Twisted Metal 2 Video Review

Ah back when content was hidden by cheats not paywalls, lol...

[@BentDoorFrame]

Dont play a game with paywalls if you dont like it, dont support them. Theres so many games we all havent played that dont have that bullshit. Dont worry that new AAA game most likely sucks anyway.

[@ChaseMC215]

If I was part of the Twisted Metal compitition and won, I would wish for paywalls to be banned... yet again, I shouldn't trust Calypso anyway.

I played this nonstop as a teen. I was a spectre main. The oversteer was never an issue.. in fact this game had the best handling of any games for me. The CPU was definitely cheap. But I got so good at this game I use to play field of screams on hard for fun.

[@mancamiatipoola]

Great review. I recently came into contact with the TM franchise is some discussions on a gaming discord server. I never knew about this series because i never owned a PS. I know that is a poor excuse, but somehow this game series slipped through a crack. Now i am watching TM reviews and gamplay videos in order to educate myself. TY for making this heartfelt review. One can relly tell how much you enjoy the game by the way you lovingly talk about it. I don't think i will ever get a chance to play any of these unless they make a nice PC version, but if they do, i will look for it. GG!

[@entothevee]

Thank you so much for this video! Its refreshing to have brought back a classic title and give us your review on it since someone like me only played this when they didnt own it and their best friend had to bring over their copy. Subbed!

[@AcuraLvR82]

The sheer level of action is what makes this game great. You can have attacks going on from multiple opponents at once using their special weapons to make things interesting. I found out that as playing Thumper in Paris, you get Twister to do his tornado move in the Eiffel Tower with as many enemies at once. Use the flame thrower to literally bbq everyone at once while also destroying the tower. I spent too much time playing this game in HS and my grades suffered because of it lol.

Why the hell did Fox copyright strike your Twisted Metal review? The hell lol?

[@ssj2rhandy]

Great review TM (2012) was my introduction to the franchise

[@garvensman]

I’ve got some tips to make New York and Antarctica much easier. NY: Get to the building top closest to the Statue of Liberty.There is a large blue box on top of it. Blow it up and fall down the hole into the pool. Grab the power ups in that area and wait at the edge of the pool. Let cars fall in and blow them up when they do. No cars will come from behind (they have to jump through a window to do so) so you can safely wait it out. Antarctica: Go through the teleporter with some ricochet bombs. Wait on the island, and knock the cars into the water to get easy kills. Also, be sure to use the advance attack that lets you fire Minion’s special attack. You didn’t mention you can do it, so if you don’t know how, you have to be firing the machine guns and press up, down, up, up.

[@TequilaToothpick]

You don't need to be firing the machine gun, you just go up, down, up, up, O.

[@TequilaToothpick]

One amazing thing is vote different all the AI are. Warthog will lay mines, Thumper the backwards napalm, Grasshopper with the constant freeze attacks.

[@krisfrederick5001]

So many good memories playing this when it came out, but damn is it glitchy as hell playing now. It's funny how you overlook some things. Paris was definitely my favorite.

[@3pICTheAnimal]

I know I’m 4 years late but the intended way to unlock the bosses is to find their codes hidden in the maps

[@rolandmendozain]

[@The_Future_isnt_so_Bright]

Throughout the series , the most overpowered weapon of all has to be TM4 Sweet Tooth's special.

[@theapocilip]

It’s so rediculously powerful and hard to avoid lol. I don’t remember running so fast as when you see those red,green,blue faces

[@voidofhope6259]

Nah, Mr Grimm in TM2 has a pretty good one

[@pixie_sophie]

So... The AI in my game (PAL PSX) attack one another all the time, I wasn't sure if they didn't kill one another or not as I did have to kill them all on the first stage. but on the paris stage the AI killed 3 of them, and on the amazon stage I just witnessed the AI take out 4 of each other, using specials on one another and everything and for sure dealing death blows to one another. so it doesn't seem all that broken to me at all. :/

[@Gamingpastime64]

It's just a shame the AI behaves exactly the same in future title, developed by the original team.

