Twisted Metal III Video Review

Gaming Pastime reviews Twisted Metal III for the PlayStation. Considered to be one of the worst games in the series, it has problems, but calling it the worst is a bit extreme.
Twisted Metal III was developed and published by 989 Studios, released in October, 1998 (NA). Despite the hate this game gets, it still managed to achieve the "Greastest Hits" status later on. One could say Twisted Metal III is a rehash of Twisted Metal 2.

SingleTrac were sold to GT Interactive by their parent company, where they made Rogue Trip and Critical Depth, both Twisted Metal like games (In fact most people feel Rogue Trip is the true Twisted Metal III)

[@Gamingpastime64]

Yeah. I should play it. I own it but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

[@Larry]

@@Gamingpastime64 Oh if you're a fan of Twisted Metal you absolutely must!!! It really is the game TM3 would have been if SingleTrac had developed it. But you'll probably be gutted it wasn't part of your childhood.

[@jeremybriggs6951]

@@Larry Hell that game is far far better than part one or two!!

[@punklover99]

Hello you

[@RacerC45]

I think most people blame 989 studios for 'ruining' the Twisted Metal series even series creator David Jaffe admits that 989 didn't fully understand the world of Twisted Metal, at least according to my knowledge.

[@Ckypwnd]

British Media Bully I loved 3 and 4

[@overcastskyline1747]

Yea and tm ps3 was trash, he should have just handed off the ip to developers who really liked the franchise for what it was

[@JimBuck]

Thanks for the review of this, at the time of the review, 19-yr-old game! :) Yeah, it was pretty hammered on at the time, but it sold amazingly well, and it's crazy we got the game out the door in 10.5 months without having had access to the original source code and art. "The amount of opponents that spawn in increases as you progress through the stages. I don’t really have a problem with it but I just don’t understand the reason for this. Maybe it was to help keep a solid frame rate but it just seems odd and unexpected when it first happens." - Yes, we did this for framerate reasons. It may have even been my idea, but I was the one to implement it. I was bummed we couldn't have all the cars at once. "One of the bigger problems I had with the first two games was the AI. AI opponents only seemed to go after you and would never kill each other intentionally." - In the first two games, the AI had no knowledge of each other and only attacked each other coincidentally if/when they were on the same AI path. "There’s absolutely nothing negative about the deathmatch mode and I really wish these kinds of options returned in future games when David Jaffe was directing the series again." - I was the one that implemented deathmatch mode (among other things), and many of those options were heavily influenced by deathmatch playing on our team of games like Quake 2.

[@Gamingpastime64]

Very cool to get some confirmation on these things. I still say 3 is extremely underrated.

[@JimBuck]

@@Gamingpastime64 Hah, I agree. The AI was definitely innovative for that time in this genre. I would love to re-master TM3, especially at least bringing in some of the rendering tech I developed for TM4. TM4's graphics enhancements with TM3's overall play/feel would be a combo I'd love to try, maybe adding in the physics changes in TM4 to reduce the flipping over issues.

[@fr778]

Some time ago I saw a video with an early build of tm3 with placeholder cars etc. I would like to test that version

[@JimBuck]

@@fr778 Are you referring to this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6G9i42Jn9uYoMU .. somewhere someone has that build. I think that was our first build that ran from a disk since it looks insanely early on (both cars and levels that we didn't ship with).

[@hunterkrovac]

@@JimBuck That's in the hands of a private collector. I highly doubt they'll dump it. Hopefully they change their mind for Project Deluge.

[@BattleFighters2]

Oh and the music!! The music always made me come back!! Plus it was playable on a CD player. Huge bonus!!!

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Is Slayer on this game's soundtrack

[@isaacthelastn7687]

Also my first introduction into the Twisted Metal series & I honestly really enjoyed it same with TM4 Edit: I also remember using some crazy bonkers cheat codes like missiles sending enemies flying across the screen & infinite ammo. I used to have rapid ricochet attack that made things absolutely nuts lol

[@NinjaSushi2]

Twisted Metal 3 was a great game. I even remember it having the ability to take the game CD and put it in a CD player and listen to Rob Zombie.

[@LouSassoleSledgecock]

Most PS1 games had that ability at least in the beginning

[@spectr__]

So, I played this a lot and just now realizing Firestarter was actually the guy from The Prodigy?

