Twisted Metal 2 and the Single Tracs! [Throwbacks]




If you owned a PS1 for any period of time in the mid-90's, you undoubtedly had to come across Twisted Metal 2. For those of you that have played it, ignore my next few words. TM2 was revolutionary because car combat had been brought to a new level. There were story lines for each character, voice acting for the endings, and tight handling cars that could travel at top speeds while shooting missiles at your opponent. Every character possessed a unique car combat experience. Whether it was Mr. Grimm's insane speed and powerful Special, or Axels' two wheels of madness; this game brought a different experience for every character.



What it also brought was a nice soundtrack to listen to in your CD player (you know, those things that are round that you put inside of a compartment, close it up, and then you can actually *GASP!* skip to your favorite song!). Up to this point, certain people were figuring out that you could put a PS1 disc inside of a CD player and sometimes, sometimes, you would get the audio from the game. In the 90's the thought of being able to use your video game as a music CD was simply unheard of. Hearing Fera-Chaka from the Paris level with a TM2 twist was amazing. If you have never played this game and own a PS3, go download it off the PlayStation Store and play it. It is a great experience, even in today's HD next-generation gaming world. Simply put, it's a classic and everyone who loves video games should play this game.

Never appealed to me. Seemed like one of those fads that everyone would forget about. Guess I was right.
