Absolutely eating up the ridiculous character backstories. This was a huge development, because we were better friends and he was literally next door. Some time later, my neighbor got Twisted Metal 3. Unfortunately, this introduction was before I had a PlayStation of my own – so the ability to dig in was out of reach. After an evening of playing that game on his parents' big screen TV (incredible), I became obsessed with the series and the vehicular combat genre of video games as a whole. I was introduced to the series by a friend who had Twisted Metal 2, which most think is the best entry. While your mileage may vary today, I can't express how up my alley this was at the time. This is truly a beautiful capsule of late 90s attitude. All of these attributes can also be applied to the game: A tournament - where people fight to the death in vehicles rigged with heavy weaponry to have their wishes granted - that's been taken over by an evil clown, who happens to have fire for hair.
The hybrid of sounds in Rob Zombie's music is so evocative of the time and place this game came out. Zombie in this game, you'll be burning through the witches and digging through the ditches in no time. And his vehicle? You guessed it: it's Dragula, baby! If you choose to play as Mr.
Not only do you hear his music in multiple games and multiple levels, but he's even a playable character in this entry. Rob Zombie's music is so vital to the vibe of the game (and the series as a whole), that it's basically the soundtrack. It may be an impossible task today, but that's the headspace you need to get into to appreciate the Twisted Metal games. It's hard to imagine, but there was once a time when Rob Zombie's "Dragula" was the coolest fucking song anyone had ever heard.