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Coulda used Prodigy's music, this game has shitty music

[@14714623]

the stories really took me out of it for this one. I also don't understand why darkside was a boss, and prime evil was op to the point where it wasn't fun. I did enjoy things about this game. I honestly agree with David Jaffe when he said 3 and 4 weren't necessarily bad games, they were just bad twisted metal games.

[@kylepac]

I lost a lot of respect for Jaffe after he headed TM2012 with a helicopter, racing, 3 characters for 12 vehicles, and 6 vehicles having the same special in a Twisted Metal game. TM3 is more of a TM game than TM2012 ever will be.

[@randomwhitedude9227]

@@kylepac completely agree

[@DerekTheRubbish]

Great review man. True it had its flaws but this game was FUN! Anyone that says otherwise never truly gave it a shot... and that in itself is a shame.

[@francisconieva5716]

You get to love this game in the hardest difficult Pure Lunacy. Thanks for this review , it was hard to me see a lot of unfair hate for TM3 .

[@LordDurandal]

Really good review! This coming from a person that loves TM2 and I thought the gameplay for TM3 was great! The only thing I didn't like was the story/characters changes.

[@kylepac]

Very well done review. I grew up on TM1 and 2 and I like 3 way more than either of them and always have. I remember whenever TM2012 was coming out and I was fooling around on the internet trying to figure out a release date and I first discovered the hatred a lot of gamers had for 3 and was in absolute disbelief. 3 got so many things right and better than 2 or 1 ever did. They had a bunch of diverse specials including my favorite in the entire series of Club Kid, they had a lot of varied maps including two of my favorite (LA and London), they got the cartoony comic book feel which I much prefer to the overly violent and real life cut scenes Jaffe loves to spit out, the AI had the perfect balance of focusing on you but more than willing to fight eachother so it actually felt like you made it out of a every man for themselves dog fight rather than the newer game where you just feel pissed off because it's everyone vs you. I could go on buy life is short so I will end with this Black > 3 > Head On > 2012> 4 > 2 > 1.

[@jcrami3504]

This was also my introduction to Twisted Metal, and I loved it! Also the intro with Rob Zombie's Meet The Creeper will forever be a cherished childhood memory.

[@J.Wolf90]

Haha I remember the song super beast is this game

[@RacerC45]

I'm going to admit, I remember playing this game a lot as a kid than the others in the series because that's the game I played more. I wasn't aware of the negative reception this game had until a few years ago.

[@Toomnyusernae]

left right down, left right down, left right down ^_^ It's amazing how much fun some multiple specials can be. I remember making a chart to see what the damage ratings were like for all of the characters. If TM3 is your favourite, one of the most useful tricks in the game is to enter the jump command when moving off a ramp to increase your range instead of waste turbo. Outlaw was my favourite. Zapping people into the sky or just draining their health really fast was fun. Oh, and Club Kid. The Pull on that move was especially fun like in Calypso's blimp on the second level. It was enough to pull people up. That or cause a small little black hole full of fire and pullet damage in the corner. I think I'll go play that tonight now.

[@lordvlygar2963]

Please review TM1, TM4, and TM Head On. I love your reviews of all the TM games, so far. Perhaps, maybe even do a review of Rogue Trip?

[@lordvlygar2963]

It's because of this game that I checked out Pitchshifter. They are a band that has drastically changed their sound. I highly suggest checking out their first two albums which are the epitome of Industrial Metal. From there, some band members shifted around and they changed their sound to what you hear in this game; a more Techno-Punk sound.

[@razordoom1]

I had no idea people hated this game so much, it was also my introduction to the series.

[@Nobunaga1983]

When you drive in tm3, backrounds and objects have this subtle bouncing effect when it comes towards you it's not smooth like in Twisted one or two

[@georget10i]

TM2 and TM3 are my favorites of the series and I've played both for so many hours when I was a teen. They are very different games though. I liked the stories and presentation on TM2 more, the soundtrack was awesome and each stage had a very memorable music to it (did not care for Rob Zombie soundtrack in TM3). The stages were awesome! I like TM3 stages too, but TM2's were better. I like TM3's physics though, I like that the cars leave tracks on the ground and when you hit them with a weapon the power of the impact makes them slide on the ground (Primeval's special was especially good at that). Some cars got really improved, for example Outlaw; if you had multiple specials, you could engage all the electric shocks at once, bouncing all the cars you'd come into contact with high up in the air and sometimes killing them instantly. Clubkid was great! I like the car designs too. Minion looks great. Primeval was an awesome boss, what I liked about Primeval was that he was actually normal sized, not something huge and ridiculous like Darktooth. And his special weapon was awesome! But the thing is, I like TM2 physics. Overall, I love both games, they are distinct and great in their own way.

