Ranking EVERY Twisted Metal Game From WORST TO BEST 

Oh man, I'm ready to watch the video now, can't wait to see TM Black as the best and TM2 in second place!

Roses are red, Violets are blue. The next global war, Will be over Twisted Metal 2

Man, you are starting a war somewhere. TM Black is my #1.

Glad to see Small Brawl higher up, it’s definitely underrated. I do think TM: Black is still the pinnacle though.

1)Head On 2)Black 3)2012 4)Twisted Metal 3 5)Small Brawl 6)Twisted Metal 4 7)Twisted Metal 2 8)Twisted Metal Commend you for not caving and putting the earlier games higher, the controls are really a big barrier for entry imo.

My take: Twisted Metal Black or 2 are the best. 3 and 4 are the worst. And all others fall in between.

i think dark tooth would have been perfect for black It would really signify that this whole thing happens in his head

“I will be ranking the TM levels” puts the first games in order like a Chad

I’ve said it before, I’m apprehensive about a new Twisted Metal game. Imagine the company trying to up their ESG score by putting all the drivers in electric vehicles that take 20 minutes to charge.

I loved the Holland level in TM2 for the reasons you didn’t.😂 A flat area loaded with cars, almost nowhere to hide, total chaos!

We all have our own opinions, so here are mine; my rankings - 9. TM 4 (D grade): 4 is fine for what it is and isn't a bad game, it's just not a good "Twisted Metal" game. It's too far removed from the rest of the series, too off the rails and outlandish with everything new 989 tried to cram into it for me to appreciate it as part of the TM series. 8. TM 3 (C grade): 989 had it somewhat right with TM 3. Compared to 4, it's boosted up two grades for them making the effort to make it fit in with the rest of the series as an attempted sequel to TM2, but is dropped a grade to C for how terrible and juvenile its character stories and ending are. 7. TM '95 (B grade): As good as a start to the series as we could hope for. The way the game controls is jank but I find it charming enough to still enjoy it. I love it for how strongly and how well they establish the world and characters of TM. 6. TM Lost (B grade): Ranked separately from Head-On because I feel like the Lost content is unique enough to do so. Lost functions well and it's really cool to see what the cancelled Harbor City could have been like, it's just a shame that this is all there is and we never got anything more to follow up from Black (not counting Harbor City betas on PC). 5. Small Brawl (B grade): Small Brawl is a lot of fun and I love how they translate TM from full-scale battles to RC cars. Level design is great, but to nitpick: I'm not a fan of a handful of the car designs, some feeling rushed or not thought out enough, very little of the vehicles' specials feel impactful or memorable, and some aspects of the game's overall presentation doesn't feel done well enough. 4. TM Head-On (B grade): HO is a cool combination of Black's gameplay with being a storyline sequel to TM2, but it's not as good as either for one reason that sticks with me: it's too dang easy. The vehicle upgrades make you too overpowered, combined with not facing very many enemies per level makes the lack of difficulty memorable in a bad way. 3. TM 2 (A grade): My opinion the best PS1 TM game and the one I played most as a kid, by choice. My nostalgic favorite, TM2 has my favorite character roster, a great art style with memorable endings, and a way that it blended perfectly its bright and colorful tone on the surface with the dark, violent, twisted reality of its world that lied underneath. The gameplay improved on from TM1 in every way, and has so much about it that's good that I can forgive how screwy the difficulty can be sometimes. 2. TM2012 (A grade): On PS3, easily the best that the gameplay has ever been. By far the funnest to play because of that. The difficulty is balanced well, the tone of the game is good embracing its "M" rating, visually it's beautiful; it's just a shame about it's story mode - with only 3 characters played in a linear fashion, it really lacks in replay value, story-mode wise. The cutscenes are made really well, but the endings are predictable. And the boss fights in story mode are atrocious. 1. TM Black (S grade): Black is perfectly what TM should be. Dark, gritty, violent, grounded, dramatic, stories that last longer than thirty seconds, challenging but not too difficult, I could go on. Black is the perfect package of tone, setting, story, and gameplay. Supremely memorable down to every story beat, every quote, and every part of every level along the way. Easily the best overall TM experience one can delve into.

