Game Description
Twisted Metal 4 takes the brutal car combat chaos of the series and supercharges it with wild weapons, wackier arenas, and a villainous new host at the wheel — Sweet Tooth himself. Having overthrown Calypso, the demented clown now runs the infamous tournament, and the result is the most insane installment yet. With tighter controls, destructible environments, and a massive roster of freakish vehicles, Twisted Metal 4 delivers nonstop arcade-style destruction wrapped in a darker, funhouse vibe.
Whether you're flinging bees from an ice cream truck or vaporizing rivals in a rocket-powered hearselike ride, the gameplay is smoother and more refined than its predecessor. Twisted arenas like The Bedroom, Neon City, and the terrifying Carnival of Carnage offer secrets, traps, and explosive verticality that test your driving and demolition skills. With updated physics, expanded multiplayer, and a killer metal soundtrack, this is peak PS1 mayhem in all its over-the-top glory.

- Over 20 playable vehicles including freakish designs like the Ringmaster, Trashman, and Microblast

- Unlock secret characters and vehicles, including guest appearances and hidden bosses
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Twisted Metal 4 was the second game developed by 989 Studios after they took over the franchise from SingleTrac. It represented a major leap forward in graphics and polish over TM3, with fan-favorite clown Sweet Tooth rising from playable character to the tournament's twisted ringleader. The game also featured shock icon Rob Zombie as a playable character, continuing the series' tradition of blending extreme music culture with vehicular destruction.
TM4 included unlockable cheats and secret levels that rewarded exploration — and even featured bizarre arenas like a child's bedroom where players could shrink down and battle among toys. While still polarizing among fans of the earlier entries, Twisted Metal 4 has become a nostalgic favorite for players who grew up with the PS1 era of gritty, imaginative combat racers. It’s also one of the final games in the series to stay exclusive to the original PlayStation, cementing its cult legacy.
