Highly destructible environments and an assortment of power-ups keep things unpredictable. The new “Twisted Metal” packs in more than a dozen vehicles and just as many battlegrounds, as you fight through a story mode (that involves you competing to win the Twisted Metal Tournament) or in online matches that support up to 16 players. Not every game lets you get behind the wheel of bizarre, heavily armed vehicles and encourages you to unleash your inner lunatic. If you enjoy shooters and somehow never tried the series, you're missing out. What unfortunate timing.įirst up is the rebirth of “Twisted Metal” (PS3 rated Mature), the demented and popular car combat franchise that dates to the original PlayStation. So make sure to download the free patch and give Axel a spin around an online multiplayer match or two.Also, a lot of smoke and fire emanating from a fresh batch of violent video games. The more people that test drive this game, the more feedback that the developers get in trying to improve the game. You can also learn more about Axel and his (or any other character’s) vehicle’s strategies by heading on over to the Twisted Metal University page over at to gain the upper hand on your opponents. Swarmed by enemies that relentlessly stay on your tail? Open up with Axel’s signature attack, Crowd Control, to mow them down completely, or just use your biggest assets and run them right over with his alternate special, War Wheel.

Grimm can’t? Simple: pure control of your surrounding area. So, what does Axel offer you that Dollface or Mr. Many players were disappointed to miss the chance at grabbing Axel early from pre-ordering the game, so now we’ll all have the chance to use him and his insanely large monster truck wheels to unleash some wicked carnage on the battlefield.


Hey all you Twisted Metal fans out there! It is my pleasure to inform you that the downright nasty character known as Axel will become available to all players with the free patch as of today!
