Tan's review:

Giving credit where credit is due, for a budget title and for being a PSP port, they did a great job bringing this to the PlayStation 2. The gameplay is incredibly fun, smooth 60fps even in 2 player play. The “Lost Levels” are really great, though it’s a sad story when you find out why Twisted Metal: Harbor City was cancelled in the first place and why these had never seen the light of day.

If you haven’t played the PSP version before, think of it as a quasi-Twisted Metal 2 remade and enhanced. It has the old feel, the same attitude and addictiveness as well. Not the nicest looking game out there, but colourful and easy on the eyes, much more so than TM:Black’s darker tone.

Lots of bonus features, some good some bad. A great documentary on the series with interviews from key members, extremely cheesy ending movies that were cut from Twisted Metal 1, and an odd gameplay mode where you run around an empty asylum/junkyard as Sweetooth collecting factoids and concept art.

As it stands, it’s a fun budget title that any shooter/Twisted Metal/car combat gamer should own. For the low price of $19.99 it’s a good deal and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

8.4/10
