Some people may scoff since this game is, itself, a sequel, though I consider it more of a reboot. The point is that TM:B was a fantastic game on a single-player basis, but tragically peaked before it could realize its fullest potential in multiplayer. At the time of TM:B's release, online console multiplayer was experiencing its pioneer days. True, you
could play this game online, but it lagged like mad. It simply wasn't worth the effort.
Fast forward nearly a decade. With most major consoles successfully promoting online experiences (Get with the program Wii) the time to revisit the Twisted Metal franchise is now. Playing against the AI is fine but I've always felt the game worked best in human-to-human interaction. This was available but demanded a split screen. Now it is no longer necessary.
This is the kind of fast-paced, action intensive game that could easily flourish amidst opportunities for trash-talking over Skype. Perhaps some options for vehicle customization and some exclusive head-to-head levels not found in the single player mode would improve the experience.
It just seems like a lot of fun is being missed out upon because developers seem to think the series is done.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
