Perhaps someone cut you off on the highway last week? Instead of anger management classes, may we suggest a sleek speed missle or a homing mortar with a 100-foot blast radius to reduce your vehicular problems to smoking heaps of shrapnel? Welcome once again to our twisted world where the drivers are insane, the explosions apocalyptic and the weapons hard core. As the ultimate automobile combat simulation for the PlayStation game console, Twisted Metal III features ten all new explosive battlegrounds including Hollywood, Hangar 18, Washington D.C. and Egypt. You can also drive one of fourteen revved-up, fully armed vehicles, including old favorites like Thumper, Roadkill, and that poor old sap Axel, as well as deadly hooligans like Firestarter, Club Kid and Flower Power. and if you're lucky, maybe Sweet Tooth will toss you an ice cream sandwich before he blows your wheels to smithereens. Now get out on the battleground and make your momma proud.
