Few games allow as candid and open-armed a tour of just what went into making a series as this. It's absolutely worth every cent, and I can only hope that Eat, Sleep, Play's future efforts are this packed with information about the process.
-
We know this is a port, but you're getting an awful lot of stuff for only twenty bucks. And considering the fact that most of the content packed onto the disc is fun to play, there's really no reason for a Twisted Metal fan to miss this one.
-
The only major downfall of the game revolves around the lack of multiplayer options.
-
Not a must-buy for everyone, but a must-play for every Twisted Metal fan. You’ll love the bonus stages, the chat with David Jaffe, and the series facts held within Sweet Tour.
-
Even though the graphics aren't the greatest and there's nothing new about the actual gameplay, Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition is still incredibly fun to play. Playing through both very brief story modes made me really jones for a PS3 Twisted Metal, so go out and buy this title, if only to encourage Sony to do up a proper new-gen Twisted Metal title!
-
Twisted Metal: Head On--Extra Twisted Edition is an entertaining compendium that's lovingly conceived and composed. The gameplay's as wicked as ever, and the price can't be beat. The entire package transports you to an earlier videogame era, and you get the real feeling this is the last Twisted Metal of its kind.
-
All of the goodness from the PSP version is present and accounted for aside from the online play.
-
This is a must buy chapter in the series for Metal-heads and those few unfortunates that have yet to experience the power and fun of the series.
-
A must have for fans of the series. The sheer amount of content squeezed onto the disc is easily a steal for fans and for those of you not yet tainted by the twisted greatness of this once beloved franchise there has never been a better time to jump in.
-
Overall, I’d say that Twisted Metal: Head On - Extra Twisted Edition is a great buy for both long-time and new fans to the series.
-
I find that even if the game is better I still find myself wishing I was playing the original instead.
-
Twisted Metal: Head On has plenty to offer for fans of the series and anyone with an interest in vehicular carnage.
-
Twisted Metal fans who haven't already picked up Head-On for the PSP should do so now, and potential double-dippers should consider the improved controls, the five new levels (which are all pretty good), and fewer technical hurdles for multiplayer.
-
Extra Twisted Edition is basically a super enhanced, director's cut-style PSP to PS2 port with loads of extras and a cheaper than cheap price of $19.99. For anyone who has ever enjoyed blowing up things in previous TM installments (including the PSP version of which the game is based on) Extra Twisted Edition is really hard to pass up.
-
Although there are some short comings in this latest game many diehards of this series can overlook this, but newbies to the series may be turned off.
-
You won't find a better deal than this overflowing bag of content. However, if you're not a diehard Twisted Metal fan, there probably isn't enough motivation or variation for you to really get immersed in the game.
-
The Sweet Tour and bonus ending videos are worth the investment alone while we wait for the PS3 follow-up.
-
The added content and blatant fan service alone make this a worthwhile budget title, and with so little software being released for Sony’s old machine these days it’s worth a purchase for those who have yet to move on.

Jun 26, 2023Decent game. The story is so --so, scoring is great, visual is decent, and the voice is also great

Mar 31, 2023It's still fun for multiplayer but I prefer Black Metal because it has a darker and scarier atmosphere.
