Even better, it was just really fun to play!
It was also the first game in the series to garner an "M" rating for its violence and intense subject matter. The aesthetic was super grimy and desaturated, and the characters were all lost souls in a mental asylum who joined the tournament to seek redemption in some way. TM: B turned out to be much darker and more, well, twisted (for lack of a better term) than the previous entries.

Afterward, former members of the now-defunct SingleTrac development team (which had gone out of business in 2000) came together to form Incognito Entertainment. While the aforementioned developer SingleTrac had made the first two games, the third and fourth entries were developed by 989 Studios.to lukewarm results. It was the first TM game to be released for the PS2. If you wanted to know what went on in an insane asylum, look no further than "Twisted Metal: Black.Twisted Metal: Black, the fifth title in the series, came out in 2001. Sure, some cheesy voice actor gives the characters some life, but their stories range from insane to utterly horrific (i.e., "Twisted Metal" mascot, Sweet Tooth). As you can see, the story isn't much, but the deeply dark and twisted characters featured here make up for it. The characters this time out are all mental patients, participating in the Twisted Metal tournament in an effort to have any wish of theirs granted. The biggest improvements, I feel, are the characters and the fully interactive and beautifully rendered environments.

The developers went to great pains to create a "Twisted Metal" experience that captured the violent fury and insanity that was only hinted at in its predecessors. It goes without saying that this is the "Blackest," darkest, most violent and disturbing entry yet. The most successful and acclaimed entry in the "Twisted Metal" franchise, the Playstation 2's "Twisted Metal: Black," adds some much-needed darker elements to what was in 2001, a waning series. The "Twisted Metal" series was known for being the centerpiece of the vehicular combat genre of video-gaming, where people in outfitted vehicles engage each other in deadly tournaments. It's what you'd see if you were on a bad trip of LSD while locked up in an insane asylum. "Twisted Metal: Black" is just that - black.
