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. It supports both split-screen and online 2 player co-op.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. Twisted Metal arrives on Playstation 3 on February 14. Just make sure to buy new if you want the bonuses and don't wish to pay for an online pass.

So buying early and getting the LE will net you a free game and multiplayer skin, but even if you wait for price drops you'll still get the Starhawk multiplayer skin. That still stands, and now we know that the first run will officially be referred to as the Limited Edition. Gamers won't get to use the skin (pictured) until Starhawk launches on May 8, but it's definitely a cool incentive to pick up both tiles.Ĭo-Optimus previously reported that Twisted Metal's first printing would also include a free code to download Twisted Metal Black, the prior Playstation 3 entry in the series. Now that the game has gone gold (it comes out on Valentine's Day after all), the publisher has announced a new bonus: all new copies of Twisted Metal will include a Sweet Tooth multiplayer skin for Starhawk, the upcoming space-faring sequel to Warhawk. The reveal of the new Twisted Metal's online pass may have inspired some negativity among used game afficianados, but Sony seems intent on squaring that away with free goodies.
