However, more vehicles, more weapons, and eight new worlds all await exploration. The engine and gameplay mechanics in Twisted Metal 2 are identical to the original. While Twisted Metal 2 certainly ranks among the best Playstation games of the season, to say that it's 'improved' on the original would be inaccurate. The game also had personality - a human element that made you fear certain opponents and hate others, and care enough to spend the time to complete every level. A Doom with heavily-armored vehicles, the original Twisted Metal was a groundbreaking hybrid that outclassed most 3-D shooters and blew the doors of almost all other racing games. Of all the games in the initial wave of Playstation titles, probably the one most deserving of a sequel was Sony's Twisted Metal.
