A prisoner in his own vehicle, Axel has roamed the world looking for an escape. A noble man pushed to the brink, Axel will destroy anyone who prevents his quest for freedom. But true freedom means confronting the man who placed him in the machine.
Twisted Metal 2 is a game fueled by pure testosterone. The basic idea is to use your car and its onboard weapons to destroy all of the other cars in the race, cruising around such backdrops as Los Angeles, Paris, and Antarctica. Think of Spy Hunter meets demolition derby. You can race or choose to fight in tournament mode, where you don't advance until everyone else is destroyed. There are many cars and drivers to choose from, including some favorites like Mr. Grimm, Warthog, and malevolent ice cream clown Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal 1. All have an outrageous arsenal of weapons.