Props for being so bold with your appreciation of Small Brawl. I played it a lot as a kid but have barely touched it since. That may have to change soon, but here's my raw list just based on my current feelings. 1. TM2 2. TM Black 3. TM Head On 4. TM4 5. TM Small Brawl 6. TM1 7. TM3 TM 2012 is still the only one I haven't played, I never owned a PS3 and it never felt worth it to fork out the money for one even though it looked like a really fun game. One of these days I'll have to give it a try.

Everytime I see small brawl, I cannot get over the stuttery bad frames of the game. It really turns me off from giving it a try, despite all its strengths.

You should always go with your opinion and not what everyone collectively agrees on. Imo top 3 would be 1 - 2012, 2 - TM2, 3 - Black.

We all know that everyone who doesn't already #1 TM2 on their list would rate it higher if they had kept Axel's speedo from the beta in the game.

I woulda put tm3, tm1, tm4, small brawl, tm2, head on, and black , for their gameplay, innovation, story, and how fun it is to play and how challenging they are (head on is notoriously easy but still fun)

idk about the best overall but TM2012 had the best gameplay for me and TM4 and TM:SB had the most fun for me. as for the rest i never played them before and probably never will. i never a fan of TM:Black before because the cars are too fast require larger map thus many open spaces just not for my liking and no one sells them copies here 😭, i like TM:Lost a lot because it is slower and more realistic to my liking, I'll give TM:Black a try someday.

Ooooh. Is Nick about to start a Twisted metal war between all of us with this list??? Lol 😂

I can't agree with putting TMIII above 1 and 2 due to its questionable physics and repulsive aesthetics, but otherwise I can understand these choices.

Great list and great points. I played small brawl after watching you have fun in it and it's a great game in the series.

Thank you for reviewing these games. These games mean a lot to me. I played them with my brother when we were teens. Its ours favorite game. Now he is in prison and your videos give me so much nostalgia

Question for anyone in the comment section. What control schemes do you guys use? I've always picked Run n' Gun since it most resembles modern day driving controls.

My ranking (I won't be including 3, 4 and Small Brawl. They weren't released overseas so I haven't been able to play them): 5. TM 1995: Fun, but extremely outdated compared to the sequels. 4. TM 2: Good game and a big improvement over the first game, but the physics are too bouncy and the ai keeps spamming freeze missile. 3. TM Head On: Probably the game I have the most nostalgia for. The levels are great, I like a lot of the music, the controls are extremely smooth and game has my favourite challenge mode due to being able to add duplicates. Though the game is too easy and lacks depth compared to Black and 2012. If you want more challenge I recommend playing challenge mode and selecting Dark Tooth as a opponent. Sidenote, the final boss is harder on the PSP version due to him having a extra attack. The napalm weapon is also too overpowered in the PS2, due to it always doing 20 damage, while the PSP napalm depends on distance. 2. TM 2012: I love this game. The gameplay is phenomenal, the music is fantastic (original and licensed) and the levels are fantastic. The only reasons why this game isn't first is because of the recycled specials and glitches (like junkyard dog's cars falling through the floor and remote bombs through wall). 1. TM Black: The gameplay is basically perfect in my eyes. Gone is the jankiness of 1995 and 2, freeze missile spam is no longer a problem. The level design is phenomenal, the roster is amazing (my favourite in the series) and gameplay is full of depth. Keep in mind that I played the European version, so I am not taking the story into account.

On the point of Black's movement being too difficult to control is honestly an opinion because I think most people who play don't use the normal/emergency break. I see people just hit the gas an just go forward without any control. The game can move AMAZINGLY and I can not hype enough how good it feels to put your focus and skill on movement alone.

Nick ruffled so many feathers with this video, to the point where his local zoo banned him from their bird enclosure.

