Hot Take: Twisted Metal III (self.retrogaming)

I've been revisiting some classic Playstation 1 games, and many of them hold up.

I didn't have access to the larger gamer community when I first played these games, so it's been fun to re-discover them through the eyes of the gamer community.

I've learned secrets, strategies and stories about how these games are developed.

I've also learned - apparently many of you hated Twisted Metal III.

While I don't argue against Twisted Metal II as the high water mark, here's my hot take: Twisted Metal III was a perfectly serviceable sequel and provided more fun for those of us who overplayed II so much that we even beat the game as Grasshopper and Roadkill.

So I'm curious - is it just vocal minority or most of you who felt let down by Twisted Metal III?

I think at that time, no one was expecting the series to vanish for so long. TM3 feels like a much better game now that I know we ended up with so few good car combat games.

That's a great point.

If we had continued to get upgrades on the car combat formula for longer, TW3 might not stand as tall now.