[@crazyshit8]

Did you ever do a review for TM 4?

[@cincat8207]

The problem with TM3 is that it felt incomplete because 2 bosses were unplayable, the story and endings lacked content and explanation. TM4 is an improvement on characters, story, content, and story but not perfect. TM4 should had a story behind the bosses more. TM3 had the best gameplay to me.

[@golions13579]

I still remember when my cousin brought this over and we played it non-stop for an entire weekend. I also was one of the few that didn’t understand the hate for this game. I feel like the frame rate and physics were a step up from the previous 2 games. Once I finally owned a copy, I beat the game with every character.

[@separator94]

This is definitely one of the best games in the series. Probably my second favorite after TM2. TW3 looks far better than the two previous games, it uses an actual physics engine (for the first time), the level designs are really good and the gameplay itself is great. P.S. All those people saying they play Twisted Metal for the stories seriously need to get out more.

[@edwetodd7654]

I know this video is old ass balls, but I really gotta give you props for that F Bomb. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you curse in a video 👍👍👍👍

[@ZachFett]

I hope you'll review more car combat games! Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense is one of my favorites. Another I never see anyone talk about was Motor Mayhem: Vehicular Combat League.

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

Motor mayhem is fucking awesome, it's got a good variety of weapons than tm3 can hope to achieve!

[@jeffextreme5498]

I really loved this game. What's really ingrained in my memory is the soundtrack. I hadn't played 1 and 2 so I can't compare. But this soundtrack was incredible.

[@Demonizer68]

To this day, I don't know why TM3 (or TM4 and SMall Brawl) never made it to Australian shores, but from what I saw of the game on youtube, it didn't seem that bad. I will admit that the characters just felt wrong, but I can also say that I would've at least tried it.

[@gokage617]

I love TM3..I have nothing but good memories...I remember me and my friends would go to London add alot of minions and club kids with infinite specials...that was so much fun and crazy...this game was just straight fun as a kid...

[@thegreatfox1142]

I still like TM3. I prefer Auger and Thumper myself, Auger for his armor and Thumper for his mobility. And both can very quickly deal with Prime Evil on the blimp if you use their specials to throw/launch him into the pit on the bottom.

[@levipayne801]

8:34 I never noticed the ad for CART World Series there until today

[@ultimatedesingers]

Honestly, my only real problem with Twisted Metal III is the fact that you have some pretty impressive graphics for the cutscenes(not that I minded the cool, if not cheesy comic bookish cutscenes from the second game) for the time yet the character designs looked way too cartoony and each ending is a really unsatisfying two-second joke. Especially since you have to beat the whole game with each character to see a two second joke(at least before the advent of KZbin) Granted, from what I heard David Gaffe say(I think that's his name) he said they had a very limited time to make this game and with that considered, this game is kind of impressive.

[@ultimatedesingers]

I also remember being a kid and not knowing how to unlock Sweet Tooth and being jealous of that little kid from the Adam Sandler movie "Big Daddy" because in a scene you can see the kid playing TMIII as Sweet Tooth

[@vinniecorleone62]

A solid profile on the game, as an older gamer & fan of the series since it's launch I bought "Twisted Metal 3" the day it came out, I think reflecting back on it I was vastly disappointed with the graphics (favorite cars being so different & lackluster looking power-ups) compared to SingleTrac's 2 previous games & quickly gave the game away after only one sitting with it, I played & beat both games on Hard with the previous games & all the vehicles. Since then I've recently picked "TM3" up again & will look for the 4th game as well, I suppose as a kid & being it was your first game in the series you built an affection for this 3rd one, it's all naturally relative to the gamer & where they were at the time, I was 32 years old when the first "Twisted Metal" came out.

[@AllGamingStarred]

3:28 castiel is in TM3?

