Suffering from road rage? Prefer offensive driving? Check out Twisted Metal 4, the latest edition in PlayStation's bestselling demolition derby franchise. The game opens with news of the return of Sweet Tooth, this title's maniacal clown who is up to his not-so-funny antics again. Along with a horde of mini-sized clowns, he presents eight interactive battlegrounds on which to do combat, including his bedroom, the carnival, and eight hidden levels. These new environments have more traps and gizmos than previous Twisted Metal games, including randomly deposited gas barrels, secret areas, and new weapons in larger quantities. The game also introduces the ability to drive on walls and make giant leaps from building to building. Players can choose from 20 new characters and deathmobiles, including a demented family with a fierce station wagon or rock star Rob Zombie's Dragula mobile. Also new to this edition of the car-combat freak show is the "create a car" option, which allows you to customize a car's size, color, model, and special weapon. The rock and rap soundtrack for this combat chaos is provided by Rob Zombie, Cypress Hill, Cirrus, Ghoulspoon, One Minute Silence, and Skold. A multi-tap (sold separately) allows up to four people to play at once. --Carrie Bell Pros: - The next installment in an already successful franchise
- New cars, new characters, and a new plot
- Up to 4 players can hit the road with a multi-tap (sold separately)
Cons:- Camera angle problems can cause poor visibility during combat
- Almost as many moves and button configurations to memorize as in a fighting game

Twisted Metal 4 Reviews
Its not expensive and totally worth buying.The controls are easy to understand and this game can become addicting. The game is one of the funnest games for the PS.
I feel so bad for Dave Jaffe to have to see his creation ground up, cheeze added and packaged with a brand name and sweettooth's face. The story is not one of those ideas, although sweettooth in charge was a nice idea, his being a circus mastermind with evil clown minions was retarded and Totally throws him in a different direction then he was meant to be. The "Create-a-Car" was a single step in the right direction, although far too shallow, and MAKING you choose one of a handful of STUPID voices [warcries] to hear EVERY TIME you shoot your special will "MAKE YOU SHIVER WHEN I DELIVER" When 3 came out I was with alot of fans in saying WTF is THIS. I am a DIE-HARD fan of 2 and also liked 1. 4 doesn't do much better, and yet has a few neat ideas added that make it not as awful and actually worth a bargain bin price. It was weird jerky, shaky controls, horrible, and obviously rushed graphics, and they messed up all the stories.
P.S. Wow. I liked the ability to play as calypso, but what the hell did they do to sweet tooth. There are some features that are its saving grace, like creating your own car, but theres not much depth to it. Im not saying that its a totally bad game, its just not a good twisted metal game. Its just a pathetic attempt to put a fresh new spin on a series staple.
thats all i can say. i cant wait for TM for PS3. I must admit i own this game just for the sole fact that it has the TM name. This game should not have the twisted metal name on it. I cant recommend this game to anyone but the true TM hardcore fans.
Twisted Metal 3: good. Twisted Metal 2: great. As a fan of the series I couldn't stand this game for more than 10 minutes. Twisted Metal 1: good. Twisted Metal 4: bad.
While I agree with the majority that 989 Studios brought down the Twisted Metal series to some degree, it's saving grace was Twisted Metal 4. I can only recommend this as a rental, at best. 989 Studios did try to rectify what they did wrong in Twsted Metal III by making more hidden areas than in the previous games, sharpening up the look of the game, bringing new characters to the fold(although some are downright forgettable), and improving the control of the game. Yet, still is an easily forgettable game in the series. It is a solid & fun game.alot more so than Twisted Metal III.
In some respects, this game was refreshing due to its' new take on the series. The create-a-car option is a good start but I agree with most that more variety in this area would've made a huge difference. After recently getting Twisted Metal Head-On Extra Twisted Edition, I decided to go back and check out the older Twisted Metal games. The soundtrack in the game is awesome with appearances by Rob Zombie, Cypress Hill, Cirrus and Skold. In this case, Twisted Metal 4.
It is, however, still too easy to flip over in the gamewhich was downright annoying in TM III or to miss a landing and whatnot.
