D-pad is the only way to play - rolling across the side and back of the d-pad to do a perfect tight turn while tracking an enemy with machine guns as they explode is among life’s greatest feelings. lol
Sweet Tooth was a secret character in the original release of TM2, the code to unlock him was in lights off the roofs of Rooftop. Later copies, he was included.
@Aaron Robidoux man! I miss minion. Got wrecked my first time playing cause my 2nd player (my nephew) and I got to Tokyo, and the dang train double got us.. after minion got us stuck in the tube. We tussle about irl fighting over who lost for an hour after that, with both of us having taken hits to the gonads.. man.. good times. 😅
You never used the codes for the ice missile, shooting backwards, and several other ammo types that use that bar above your ammo. It makes the game significantly easier to beat when you can freeze a guy in place with a well timed freeze missile. Me and my brother would play for HOURS.
I remember making my friends so mad when i would play my favorite, Shadow and use his special move backwards. :D I played this last year and yeah. Couldnt remember all the moves though.
This really takes me back! When I was a kid my best friend and I played this religiously! He died in the early 2000's and this video has brought back a ton of great memories. Thanks for that
I used to play it with my wife until the third disc we bought in a year time period became unplayable and we gave up on discs and switched back to the Sega Genesis and it's more reliable cartridges.
I found a secret in this game. I've never seen anyone else use it, or any record of another player finding it. So here we go: when dark tooth is defeated, prior to the head fight, go invisible (right, down, left, up). For the fight against the head you will be half invisible. For some characters its barely noticeable, some half, some mostly invisible. Anyways, hope someone tries this, it's been 26 years and I've never seen another player do it.
I always thought Axel's ending was incredibly profound for something so brief, dumb, and pulpy. His whole little story arc in 2 to me was always about the subtext that in the end, the true prison was always his own mind. Whatever went on with him and his father, he was more afraid of him than Calypso and his tournament, and had such an incredible effect on him mentally that he doesn't even explicitly wish to be free, he just wants the courage to face him. That, and ripping his arms out of the machine and holding his broken, jagged arm bone to his absolutely fucking flabbergasted dad's throat while yelling "I AM A FREE MAN, AND YOU ARE NO LONGER MY FATHER" is one of the most metal things I've ever seen in my life.
Even as a little kid it always baffled me how he was able to survive in that contraption for so long. There is literally no logic to it, they could’ve at least said he was a cyborg so it would make a LITTLE sense, or a zombie, anything.
@@Bingo_the_Pug It's not meant to be taken too seriously, almost everything about TM2 makes no sense. But Axel should have just wished to be released from the machine.
How awesome would it be if they remastered all of these game on new Gen. can you imagine the level of detail that they could put into the levels. Not to mention the online battles would be epic asf
If they remaster it, it needs to have the physics of the original. NO 989 Studios or Black/HO/2012 physics. Just stupid arcade turn-on-a-dime instant rollover goofy ahh physics.
The Twisted Metal, and Vigilante 8 games was my jam when I was 16 years. There was also Rogue Trip, Interstate 76, Carmageddon, and I think a water one called Critical Depth.
I loved Medievil growing up as well. Came on a demo disk my dad got and I played the hell out of it. A lot of fun memories on the PS1. My dad would set up the steering wheel and gas pedals for grand Turismo 2 on a projector and it was awesome.
The ricochet bombs on New York were so awesome. One of my favorite childhood gaming memories was when my childhood best friend came over to hang out for the first time in a few years (we had grown apart a bit after he moved out of town), and we popped TM2 in and played 1v1 on New York with ricochets only. We couldn't stop laughing and had a blast for hours before his dad came and picked him up.
the hong kong map is like an essential part of my psyche, i used to basically speedrun every character like once a week as a kid, what an amazing and frustrating game this was
Wow... Twisted Metal 1 and 2 were amazing. We all seem to remember playing with friends. My brother rented a PS1 and a copy of Twisted Metal when it was new, my Sega Genesis became redundant over night lol. I got my PS1 a couple months later for Christmas and my copy of TM1! Would love to see faithful remakes of the first 2 or 3 games.
Playing these old games really puts in into perspective how skilled we were as kids, every time I try to pick up and play my old PS1 games I realize I have lost my PS1 skills. Armored Core was one of my favorite games in the world and I can hardly play it nowadays without using cheats lol, its so damn hard, and same with twisted metal lol. I'm super glad I got to grow up playing these games though, they're a part of my childhood and I love them.
Absolutely amazing game. I spent so much time playing this. If only I could go back and relive one normal day as a kid playing this game and having the majority of my family still around.
Bro i would put on infinite weapons and shoot as many ricochets as possible down into the drop down pool in NY and jump in blow up just for fun 😂 or send enemies into it in CPU challenge matches
Great video! Really dig your style of documenting your playthrough while also reviewing the game! Very unique! But Axel’s ending is one of my favorites in the franchise. I interpret it as not Axel wanting to escape the wheels, but wanting to have the strength to face his father who has the real power over him.