[@MetalHorrorGamer]

I’m right there with you. While I did try TM2 first but it didn’t make a huge impression on me. But TM3 was the first One I owned and it’s where my love for the series started. TM3 is still very much playable today.

[@TheOrisya]

I love thumper in this game. I used to lure and freeze enemies including primeval on the blimp. and just use my special to push them to the pit.

[@sergiomendoza5165]

I prefere Spectre and Roqdkill.

[@ced214]

3 was ok but the thing is number 2 was like dam near perfect

[@SuperCuttyBlackSow]

There any explanation as to why Calypso is @#$%ing brownish green and covered in oil?

[@mikeall7012]

I was with twisted metal from the beginning and I loved this game. Mainly for the multiplayer. Me and my friends preferred 3 over the other two games and would play for hours

[@uTubeNoITube]

Woah woah woah I do not hate TM3! I have a lot of nostalgia and fun memories and LOVED this game as a teen. I played TM3 and TM2 probably equally and loved both!

[@gamernaut8864]

TM III is the only Twisted Metal game that supports SYSTEM LINK. This title and Rogue Trip are the only two car combat games on the PS1 with this feature. It's nice to battle side-by-side with a friend, each with your own TV screen. 4-PLAYER action is also better with split screen on 2 linked consoles.

[@austinstringfield8854]

Did the machine guns actually do damage? I could never tell

[@KaitoSuperweapon667]

This may be David Jaffe’s and the fanbase’s least favorite Twisted Metal game, but it’s still a good game. In the storyline they kept the driver of Warthog, Mr.Grimm (until the 4th game) and Minion (sort of) consistent. Darkside’s driver Mr.Ash never had an alliance with Calypso, Marcus Kane is a criminally insane homeless man, Axel’s story never occurred, drivers of Outlaw now no longer want to put an end to Calypso’s evil doings, Needles Kane is supposed to be a serial killer (you think he’d want candy and ice cream!?) and Minion would want to take Calypso first before returning to hell. This is non-canon.

[@DanielSanchez-dl7jw]

would you ever do a review on twisted metal 4 or small brawl

[@Gamingpastime64]

Absolutely

[@YaBoiGuzma]

The moment I saw this all my memories of this game came flooding back to me. This was the second PlayStation game I ever played next to Spyro.

[@Betapvnk]

I used to pop it in my CD player and blast Rob Zombie 🤘🏻

[@PolarisCastillo]

Who did the amazing track for London? That guitar masterpiece is fucking incredible play to, and I sti bump the TM3 disc in my cd player when I drive just for that track. It recalls all the great heavy metal from the first two games.

[@barneyDcaller]

[@gluedtogames]

I remember this game looking great but hating most of it. The music was the best part.

[@sebastianjerez4189]

Glad to hear that i´m not the only one that loves this game. My favorte one, actually (yup, hate me), probably because was my first Ps1 game. i still play it to this day.

[@GoldStandardTrains]

Wasn't Minions password like right right right, left left. This game was great and I played it for hours. London was also my favorite level as well.

[@TreyTrimble]

I definitely enjoyed the video AND respect your opinion haha. But I do have to say Twisted Metal 2 cars handled much better to me than TM3. TM2 and Black are favs for me. Meet the Creeper I heard first from TM3 and is also my favorite Rob Zombie song!

[@spectre_222]

Saaame. This game is an overly-hated, criminally underrated game. I also grew up playing this game, and it is still definitely one of my favorites in the series along with 4. If you can get past the goofy stories (which most hardcore fans seem not to be able to do.) , this is an overall GREAT game.

[@levertorange62]

Man i agree with you on this one this is the game that got me into twisted metal and i love this game better.. Yeah the story is horrible but the gameplay and everything is just fun and i like the music

[@lorigilmore4854]

I'm sorry but I totally disagree. Twisted Metal 2 has looks way better from the cut scenes to gameplay. Twisted Metal 2 had almost a cartoony art style and was much more colorful. Twisted Metal 3 is hard to look at. Even in 1998 the reason this game is so hated is the developers missed the style and creativity of the second game. Best example is the story and cutsecnes. No comparison

[@TriWaZe]

@Stephen Thomas Not really. Coming from someone who started this series with 2 and still consider 2 the best by far. I absolutely loved 3 and 4. Played all of them equally. Beat the game with every character in all of them including small brawl. Each has their own charms. Yes I will always pick 2 over all of them but they aren't nearly as bad as people say they are.