How is framerate in Small Brawl? is it 25? it doesn't feel smooth on video

I would love if they made a twisted metal small black …. Rc cars in dark horror movie setting like Forrest’s and grave yards and barns… you name it, I like the feeling more of being and rc car , the perspective is to fun

Nick, tied to the excavator shovel of Mr.Slam as he's tossed off the treehouse on Tree Top Rumble: "FOOLS, COWARDS, I WILL FALL WITH THE TRRRRRRRRRRRRuuuuuuuuuuutth-" *plap*

Love the honesty behind this list. For me personally in order from BEST to WORST (I'm counting Lost Separate from Head-On due to the balance differences, and roster differences): 1. TM:Black 2. TM4 3. TM2 4. TM:Lost 5. TM:Head-On 6. TM3 7. TM: PS3 8. TM1 9. Unjust imprisonment 10. Corrupt politics 11. Testicular torsion 12. Rectal cancer 13. TM: Small Brawl

From worst to best my FAVORITE (not better, just a matter of personal taste): 1, Black, 3, 2012, 4, 2, Small Brawl, Head-on. I NEVER return to 1. Black color pallet makes the game too boring to play for long periods of time to me. And the tone is a little too serious for a Twisted Metal game in my opinion. 3 endings are shit, and it's annoying turning over all the time. Also, Club Kid is a crime. 2012 has great asthetics. I just didn't played it much to be nostalgic over it. 4 is great... But it has one major flaw in my opinion, too much charaters with similar or identical specials. Also bad re-designs such as Grim and Minion. And it lacks my favorite car, Spectre. 2 is amazing. I can't complain about it. It has it's defects, but it's prime Twisted Metal gameplay and story telling. Small Brawl has awsome levels and a great gameplay. Most of the endings are fun for a less mature game hehe Head-on is to me 2 on steroids. It's the best game by virtue of being a continuation of the best game before it (not counting Small). The only issue I have with it is the lack of Minion. I consider it the real Twsited Metal 3 hehe PS: I HATE holand in 2 for being boring. I love moscow for being a great arena for 1x1 PVP hehe

Useless facts: Small Brawl is the only game where Twister, Crimson Fury, and Spectre, who are usually the fastest car in their own respective games, are all present. And Crimson Fury is faster than Twister

GODRICH DOES IT AGAIN!

I honestly thought you'd rate TM4 higher.

I've litterly never played small brawl but I think I will try it now

I’m glad that this guy isn’t afraid to say older games aren’t always better than newer ones. I think that’s how game development is supposed to be, the sequel should always be better and build upon the previous games.

My main disagreement is at Head-On. The Ps2 version looks hideous in comparison to the PSP version. It has this weird candy coating that looks so gross to me. That said, my tier list... 9: TM3 8: TM2012 7: TM2 6: TM1 5: Head-On Ps2 4: TM4 3: Head-On PSP 2: Small Brawl 1: Black

Great list Nick! Small Brawl GOAT

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who LIKES Twisted Metal 3's physics. I never had much issue using it against my enemies, flipping them with a well-placed ram and doing tons of damage to them.

Not sure I 100% agree with your number #1 but won't fight it.

30:37, I didn't know Warhawk was in 2012. I guess you have to have beaten the game on Super Twisted in order to unlock him which is why there's no gameplay of him by anyone.

After seeing your #1 pick, I knew I liked you for a reason! 💚

Excited to see the comments on this one :)

Ive only played up to Black but based on that 1. Twisted metal Black 2. Twisted metal 2 world tour 3.Twisted metal 1 4. Twisted metal 4 5.Twisted metal 3

8)TM 2012: Thought it was a huge let down for having only a few characters and the stupid racing levels 7) TM 3. We all know why 6) TM 1: Didn't play it until after years of playing 2-4. 5) Small Brawl: Only played a few times. It's okay. 4) TM Head On: PSP 3) TM 4: Everything but the endings was great 2) TM Black: Perfect 1) TM 2: I cant think of one bad thing(I'm very very biased)

Ask 2000+ fans of the Twisted Metal Series what their ranking of the games are and you'll get 2000+ different answers. I got it like this: TM2 Black Head On Small Brawl (all four of these are incredibly close and maybe interchangeable) TM4 TM TM3 (this is waaaay down there compared to the rest, I really don't care for it) I haven't played TM 2012, but I'm sure that it would be in the top 5.

Twisted Metal Small Brawl was the first game I played when I was a kid, and until 2020 through emulator I played the rest of the games and TM4 was one fun to play.

