Release Date: Aug 27 2002

Genre: Shooter

First offered as a freebie in the United States with purchase of a PlayStation 2 Network Adapter for its initial release (and later included again for free as part of the Greatest Hits package for Twisted Metal: Black) this online version of the hit car combat game features all of the cars and carnage of the original game across all 18 stages (including all full stages and mini-stages from the full game) of TM:B. The violent cinemas and story mode were excluded in this network-only version (partially to tone the ESRB rating down to a T) but the multiplayer modes for online play still include all four modes -- deathmatch last man standing collector and manhunt -- and options for power relic modifiers can be turned on to twist this evil game out even more. Online play originally was limited to only 4 players (2 over 56k) and chat functionality was not included. However via server fixes the player count was upped to 8 online via broadband and a chat function via USB keyboard/on-screen input was also made unlockable when a secret code is entered on the lobby screen.
