My review of TWISTED METAL: BLACK

How pathetic..

You xbox fanboys cant face that PS2 is getting some great games that\'ll never come to your beloved Xbox??

Is thats what wrong?

Rofl Tshirts, you sound a lot like a bitter anti-PS2 person. I wonder what you would have thought of the game if it was only out on DC or *gasp* Xbox? I\'m not sure, but I have this feeling that you\'re one of those people who would buy crap-on-a-stick if only it carried a Nintendo brand?

Sorry, I just can\'t take you all that seriously. I\'d trust the review a whole lot more if it was written by Living-in-Clip or someone similar with more merit than you.

Before I reply to this comment, I must apologize to everyone before hand because this will get ugly.

I am going to be honest with you guys, and this is my opinion.  I am disappointment with Sony.  Not in a biased sense, but more in line with resentment(I am currently letdown with my PS2 purchase).  Simply put, they failed to deliver....

I can assure you I want the system to succeed as much as anyone in here, but can you seriously blame me for being so critical?

What have we really gotten from Sony so far?

- Tekken and Ridge Racer were rehashes(I got sick of them in a week)!  The Bouncer was horrible. Onimusha was incredibly short and the pre-rendered background limited the game tremendously(not to mention the final fight-esque repetitive gameplay wasn\'t much fun).  I didn\'t like Madden/Nba Live because I found Nba2K1/NFL2K1 more suitable to my taste. Dark Cloud was one of my most anticipated PS2 titles and it failed short of my expectations. Now Twisted Metal: Black(a game I was looking forward to) is nothing but a piece of rehash crap! The only games I like on the system are Silpheed, SSX, and Smuggler\'s Run.

I really want the system to succeed as much as you do, but speaking from a gamer\'s perspective and not a fanboy, I am not having fun with my PS2! Half of the stuff on the system cannot even compare to the stuff on the Dreamcast that I\'ve played a year ago. That\'s one year ago! The PS2 is a huge disappointment to me, and I cannot speak more whole heartedly.

and......

Personally, I am so sick of waiting.  Everyone is saying the good games like MGS2, Klonoa, Xenosaga, Gran Turismo 3, etc are coming soon.  Remember when the prospect of Dark Cloud(Zelda killer!), The Bouncer(the best fighter ever!), Onimusha( the original makers of the Resident Evil) seem so enticing an alluring? Well all of them failed short of expectations!  I think part of the reason why the future games on the PS2 will not impress me is because they are sequels of prior games and nothing fresh(except for Jax).  How much longer do we have to wait until "Sony finally delivers?" I have given up on them a long time ago and I await with glee of what the other two competitors are bringing to the table.  You can\'t blame me, I am a lover of videogames and not of only Sony.

When the PS2 comes out with more games suitable to my taste then I will support the system like before.  Now\'s just not the time for me.  This is all my opinion of course and I know many of you are happy with your purchase.  Sorry for my rant and anti-PS2 attitude.

If not for SSX the PS2 launch for me would have been sad. But i think it has picked up a lot in the last 2 months.

My titles that i play the most are:

SSX
Dark Cloud
TM:B
MGS2-Demo
ZOE

Now if i could only get the following 4 titles this year,
i would be rather happy  

Final Fantasy
MGS2
GT3
Jak+Daxter

Well, actually I can follow your way of thinking here, and I don\'t blame you. I was disappointed with my PS2 as well and a result I sold it. Yes, I am in fact PS2-less now because I think it was way too expensive for what I was getting out of it at the time (I live in Europe mind you). I do plan on getting one at a later time, but it won\'t be until GT3/MGS2/SH2 I think - and I\'ll buy a used one w/ games. But having that said I do think you\'re being too critical about TM:B. Instead of being very suspicious of every new PS2 game I think you should focus on the positive things - and this game might be one if them. When Sony starts delivering again I\'ll get a PS2 again, but until that happens I\'ll live without one. Don\'t let the negative stuff get the best of you though Tshirts, or you might miss out on some great stuff. This applies to all systems, PS2 included.

BTW, tHe GaMe, please stop bumping threads with one worded posts.

Well said Sammy!

im getting this game in about 45 minutes, ill post a review:D  so far this is the only "bad" review that ive seen.  i also dont understand why you think the graphics are bad... ign loved them, and they are the ultimate videogamers.....
here it is...
http://ps2.ign.com/reviews/15456.html

my guess is that there will be about 4 TM:B reviews today, by the end of the day.

OK Tshirts, before you had my respect but now you don\'t. I sense you made this thread so you would ruin our fun and nothing else. Don\'t you think its kinda odd that from more than 3 big sites they give it a 9 and you give it a mere 7. It is so obvious why you made this thread, and that is to gripe about it to make us upset about it. You know it too. Don\'t act all innocent cuz we all know whats going on here and its stupid. So there you have it.

I would like to commend TShirts 100%.

I happen to fully agree with him on this one. I haven\'t played TW:B myself and will probably purchase this game when I see it. I also think its a bit harsh to reduce a games score so much due to lack of innovation.

but...

I do agree! We all want PS2 to be a success, however blindly critising peoples opinions stating there wrong, stating they cause offense, speaks fanboy in volumes.

TShirts is completly right, we need some original games on this console. As far as TM:B is concerned it probably doesn\'t have any innovation over the previous games, like tekken tag over the tekkens and ridge racer 5 over the other ridge racers, and to some extend GT3 over previous GT\'s.

Fine decent sequals with nice graphics is ace, but where does it end ? Will you be really happy in a years time if you look at your games collection and find theres pretty much nothing new over your PS1 games collections except games with better graphics ?

I also agree about the PS2 being a disapointment and a lot of forum members jumping to hype of games, like the bouncer, zone of enders and onimusha warlords. I hope it does pick up but until then my PS2 is collecting dust, and my second hand DC has had more use.

This is worsened living in the UK where games like Onimusha Warlords and Darkcloud haven\'t even been released.

Hopefully the dust will be wiped off the PS2 soon and some decent gaming can begin once these are released here.

Twisted Metal Black is one of hte hottest games out for the PS2 out now.

well after a week of playing TM:B I must say

your review wasn\'t even in the ballpark

well, i understand that some people dont like great games...but why post a review of a PS2 game in the console debate forum? Also, xbox fans (not fanboys) think that the PS2 is just making a bunch of sequals with lesser gameplay and just better graphics. Well, you mean to tell me that the XBOX2 wont have a halo 2/3 or another project ego game? The whole point in sequals is to keep people intrested and to make more money. So, every xbox game that is made better be original and none of the games better not have sequals or the xbox will be crap (sarcasm) Sorry by getting a little off topic...

Why is Tshirts an idiot just cause he didn\'t like the game? Why is he a fanboy, an XBox fanboy, no less, just cause he\'s not happy with Sony and PS2? Just cause 3 top gaming sites gave the game high marks, Tshirts has to follow suit? Whatever happened to personal opinions?

even though I can\'t stand Ashford, I agree with him here, T-Shirts didn\'t do anything wrong, he just posted his opinion

Just can\'t stand when someone expresses their thoughts in a civilized, non-flammatory manner, even when its to shut a loud mouth brat up, like you?
