    This is not like Twisted metal games in series by theory but thats why it is so good. it Defies the normal liking and is very interesting th way the players seek wha they want. But sometimes when they win the get kind of screwed over.

    This game has weapons, better characters, and I like the fact that its not all blowing up actual people.I also like how you can unlock cars and new levels.

    I have been a big fan of "Twisted Metal 4" and I love this game almost as much. I have spent the past 10 hours playing this game today. I would say that it is much better than Twisted Metal(s) 1-3. The only thing I would change is the controls. Make them more like TM4. The areas are nice and I like the fact that you now can "unlock" areas and cars. Keep up the good work.

    While it's not quite World Tour, Small Brawl is still miles ahead of the utter crap that was 989's attempt at recreating the Twisted Metal experience.

    It's alright, but it didn't give me the rush I that the other ones gave me.

    "This is a cool game, I got it from a friend that had a lot of PS games. These mischeivous, terrors that can fight bosses can be so cool. These pint-sized machines can destroy movie theaters to butcher shops. You should and will buy this game."

    The graphics are not quite up to par, but overall it is an amusing addition to the Twisted Metal world. The thought of the drivers from previous games as children was very creative. I let my little brothers play it so they quite asking about TM Black.

    A very underrated entry in the franchise.
    Appart from graphics it's a great game with an awesome game design and good ol' cynical endings.
    Yes, some people can be quite confused by unexpected change of the setting, but again, it's a spinogg entrt and I don't think that it's a bad thing.
    The best part about this game is the level design.

    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-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 Ps1Honestly 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!    … Expand

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

    Except for the cut-scenes, the graphics weren’t too exciting and the sound is just blah. The sloppy control and light gravity also don’t help too much. Despite all this, I still found this to be a fun game once I got the hang of it and I also found myself becoming strangely addicted to it.

    "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.

    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.
