    It’s the execution that lacks. Laboriously slow gameplay leaves little to get excited about—there’s no real sense of speed.

    Some will immediately be turned away by the graphics and others by the more childish design, but if your PlayStation is still kicking, you might want to check it out.

    While we were practically salivating to get started on this title, we spent an hour trying to get past the very unfinished feeling graphics and lack of any real depth to the changes included in Small Brawl.

    Doesn't add anything to the venerable Twisted Metal series - it just subtracts, and subtracts, and subtracts, until the only thing small is the fun.

    Isn't a bad game by any means, but it feels like a definite step in the wrong direction. [Jan 2002, p.147]

    This must be where Martha Stewart’s evil siblings reside. [Feb 2002, p.62]

    "Twisted Metal 2" is light years beyond Small Brawl. Small Brawl is more akin to a Gameboy Advance game than a full fledged PSX SKU.

    Очень необычная игра, которая хорошо разбавляла застоявшуюся формулу, играли наверное столько же сколько в 4-ую часть.Очень необычная игра, которая хорошо разбавляла застоявшуюся формулу, играли наверное столько же сколько в 4-ую часть.

    Hace falta tener valor moral para sacar esta porquería después de Twisted Metal 4

    Honestly this game isn’t that bad at all, it is indeed aimed at a younger crowd, and that is obvious from the story revolving around pre-teensHonestly this game isn’t that bad at all, it is indeed aimed at a younger crowd, and that is obvious from the story revolving around pre-teens and or teenagers. A lot of people are bashing the game for its graphics, but honestly, most Ps1 games these days look like Dog **** when I had this game when the Ps1 was still the Hot Console during my childhood, this game looked fine for Ps1 standards. The physics in the game take a little time to get use to, but I thing it captures decently what it feels like to control a RC car, if you have every played with one before you will know exactly what I’m talking about; unresponsive, clunky but still lots of fun!

    I remember spending hours playing with my younger siblings playing this game. It’s charming being in places kids hang out only to turn it into a death trap battle zone! Using homemade and some fantasy like weapons take out your opponents, replaying it again, I can confirm this game is lots of fun and if you are interested, check it out for yourself, don’t be turned away by people who are judging a game based on its graphics alone! This game was a childhood favorite of mine and still holds up a bit today, and if you have nostalgia for this game, it will be even better!    … Full Review »
