Calypso, who can grant any wish for anyone should they come out victorious. If you came to play an action packed game filled with plenty of graphic violence, my friend, you’re in the right place. I constantly found my favorite character to be Raven – maybe its he’s a bit edgy, but the Shadow vehicle is pretty cool too. 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. Car combat titles are a bit of a peculiar genre from my own perspective.