Nostalgia plays a *massive* factor with people who favor Twisted Metal 1 or 2.

Just beat small brawl with every character on hard its a okay game the weapons homing is trash and the the travel time of weapons is to slow as well the game is just slow overall i had more fun with tm 4. Tmhead on just feels generic i wish i could like it but besides the character endings the gameplay and levels dont have soul and they are too easy TM2 is great but i play hard clunky control games all the time because i collect retro games so i can master games like tm2 I think tm1 has more fun combat than small brawl but the ramming is too unforgiving in 1 and rear fire is hard not to play with For me from what ive played this is my list so far 8: Twisted Metal Head On ( 100% Completed) 7. Twisted Metal 3 6.Twisted Metal Small Brawl ( 100% Completed weapons are too inaccurate and matches last too long especially bosses) 5. Twisted Metal 1(tm 3 and 1 are the ones that ill probably move lower or higher at some point) 4. Twisted Metal 4 ( 100% Completed underrated twisted metal party game with unique levels and the biggest pickup weapon selection in the series) 3. Twisted Metal PS3 ( great game with great levels but the characters are generic compared to older tm games) 2. Twisted Metal 2 ( this game and black have the most soul out of every game the color palette is amazing and its just really iconic game can be unfair but when you destroy things in this game its so satisfying) 1. Twisted Metal Black ( 100% completed just a game with really good stories and weapon physics level design etc. Just so fun to play this i like a challenge too so i have a lot of fun playing through this game)

To me the most fun I have ever had overall is Twisted Metal Head On and Twisted Metal 4. The best is maybe Black but I still think Head On is the perfect blend between 2 and Black. My thing with the first 2 TW is that they got the chaos "vibe" right but 3 and 4 got the "video game experience" right.

Honestly head on, small brawl and black was a great run for TM

Glad I’m not the only one who’s favorite is Small Brawl! 1-Small Brawl 2-Head On 3-Black 4-TM3 5-TM2012 6-TM1 7-TM2 8-TM4

I have a hard time ranking Twisted Metal games, because I love them all and have such great memories of every game, but ill try 1 - TM4, this game has my favourite characters, some of my favourite car designs, some of the best maps, a killer soundtrack, and more boss battles than my brajn knew what to do with. The overall aesthetic of this game was amazing, it was dark but fun, it had futuristic and historical features, like how some cars were older like Warthog's WW1 tank and Mr. Grimms pirate ship car, but also had the modern and futuristic cars like Quatros bike and Orbitals Mclaren. This game was an amalgamation of Twisted Metal's future and past into a warped thrillride of a game. We got previous characters like Sweet Tooth, Slam, Auger, Thumper, and Minion, with new bosses like Crusher, Moon Buggy, and RC car. We got levels like the bedroom and construction yard, Neon city, Road Rage and the oil rig, we got all new characters like the Jones' and Pizza Boy and Rob Zombie, plus finally we can play as Calypso This one was my only choice for #1 2 - TM3, I played this game religiously with my father, he got it for me for Christmas by hiding it in the tree, and I have the most memories of this game with him than any other TM game, but I have to admit some character designs, car designs, and the endings are lackluster, but the levels are fun, the memories and ingrained into me, and I would have given anything to spend hours driving the cars and fighting endlessly in the character select warehouse free for all with invincibility like they had, it just seemed like complete carnage and I loved it (I know you can play in that warehouse, but you dont get to fight every car) Also it had amazing levels and the best soundtrack ever 3 - Small Brawl, I loved this game, this was when I started playing Twisted Metal almost completely solo, because it came out later, my father and step brother had stopped playing as much, but I loved the endings, the level designs are among the best in the series, Tree Top Rumble, Meat Your Maker, and Easy Death Oven are the best, it was just like when I would make a Twisted Metal tournament with my Hot Wheels cars, but this game brought it to life for me. 4 - Head-On, I actually just replayed this last week, and I love this game, it has my favourite Hammerhead design, and its got the weapons coming out of panels on the cars, good boss battles, but it also has some disappointing levels and Dark Tooth & Tower Tooth can be hard if youre a weaker car. I did love playing this on console and the PSP (the best handheld console ever) so even when i wasnt able to be home, Twisted Metal was still coming with me. 5 - TM2, this game I played so much, I loved the Antarctica level, Moscow, Paris, and Hong Kong, even though for awhile I had my Dad beat Dark Tooth for me because it scared me lol, but this has my favourite Mr. Slam design of all, amazing beautiful game 6 - TM 2012, I loved the insane levels like Black Rock Stadium & Sweet Tooths Carnival of Carnage, the boss battle with Hammerhead & Slayer, and Dollface's robot were all amazing, I loved the car designs, Sweet Tooths robot mode, and even the fact that we could pick 3 cars instead of stuck with 1, but I have to admit the story was disappointing along with the lack of characters 7 - TM 1, I played this one the least out of all of the games, mostly because I played 2 & Vigilante 8 more at the time, but still an awesome game 8 - Black, honestly No-Face scared me as a kid, but I also didnt enjoy the game as much, but I did love the way the weapons came out of the vehicles

