I involuntarily eye-rolled and cringed at the same time this is how I get rewarded for enduring such a frustrating experience? No thanks. I want to say that’s as bad as it gets, but like every game since Gears of War 2 fumbling over itself to be edgy, Twisted Metal features an embarrassingly horrid rap song during the end credits. Seriously? Which painfully unhip Sony executive demanded that one? Some of Rob Zombie’s radio-friendly hits from two decades ago make a number of appearances on the soundtrack, as does NWA’s Straight Outta Compton. While playing the new Twisted Metal, I had to check a couple of times to make sure I hadn’t accidentally uploaded my own music collection…from the 8th grade. The rest of the score included heart-pounding original compositions that perfectly accentuated the frenetic gameplay while keeping the darker tone of the series front-and-center. Twisted Metal: Black had one licensed song, and that was all it needed. Not since Avril Lavigne’s “Boyfriend” appeared in Burnout Paradise has there been a more mismatched licensed soundtrack in a game. While the visuals are passable, the music is far, far worse. Not terrible, mind you, as it has its moments - just dated. By almost any other standard, Twisted Metal looks dated. While this edition is definitely an improvement over previous Twisted Metal games, every single one of which has featured muddy, bare-bones graphics and super-chunky pixels, that’s not really saying much, especially considering they were all on much older hardware.
