Twisted Metal: Black

Yet again, doing another review for a old video game that helped shape my childhood, for better or for worse.... Now, this game definitely is pure, unadulterated nightmare- fueled nostalgia for me. I remember switching this game on for the PS2, and hearing the beginning to Paint it Black from The Rolling Stones; this set the tone for this dark, evil, and gruesome game that awaited. Now, gameplay wise, the game wasn't THAT gruesome. Sure, you had some character that had a suicidal guy impaled on his car, or you had lots and lots of environmental destruction, but nothing super gruesome; that was the job for the intro videos. Instead of playing the game, you can access these videos through the main menu, and that's what me and my brother did. And boy oh boy, nightmares ensued! Seriously tho, almost every character intro video was somewhat traumatizing for me at this mere age of 7 years old. There's 2 intros that stuck out the most; the dead taxi driver that's remote controlled by his son, and the skeleton guy. I remember my brother literally freaking out and almost crying when we used to watch these. Literally amazing! I loved this game; this was the true Battle Royale and the only Battle Royale I'll actually revisit. If you haven't played this yet, do it. You might not regret it.