I also have to say Small Brawl is a great game. One of the best. Literally the only gripe I had with the game was piecemeal being a lame amalgamation boss instead of having an original special,the map hes on having little to no weapons ever, and homing missiles not homing well

If nothing else, gotta admire the bravery of ranking #7 Not saying I agree as that has to be my #1 either way, love these vids! :)

My favorite game in the series is Black. Absolutely love the fast paced nature of the game. I definitely wish that health came back more frequently, not necessarily giving more health, but just regen quicker. Second is Head-On. It's on of the best for people new to the series and I had a lot of fun with the game as a kid. That being said for me it was honestly hard going back to after I played Black realizing just how easy and slow paced the game is. It's not a bad thing, but it does make it a little boring with overpowered you can get. I guess Third is Small Brawl. I only played a little of the game at a cousins house as a kid, I never owned it. I wish I could say more about it other than it was my introduction to the series since I can't remember much else.

Twisted metal:black and twisted metal 2012 (I don't have a favorite, but any of these two is my favorite)>twisted metal 1, 2, 4, small brawl and head-on (also don't have a preference between any of these although 4 and small brawl were my favorites as a kid and I think 2 is the best between these even though I don't have a preference)>twisted metal 3 (the absolute worst for me).

For me, it's TM4, 2012 and Small Brawl, with the occasional Black and TM1 runs. I played out TM2 to death as a kid, Head-On is just meh to me, and TM3 is more just an occasional nostalgia trip.

I like twisted metal black because I play it with my brother :)

That's a nice list, you show some love even for the games you don't like much, which is amazing And as someone who got introduced to TM with 3 of all games, it's amazing it wasn't last hahahahaha

TM2? Alright people, get your pitchforks.

tw1 last? that was my first game i ever had on PlayStation, back in the 90s.. it was an amazing game, me and my friends played that game non stop.. it's the freaking OG of twisted metal! last!? you must be Gen z

My list would be the same except tm 2 would be higher than 3&4. I played tmsb the most, piecemeal is the best boss as I would play it on hard. Piecemeal always felt like a threat. Trapper was scarier than minion. Blacks difficulty was perfect but the levels were perfect in sb.

I didn't ever play the original TM or small brawl (cause I bought Black!), rented 3 and 4 cause that was a thing in those days but went back to TM2 (my first TM game). Head on needs better music and it feels like a TM2 remake without soul, and it is too easy, such a shame! If I were a new to TM fan and I wanted to get feed back from the long time fans on which games to get, this comments section would confuse me! But I get it, and I enjoy reading everyone's rankings. All of these games have something to like and everyone appreciates different qualities in these games.

S: Small Brawl, Black A: TM4 B: Head-on, TM3 C: TM2 Didnt play: TM1, TM2012

It's putting small brawl above head on that broke me

So I'll be completely honest tm 1 is my absolute favorite too this day is it in need of a remaster? Oh definitely but I could never see myself dropping the O.G so low however 2 can stay right where it's at😂

I heard there will be the newest version soon.

