Collector interest
Vehicular combat in which armed cars battle in urban arenas, a cult car-combat line carried by a dark, unhinged tone. Still fairly widespread in the West, its interest lies in this status as a reference of a strongly stamped PlayStation-era genre rather than scarcity. A piece valued by fans of destructive automotive action from the late 1990s.
Better with friends
Motorized arena combat where over-armed vehicles hunt each other with missiles and mines across explosive urban maps. The fun springs from constant chaos and mobile duels, each machine with its special weapon that flips the situation at the worst moment. Snappy and cathartic, it restarts without a thought for two-player rounds where you laugh as much at the blasts as at well-felt paybacks.
Is Twisted Metal - World Tour still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 1996 on PS1, SingleTrac's project offers a world tour car combat with hammy characters. The weapon system, the vehicle selection and the three dimensional arenas install a real identity. The individual cinematic endings, the grinding humour and the industrial metal music keep a wild charm. In some European markets the title sells as Twisted Metal World Tour, and in Japan as Twisted Metal EX. The 3D modelling has aged. Recommended today for car combat devotees and for PS1 collectors curious about a defining studio peak on Sony's first home console hardware globally.
