Twisted Metal

Story

The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including several online game modes with up to 4 players in split screen and 16 players online. Nuke mode, for example, is a new online game mode where you select a faction to play against an opposing faction. In this mode, each faction has a giant metal statue held in the air by a helicopter that the opposing team must try to destroy. To destroy these statues, the player must kidnap the leader of the opposing team and then sacrifice him to a rocket launcher, which in turn launches a nuclear missile. The person who sacrifices the leader and shoots the missile must control it so that it hits the opposing team's statue in mid-air. To win, the opposing team must repeat the process 3 times before the statue is destroyed. There are four factions: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls and the Holy Men. The former were inspired by Sweet Tooth and Dollface, respectively. The latter are led by Mr. Grimm and the Preacher, respectively.