Man other than the goofy characters in 4,it is second best to THE best game,and that is mainly due to how much you can learn and do in 4. Everyone hates minions maze,Maze, that map was excellently designed with the playstyle if you've mastered it. Use remote bombs and turbo,and you can fly and fight like call of duty advanced warfare. There are also wall glitches where you can go out of the map on certain levels(big one is neon city. You can go out of the map. Look it up. Its kinda cool traveling through the walls shooting at people). It just mechanically is superior to all except black and small brawl. Except for frame rate drops on goggle eyes,thumper and sweet tooth

based list

Nick revealing pick #8 Me: I guess I can kind of see his point Nick revealing pick #7 Me: HOW DARE YOU Love the vids!

Twisted Metal Black, then 2, then 1, then the ones I haven’t played, then 4, then 3

While I would politely argue with you on your rankings, I can also agree with how you see them and rank them :) This can be a touchy topic, but i hear ya and I agree to disagree on some of your ranking good sir :)

Small brawl to match small balls

My biggest complaint with Twisted Metal black is that games are supposed to start easy and then get more difficult as you progress. In black the hardest level in the entire game is the first level. Everytime that I played Black legitimately I always game over on level one, but whenever ive skipped it I've been able to beat the other levels no problem.

Daring of you to put TM2 so low, but that's probably where I'd place it too (though I haven't played 3 or Small Brawl yet). Too janky; the frustrating/fun balance isn't quite there for me.

With Twisted Metal 4's boss battles, I had a head canon of those being the characters to can play and the rest are copycats. I can understand those not having the IMPACT of one or two bosses and one being minion.

TM1 TM3 TM2 Black Everything else is just flotsam and jetsam to me. 2 was one of those classic 90s gaming sequels that expected you to have loved the first so much you were an expert at it. TW2 starts you off fighting six opponents, TW1 doesn't have you facing 6 opponents until level 4. Plus, TM2 ends your run at Minion if you're playing on easy. Just a complete punch in the face.

Got into the series very recently My ranks so far: TMB TM2 TML TMHO TMSB TM'12 TM1 TM4 TM3 Edit: Played '12, I enjoyed it, and yeah my rankings are pretty generic, TM2 has become my 2nd favorite, the worst I can say about it is I don't like how the big vehicles control and the A.I. is cheap, the only reason the 989 games are at bottom is mostly just cus of the twitchy cars and sensitive handling, aside from that I don't hate them (well maybe 3 a lil), TM1 and TM4 are good, they just have tough competition Edit2: I've noticed some more things I don't like about 2, one of which being that cars go flying into the air too much and another being Moscow is unplayable no matter how much I improve at the game also FREEZESPAM, still my 2nd fav tho. My opinion on 2012 definitely changed a lot, at first I enjoyed it, but by the time I got to the second race I didn't not enjoy it very much, too much of a mixed bag so I'm lowering my ranking

For me it's 4>3>Black>Smallbrawl>2>1 Never played 2012 or headon. I think the consensus is Black>2>1>Smallbrawl>4>3. Which makes no sense because 4 feels much better to play than 1/2

My tier list plays out like so: TM2 TM 2012 TM Harbor City (unfinished content) TM HO TM TM Black Haven't played small brawl but I want to. TM3&4 doesn't make the list. TM2 is my top pick because of the driving physics, the ramming physics, art style, soundtrack. Plus it has my 2 favorite TM arenas. Suicide slide (so much death and destruction in such a tiny space) and NYC rooftops. The trick to it really is getting used to the physics. Once you do, you can just go crazy and it's a blast TM Black is my bottom because the art style and sountrack indulged way too much in the darker aspect. It's just depressing to me. The cars feel like toys, no ramming physics (it's fatal flaw imo. I could have adjusted if they had gotten that right). Arenas are way too big, just like TM 2012. I played the hell out of black. It just left me wanting to play TM2. The good things I can say about TM Black is the level design. Needs to be smaller but other than that the level design is as good as TM2. At the end of the day, if you are me and you own TM2 and Vigilante 8, there is no need to own any other car combat games other than for collection purposes. No CC game I have played comes close to either of those 2 game's quality.