[@uppercutgrandma4425]

3 lost all personality, and black took itself way too seriously.

[@kevinvandeford5562]

I like to pretend Twisted Metal is just an alternate reality of Mortal Kombat , and all the fighters alter egos like Axel is just Jax ect

[@casedistorted]

I preferred Minion from TM2, he was the coolest version of himself there. TM3's Minion just looks like a middle schoolers wet dream of spikes and "coolness" lol, but Flower Power also looks like her neck is broken from turning her head that much. I loved this game as a kid, but hated the CGI cut scenes compared to TM2's stylish artwork.

[@zero-theaveragegamer1159]

My brother and I love Twisted Metal and when 3 came out we got it for Christmas. The presents from my aunt or sitting there under the tree for over a week. My brother and I knew it was twisted metal 3 in the game shaped package so we cleverly slit it open and took the game out of the wrapping and played it two nights in a row before officially opening it on Christmas Day. We had heard that you could be minion and Sweet Tooth but didn't have a password so we had to do the first and only time ever calling a hotline and got the password for both.

[@AllGamingStarred]

Can you review Rogue trip? I loved that game as a kid

[@lazerbladebrennerpurdy8314]

The one thing I hated about tm3 is that taller vehicles like sweet tooth and darkside have a tendency to flip over a lot. Some of the reworked specials I really loved. Such as the exploding sweet tooth head, which a direct hit, you can get maximum damage. Thumper’s reworked special, I also really like. The one I don’t like is Roadkill’s reworked special. Since it’s a slightly more powerful motar weapon. Not to mention Hammerhead’s ramming special I can’t get behind. The one that I’d considered op when you spam the rear attack is Outlaw’s Omni Tazer. If you have enough specials, you can hit a vehicle and make it fly high enough in the sky for an instant kill.

[@alan419barriga]

I started off with Twisted Metal 2 and loved it, then I played Twisted Metal 3 and loved it too. I then played the 1st one and it was yuck I then I got the fourth one for Christmas and didn’t like it as much. The vehicles looked too small and I missed the F1 car. I also got Vigilante 8 Second Offence during that time so that took most of my time. If you haven’t done it yet, would you please review both Vigilante games?!!?

[@simonbelmont65]

I really hate what they did to HammerHead after the first Twisted Metal. In the very first Twisted Metal, Hammerhead was one of the best vehicles if not the best and his sound he made when he used his monster crusher special was so awesome!! In Twisted Metal 2, Hammerhead is now one of the worst vehicles in the game. So he went from being the best in the previous game to basically the worst. In Twisted Metal 3, they made Hammerhead a granny??? Why in the hell would they do that??? What grandma would drive a monster truck?? Come one!!

[@JosephHood83]

It is a fun game to play and very nostalgic, but there is no excuse for the shitty ending scenes. "Your wish is to stay home and watch tv" "Your wish is to have a BBQ" like wtf? This is the best they can think of?

[@ZackBreaker]

I honestly dont hate TM3 personally I played 2 more but that's just because I grew up playing it. I played tm2 to the point where I had memorized the codes for the game. Not just infinate weapons and God mode but use minions special and mega guns. TM2 was awesome

[@mrsshayful]

This is the first game I played in the series and man, good ole memories of me and my mother beating the game with every character 😢❤

[@hypertensionfilms5439]

Same. Good times 😪

[@Darth234Ravenous]

I think sweet tooths' ending could have worked with more depth. Instead of ice cream he makes "I Scream" treats where he murders people, butchers their bodies and turns them into sundaes made of gore. Part of the thrill for him is hearing his victims scream in horror and pain as he does it. His wish is to turn the entire human race into the ultimate I Scream treat. When he wins, Calypso gives Sweet Tooth the means to kill everyone on earth and create a massive mountain out of their bodies. He only feels glee for a moment until he realizes there is no one left to kill. No more killing, no more screaming, no more I Scream treats to make. Eventually he climbs to the top of his gore mountain and spends the rest of his life screaming into the sky because it is the only Scream he can hear now.