[@zubiddydoodoopop]

The AI in the Amazonia level loved to drive across the lava pits rather than taking the bridge or the loop. They'll just B line to a point of interest and waste away their health. Kinda lame. My favorite thing to do was lure my opponents near the docks in Hong Kong and ram them over the fence into the ocean for a certain death. It's tough but easier when they're on the slope and you have ricochet bombs to push them around. Also the subway was somewhat of a safe haven with the Dark Tooth battle but you had to maintain distance since the attacks could warp through walls somehow

[@zakzak173]

I love twisted metal2 im trying to beat the game without password's

[@stevenl3265]

Zak Zak I did it Warthog i recommend Shield and UP Down UP UP You’re welcome

I beat it a long time ago with everyone on medium without passwords or the sell your soul cheat. To this day I am still trying to do the same but on hard mode. I only have about 5 cars left to beat it with. Btw good luck beating it with hammerhead. I struggled with him the most.

[@TequilaToothpick]

God I love this game. Back when the series had colourful colours rather than everything being black and grimdark.

[@PolarisCastillo]

Who did all the amazing heavy metal music for this game?

[@Native2Earth]

This was the greatest car shooter ever made. Wish they could make a new one with this feel

[@DenOndeBoss]

They should "just" do a remake in the same way the Crash N.Sane Trilogy was. Update the graphics, fix the special moves (so they work everytime), add extra vehicles/stages, Co-op play splitscreen and online + online challenge matches.

[@SibbiTheLynx]

Twisted metal 2 was the first game I ever played as a child. Ah, the memories...

[@Demonizer68]

This was the game that got me into Twisted Metal. My Step Dad bought this and a few other games at a garage sale, ask me to try them out and see if they worked. Spent a good 2 hours on this game alone, before letting him know that they all worked, then went back to playing it for another 2 hours.

5:26 One of your favorite combinations or did you just read the "combo attacks" section of the manual?

[@Gamingpastime64]

That's how I learned about it years ago. But from the TM3 manual. It's very effective.

[@TheMADGOD91]

First game i ever owned for ps1, loved it. If i remember this correctly the cheat codes for both minion and sweetooth are hidden in the game behind burnable paintings in that bowel level, paris in the building and the sweetooth one is 100% in lights as you fall off the roof in the new york level. I love that there are many many cheat codes for this game which also unlock up to 3 levels from the previous game. Loved playing this with friends and finding all of the destructible environment pieces, like the bridges in the bowl level, statue of liberty, bridge in LA to name a few. I'm sure I still have the game in its original case and manual somewhere in the attic.

[@grandpasretrovideogames]

One of my favorite games ever, made me fall In love with Playstation! Wish they would remake it, but not make it completely online centric like they did with the ps3 game. I want all the characters and for them to have all new stories and endings. Also had no idea this was on PC as well, fascinating!

[@lazerbladebrennerpurdy8314]

When Calypso talks does anyone else hear Cortex, or is it just me?

[@pittyxl650]

Same, I had to go check if it was Clancy Brown lol Spoiler... it's not

[@Angrymonkey2489]

The reason why the advanced moves are hard to pull off is because this game is 20+ years old by now. Freeze attacks, mines, napalm, even Minion's Special, you have to pull them off slower than today's standards. You have to go slow with these kind of games. And since this video is recent, it's true that the advance attacks are hard to pull off because the game can't register them as fast as today's standards. Other than that, great review :D

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

There is also another Twisted Metal-style game after this by Singletrac that continues the spirit and style of 2. Rogue Trip Vacation 2012( AKA Twisted Metal 3 with different characters and vehicles, yadda yadda) It's just as good as this game because it uses a similar engine and style, albeit a different goofy story premise, give it a look!

