Twisted Metal III


I know this game is like really old but I would never forget this game. The game is simple, pick a car and blow away everything in sight. Well, it's really not that easy as you are up against people driving vehicles with which can hurt you seriously.

Looking back now to the time when I used to play this on my PS1, I can't help but grin and recall the way I tried beating the daylights out of Minion, one of the bosses in the game.

TM III involves a lot of driving and shooting. As you have to do it with pinpoint accuracy, it's really exciting to see how far you can push yourself in keeping up with a faster enemy.

One of my favorite vehicles in Twisted Metal III is Sweet Tooth. This ice cream truck from hell is driven by an insane clown. Apart from Sweet Tooth, here are the other characters according to Wikipedia.

  • Auger: yellow construction vehicle with a large drill driven by Buster Cobb.
  • Axel: strange two-wheeled contraption, imprisoning the driver between the wheels.
  • Club Kid: smiley face-covered Mini Cooper.
  • Firestarter: hot-rod complete with a flame paintjob, driven by the pyromaniac Damien Coles.
  • Flower Power: hippy car driven by environmentalist Amber Rose.
  • Hammerhead: red monster truck (Jeep CJ) driven by Granny Dread.
  • Mr. Grimm: red motorcycle with sidecar driven by the Grim Reaper.
  • Outlaw: police car driven by both of the car's previous drivers (from the previous game of the series), brother and sister police officers, Buzz & Jamie Roberts.
  • Roadkill: scraped-together car driven by Marcus Kane.
  • Spectre: blue Dodge Viper driven by self-proclaimed ladies' man Lance Wylder.
  • Thumper: purple lowrider driven by Bruce Cochrane.
  • Warthog: military Humvee driven by the 107-year-old Captain Rogers.
  • Darkside: boss of the Washington, D.C. stage. Black semi-truck driven by Mr. Ash. Darkside is a non-playable character unless a third-party cheat is utilized.
  • Minion: boss of the London level. A green-armored tank driven by a large demon.
  • Primeval: the final boss, on the Blimp level. He drives a large off-road vehicle. Primeval is a non-playable character except by using a third-party cheat, and is the only character so far who has yet to be accessed as a playable character in any future Twisted Metal series. He was called "Head Hunter" during production.