[@Absolynth]

I played TM3 a lot back then. It may have lacked the pitch perfect tone and atmosphere of TM1&2, but it played well and felt like an evolution in the series. Hating on TM4 makes sense to me, but why so many people dismiss and shit on TM2012 completely confuses the hell out of me. Just because it lacks the characters so what, the GAME is amazing. AMAZING. FULL STOP lol The PS4 was the 90s revival era and deserved a TM game in some form. unfortunate.

[@Brandon-xp1ob]

Fair review. My first twisted metal game was the second one but I did enjoy the 3rd one. I think the order that I like the original four is: 2,3,4,1 I didn't care for the original and the fourth one seemed way to easy and the physics got even worse. Tm3 was enjoyable and as you said I think the biggest problem was the total lack of consideration of character stories. I like the levels for the most part and the environment weapons were cool. The music in 3,4 was great as well. I think people just love to hate sometimes and I had a hard time getting used to the different feel of the third one but again, I did enjoy it but it sucked after working to hard to beat the game to see a lame and just outright lazy video at the end.

[@yooojeremy9024]

I love TM3!!! and the soundtrack

[@sergiomendoza5165]

I played TM3 without music and voice lines (except the screams,the cutscenes anf the title music in the intro).

[@KokoRicky]

TM3's main issue is its lack of ambition, and its bizarre physics. It felt a bit too corporate, like we were witnessing Sony's idea of what a Twisted Metal game is, rather than what it ought to be. I think there was a lot of potential to make levels more engaging, and to finesse the controls, but the final product ended up a bit lackluster. It's overall a pretty fun game however, and the hate it received was way over the top.

[@residentevilclone]

Never got to try the single player for TM3, but the multiplayer was broken. It ran at like 3-5 frames per second.

[@ZRtheHedgehog77]

Rob Zombie is also industrial metal in addition to Pitchshifter being industrial rock/metal but to each his own of course. I like all the songs and Twisted Metal 3 has one of my favorite soundtracks in addition to 1, 2, and Black.

[@Charles-jj2su]

I do think the story and cutscenes aren’t nearly as good as other games in the series (the only other one worse is probably 4) but the stages and music and gameplay, they’re all realllly good.

[@TriWaZe]

It's not just cause you played 3 first. I played 2 first and I loved 3 and 4. 2 is by far the best but I spent countless hours as a kid beating 2,3,4, and small brawl with every character. I remember going to Toys-R-Us and buying 3 and buying 4 when they first came out and I was not at all disappointed with any of them. Each one brings something new to the table and each one has their own problems.

[@Nainco07]

I first played TM2 and then 3. And i really liked 3 better. You are correct, the gameplay was better than 2

[@hypertensionfilms5439]

I love all TM games, but 3 is the one I played the most. It's not necessarily the best, but I loved this game so much. Good video, dude.

[@bonbonsucre7755]

So where is the review of Twisted Metal 4?

[@Criticcizm]

This was the first twisted metal game I owned. I hate how calypso looks in this game. My favorite thing in this series is the story and they botched it big time in this title. Great review 😊

[@Merricat_likesu]

The gameplay just feels slower and slippery than the previous games. One of the things I didn’t care for as much is the level design mostly being small and empty areas. I also felt like some of the level weapons were over powered. Like Hangar 18 is essentially a race to get the UFO power up as anyone caught in that blast will probably be dead or at least close to dead.

[@davydluan5]

I remember only liking its improved graphics and frame-rates over the second one's.

I love all the Twisted Metal Games except small brawl and I didn't play Twisted Metal (2012) I don't own ps3 or 4. Fun Fact: You can save Twisted Metal 3 (not level progress but settings and unlocked characters)to memory card by putting in the code Start,Start,Start,Start,Start at the password screen.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The control is so bad that simple commands like "turn left" and "go fast in a straight line" become major chores.

I started with the original Twisted Metal and I honestly liked Twisted Metal 3. Aside from the character stories the game was good. I'm on the same page as you with Minion being my favorite character of the series. When you defeat the cars of the mid stage then have that slight calmness before you see 'Minion' pop up on the enemy bar you knew things got way more serious

I've been playing this one since I was in the ARMY, and it's really my favorite... Other than part 4 where you can play as Rob Zombie. That's freaking awesome.

I never hated this game... played the first 4 all the time back in the day... but I cant help but feel the first 2 were more chaotic and destructive, I gravitate towards those so much now!
