Opening Snide Remarks: This was the first Greatest Hits game that I bought.
I really thought it was worth my money then, but how do I feel now?

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: Twisted Metal is a car combat game.  The object is to 
destroy your enemies' vehicles while not getting yours destroyed in the 
process.  Some levels are arena based, while others give you quite a ways to
roam.  This leads to some fun gameplay.  On the first level, you need to 
destroy one enemy, but later on you will have like 6 enemies at one time.  
Like I said, this is a very cool game.  You will have a blast destroying your
enemies.   
Liked: Fun gameplay.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics of Twisted Metal are still pretty good. 
They're nowhere near as good as R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, but they're still 
pretty cool.  Everything is made of polygons, but yet the game doesn't look 
overly blocky.  There are some pretty cool lighting fx, as well.  Everything
moves at a nice clip. 
Liked: Great graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: TM's music is very nicely done.  It switches back 
and forth between 80's metal and spooky-sounding music.  It's spooky when 
there's no one around, but the metal cranks when a fight is about to break 
out.  This is a very cool feature.  The sound fx are nicely done, as well.  
Liked: Great music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: TM's controls are good, once you get used to them.
They seem laid out wrong, but you can change them.  The game design is great,
but this game is kinda short. 
Liked: Good controls...
Hated: Trying to get used to the default controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Change the controls slightly.

RIYL: Twisted Metal 2, Twisted Metal 3, Vigilante 8.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Twisted Metal is an excellent game.  If you like to shoot 
things, then you will love this game.  It's not entirely mindless, but it is
a twitch game.  Definitely worth the Greatest Hits price.  Check it out!
