The graphics aren't great, but the controls feel damn near the same as they used to. IMO it still shouldn't be a full $60 retail game, but I'm not sure how one could complain about the controls of all things.
Wow. After dusting off my ps3 to play this game i realized one thing........i shoulda left the dust on. This game is utter crap. The graphics are shit, the controls are shit, the music is shit. Just my opinion.

My sentiments exactly. I tend to gauge a game's worth by its single player value/replayability, and there isn't much of that here. It's a fun game, and I'm sure it gets even better with some split screen action, but, with what it shipped with, it should have been a $39.99 game. And of course, in a few months, it probably will be.
Another touch I like is the added health or weapon bonus gained from running over/killing the driver and/or gunner after an opponent's vehicle explodes.
It wouldn't feel so bare for me if the MP worked properly. Every in progress game I tried to join gave me a "network error" regardless of what I did. But if I tried a "quick online game" it would start me in a new new server by myself, which then got populated rather quickly. That started fine and once in game I didn't have any issues. But there's different game types, maps, etc so having a server list that actually works would be great.
I've been having the most luck with death warrant. Except I just tried to update my ps3 so I could play online, and now I can't even enter the game. Sweet.
Well that was weird. All cleared up nao. I think this game is going to be way more fun in multiplayer mode. I was wondering why it didn't seem that fun as before, but I remember playing twisted metal for the first time at my friends house.
edit: DICK BALLS. After 20 minutes of updating, it says I have to have an online code to play multiplayer. What kind of crap is that? If I rent COD, I can play COD online. Not the case with Twisted Metal... Is that common for ps3 games? I haven't rented a game in about 2 years, but I've never seen this before.
It's a recent thing game makers have been doing, both on PS3 and Xbox, to get people to buy new. Needing to buy a online "pass". I think it's dumb but it's how everything is going.
I was hoping for a TM2 with graphical enhancements and new maps. 3, 4, Black, and Head-On didn't give me this, and it doesn't appear this one does either.
Twisted Metal died at TM2. Everything after that sucked terribly.
I'd tend to agree with this, but if I can't redbox to try the multiplayer without dropping another $10 I'll just wait until it's super cheap and buy the game.