The fact that you put TM 1 and 2 at the bottom is REAL AF. I'm tired of seeing people saying those games are better than 3 and 4. TM1 and TM2 were great for their time but there's no way you can say they play better than 3 and 4. Those difficulties were ridiculous in the first two games.

I had always as a kid preferred 4 because it always seemed darker than the others then prob 2 next best

Only played 2, 3, 4, and black... I'd go 4, 2, black, 3. 🤔 ... You asked for it 😅

Oh boy lol...I love you Nick and I'm sorry for what the world might possibly unleash upon you 😂. That being said you made great points and obviously the only thing I'd vocally disagree with is your TM2 placement.. But as the saying goes "Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one and they usually stink"

Head On isn't that easy if you play on hard, but still feels easier than Black on medium

11:28 eh yes and no. Smaller cars are fine but with calypso for example will just wig out and clip around ledges bad 😂

Well I’m glad Black isn’t number 1 but putting TM2 at 7 is a sin. My top 3 are probably TM2, TM4, then probably Small Brawl. I would put 2012 higher if you could use the d-pad and had a lot more single player content. Buckle up for the crazy mean comments when this goes public good luck!

TM 2 is not great. You right

Black TM3 TM2 Small Brawl TM4 TM1 Head On 2012

TWB will forever be my favorite twisted metal game...put idk how many hours of gameplay and yes the stories r so dark 2012 yes the graphics and chaos was awesome but sucks with only few characters TW head on reminded me of black but like the 2nd one its chill and good PvP game TW2 is my first twisted metal game its more of a good PvP game honestly TW4 is more of a good time killer game like very chill Never played first one or 3 or small brawl

I commend you for your conviction, even if I don't agree with your choices - especially ranking 2 beneath 3 and 4, which I think are not only the worst Twisted Metal games, but some of the most atrocious games I've ever played.

will you more fan made 3d twisted metal games in 2024 today now yes 🤩🤩🤩

Short dev times isn’t a pro versus a con.

TM3 and TM4 are better than TM1 and TM2. I totally agree with you at this point! I just can't play first two no matter how much i tried to play it. But TM3 and TM4 were more fun to play for me.

Wow, I couldn't disagree with you more on this list. No hate, it was intersting to see your points. Definitely different from other top lists for sure haha.

My controversial take (basing on how much fun I have playing) 8. Tm3 7. Tm1 6. 2012 5. Black 4. Tm2 3. Tm4 2. Small brawl 1. Head on

I just don't understand why you consider TM3 &4 to look better than TM2. When the new studio took over after 2, they changed the vibe so much. They made the levels look so plain and kinda abstract. The TM2 levels had so much more detail. They seemed grounded in some sort of reality. Like, I knew what I was looking at in TM2. 3 is not like that for me - it just seems like CGI poop. I suppose 4 makes more sense when looking at it, but the improvement is slight and the vibe is still way off. 4 definitely suffers from its roster too.

Worst to best while I verbally poop on each game. 8. TM4 - Interchangeable with 3 depending on the mood, soundtrack is more misses than hits. 7. TM3 - Bad weapons, questionable physics, horrendous endings, bad graphics even for the time, great soundtrack. 6. TM1 - Love so much about it but that feeling of not being finished really hurt it for me. 5. TM Small Brawl - The duckstation works miracles because the disc version of the game is almost incomprehensible visually, some endings are too quick, So much fun otherwise and it really needs an online multiplayer mode. 4. TM 2012 - 3 factions instead of a driver for each vehicle, some stages are too visually busy, the loss of the upload skins option, tedious boss battles, redundant vehicles. Still awesome gameplay. 3. TM Head-On - The absolute worst soundtrack in the whole franchise, some dull stages, slightly washed out color palette. 2. TM Black - Sometimes the morose gets too much and makes you jaded, different Minion between boss and playable character, some hits don't have gravitas. 1. TM2 - Says Holland instead of Netherlands or Zaanse Schans, Moscow was a satellite dish not a missile silo, the lightning weapon only worked if you were looking at the source.

Man IDK. Twisted metal 1 music and first person view saves it from bottom place. Twisted metal Black is my favourite... Twisted 3 might be my bottom pick.

TM1 OG is clearly #1. or TM2.. Black is good too..