[@Winabagel23]

If anyone here still playing this game like I am and experiences the issues the game has with registering button inputs to do advanced attacks, I feel like the issue is caused when the frame rate dips, in even the slightest amount sometimes. If you haven't figured it out by now, this problem is (mostly) solved by slightly delaying pushing the last button. For example: when you go to freeze an enemy, press left, right, wait for just a split second, then up.

[@andiorl]

I appreciate you. I thought I was the only TM2 nut, it’s nice to have company. I’ve been hooked since 98. I have 4 copies of the game, JUST IN CASE! Thanks for this post

[@lordvlygar2963]

My favorite game in the series and also the first one I played. It's because of this game, tanks became a hobby of mine, for a number of years. Now I just wish another game in this style would come out with more vehicles.

[@Grandtheftauto1998]

This game is how i was introduced in the series when it was still new so i have so much nostalgia for the second game.

[@JudasRapidFire]

I'll have to disagree in regards to New York and Antarctica, imo those among the best stages. Especially NY, I've probably done more deathmatches on that stage than all the others combined lol. Its multi-leveled expansiveness and music make it one of the most epic levels in the series (just like rooftop combat in TM1) Once you master the handling of the cars and know how to avoid ricochets you'll rarely be falling off ledges. Good review though, glad to see people showing love to this series!

Hiding Sweettooth behind a cheat is like having to unlock Master Chief for Halo. The guy is the literal face of your brand. It's almost charming that they did so because something like that would never ever fly with the modern marketing machinery behind games.

My main problem is that you can only play as sweet tooth with a password, but he doesn’t get any level passwords. So basically you have to do the whole game with only 3 lives. If you run out, you gotta start back at the beginning. He’s the only character I really like, so it sucks

I felt the same thing but not only TM2 and it is about all TM games. When you play I just felt that all vehicle's in the battle are triggered you only😡 I mean if there are 2 cars stand next to you one is very near and the other one is far and the far one shot her special or rocket so you know it should attack the near one but it will attack you and not the near one to him. And if you see 3 cars near to each other's so they would not use there special to each other but when you come near to them so they will use it on you. In TM2 when Sweet Tooth is one of your enemies in the a battle with other vechiles and when he uses his special so it will follow you only and his special never end😲 Even I remember there are some map with places that no one can reach you and attack you, so one day I was think to hide in a place like this so no one would attack me then I left the game like that and taking a nap for 2 hours then when I back to my game so I see everything still the same and most my enemy health is full😒 These are reasons show you that every vehicles battling you are against you only and TM contest is about vechiles killing each other but I only see that they want to kill you only😤 But I still really love TM series and I wish for new one on PS4 but I wish they will remove that thing about all vehicle's against you only.

The AI is silly, and their special weapon usage us downright criminal - when we play CO-OP, we will usually target either Sweettooth or Spectre depending on who we are playing as sibce their yse of tgeir special weapons us nuts. Sweettooth missiles everywhere! I named my Suburban Mr. Slam, and my friend's Dodge Challenger is the Blue Spectre. 😁

[@roush26]

If you played this game religiously as I use to, I could tell you the game has an adaptive AI no matter what difficulty it's in. If you kill opponents too quickly, they become more focused in killing you as a group, and the cheese is real. Obviously medium hard is easier than hard hard. If you were as good as i was and got hard hard, its an edge of your seat survival test.

Mr Grim was my goto, I could kill anyone in a hit and run method, Thumper and the hearse were the most difficult to win with, and twister probably had the most self suicides with. However, you can do some interesting with twister... Crimson was a car.. hmm...I don't think the game was as difficult as you stay, there were so many strts, especially on roof tops, grab the remote or richochet to get instant kills, or in the minion level you can hide in the buidligns while getting health back. So the water duck muiltiplayer level, you can hop the walls and open it up... Which made for some fun player verse player, and with a gameshark you could even do more interesting thing in the game.
