Synopsis
Pile into vehicular combat pandemonium with TWISTED METAL III from Sony. In this fresh take on the TWISTED METAL series, contamination and craziness have scattered across the land like a curse. You are the sleekest and smartest automobile assassin around. Your assignment is to choose from diverse, specially equipped, battle-scarred street machines like taxicabs, police cars, motorcycles, and ice cream trucks, and compete in contests of vehicular brutality and SPARTACUS-style survival. Bask in the glow of striking, 3D, destructible terrain as you veer from structure to dwelling and street to sewer in an effort to sidestep your crazed pursuers and emerge triumphant. In Single-Player mode or Head-to-Head PlayStation-networked conflict, you'll dash through diverse, vast worlds, firing and scheming against fiendish foes and grotesque criminals.



Gameplay
To start off, players will get to choose one of twelve different personas, each withholding a unique special power to use against their foes. By partaking in tournament mode, players can either choose to go into the tournament on their own or have a partner to aid them and work together as a team to win the tournament and get that single wish each persona desires. Players are equipped with machine guns attached to their vehicle and have unlimited ammo. Apart from that, more powerful weapons are lingering around the map waiting to get picked up. The weapons range from napalms, homing missiles, ricocheting bombs, and other variations of missiles and bombs. On certain maps harbors a secret and powerful weapon that is insured to give the player that enables it a significant advantage over the other competitors. Players can also perform attack combos that enables them to perform special attacks like a freeze missile, shoot missiles backwards, and even jump to dodge incoming attacks or to get onto certain places. Players will get to play in real locations like London, Tokyo, Egypt and even the North Pole. Certain locations also reveals a boss that is released when the player defeats and eliminates all the other competitors, which are harder to destroy as the bosses deal more damage and have a much higher skill on how to attack the player.



Graphics
Since the game was released on Playstation a little more than a decade back, the graphics weren't of "top notch" quality. The minimal graphic features implemented on the persona's faces were really indistinguishable and unclear. The weapons effects were also lacking the quality of realism since a player dies or gets hit with a missile or bomb, the explosion is pretty much a blotch of fire that really has no movement, making it unrealistic and vague. The environment around each map weren't the best neither as it merely looked like it was a repetition of the same trees and shrubs around the map. As for the grass, it just looked like a green covered floor. The backgrounds on each of the maps were really suitable for the area players played on. The background features were decent that the playing field looked more enlightened and alive. Overall, the graphics weren't fantastic, but the fun and exhilarating gameplay was what really kept most players focused on.

Controls
For players that played previous installments of the Twisted Metal series should really have no difficulties with the controls as the controls were the same. The control setup was unique as its own. But for those that were new to the game, the controls would prove some difficulty for its unique button command setup. As of then, to boost for many games would be the X button or triggers but in this game, it would have to be the triangle command, which really made players place certain fingers in places that would seem uncomfortable for them. Overall, the controls were unusual for some players, but the button commands did have certain similarities to other games on the same system.



Rating
Gameplay: 9.3/10
Graphics: 7.5/10
Controls: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.8/10