1996/1997 - 2004 was peak Playstation and arguably the golden age of 3D era , when game design was still mostly unadulterated no rules no formulas fun and risks were freely taken. I enjoyed PS1 era more than any other Sony era , even though PS2 Is close and had more good games PS1 and 5th gen's best games In general felt more organic , unique , revolutionary , and overall more memorable. TM2 Is still just as fun now as It was In 1996 and the right mods can really make It and other PS1 games look better than ever.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 I actually like to play with the original resolution, it gives the PSX that feel of old TV even when with CRT it actually looked better than in modern monitors (even emuled)

Ah yes, Dark Tooth's got his own clown-faced bowling balls. Hiding in the subway tunnel long enough results in seeing a multitude of them bouncing around, seemingly homing in on you. I honestly wish we had access to them. I love Dark Tooth's custom ricochets.
my dad, brother, and I played a thousand hours on this game. we played versus mode on the secret cyburbia level and hong kong. i was twister, pops was grimm, brother was sweet tooth. I still remember the directional inputs for freeze, napalm, shield, rear fire, boost and mines. (i think you forgot about those) what a wonderful game. thx for taking me back Do armored core 1 and 2! Ogre battle!

@@2473-l4b Tips n Tricks mutha fucka!! Lmao yeah its a magazine called Tips &Tricks, it had cheat codes and tips for mostly every game came out for ps1, n64, dreamcast
Ever heard of Rogue Trip? It was made by the same people that developed TM1 and 2. I remember nothing about it except seeing it at Blockbuster , i grabbed it on ebay and keep forgetting to play it.
This was the one that got me started, I remember visiting my great grandmother, and the neighbor kid inviting me over to play games. I became hooked after that and tm4 will always be God tier.
@ 12:44 i burst out laughing at your bowling ball with strike sound effect edit, along with Sally's "ooh lala!" from commando @ 13:44 and the water drop at 13:51. You're an entertaining story teller with dank edits!
8:18 The first time I played the game I loved it, but it was difficult to play looking for all the weapons and I began to notice strange things, if I noticed that the cpu could recover life but it didn't grab the weapons, then I saw how they could infinitely launch any weapon that They would want and then freeze you infinitely, that is, they had a super infinity bar and infinite weapons and then the harshest reality, it was not a tournament of all against all but one of all against me, becoming 9 vs 1 in the Netherlands, after I started using that to match the possibilities infinite super and infinite weapons, after that the game became tremendously entertaining and addictive, I really enjoyed it a lot, I always played on hard after that
My dad wasn't a video game guy, however... my cousin thought he was so great at this game that my dad put in countless hours getting absurdly good playing as Axel. He could crush anyone in a few moments on any level. I wouldn't be shocked to find he was the best player ever at this game... just so he could piss off his teenage nephew! 🤣 It's such a fantastic memory and I still love this game
Wow the most nostalgic thing about it was the cutscenes and the artwork, the grittyness and rawness made me pretty much have nightmares every night after I played it.
Me and my buddy got so good we would finish it without dying. And eventually without dying and no health pickups. Key was always use the shield and take out certain cars when they are alone. I am trying to fix my PS3 just for this reason
I remember the christmas I got this game. It was perfect. Hard and you really had to know the car, the special moves and the maps to win. It was the best Twisted Metal game and NOTHING has come close since. The comic/cartoon intro and endings was also amazing.
The fatal falls just heighten the fun. I really hate that they started making falls just do a little damage and make you respawn back on the battlefield somewhere. It definitely cheapened the experience.
One of my favorite games of all time. I played this game so often we found useful glitches, like the ability to shock people through the walls with the environmental weapon in Tokyo. And we made our own game, using the freeze weapon to play tag. Man that was fun
oh, man. those were 24 minutes i never knew i needed. commentary was on point. pop culture references were legit. nice work. made me feel like i was playing tm2 again without having to go through all the bs.
I highly recommend Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012. The passenger mechanic introduces a new intensity to play, it forces you to be aggressive when you're damaged if you wanna grab the tourist to get paid and heal.
Freaking brought back memories man! Run down to the grocery store and rent this for the weekend with my cousins. Great times! Hope they bring it back someday.
Your commentary and editing is very enjoyable to watch! I'm not a gamer but this was more entertaining on a late night than the other algorithm suggestions! subbed!! (also nostalgic, loved TM back in the day)
TM 1 & 2 were an absolute mainstay of my childhood. I bought a PS 1 and both games and the nostalgia feels were in full effect. I'm glad to have been around to appreciate these games in their prime.
If I remember correctly, using the level code brings you back to that level with full lives. Which may be why you remember the windmill level being easier. When I was younger I would lose all my lives on Antarctica and new york, but could always just reload the Holland and get thru no problem
This game got me and my roommate through college. Thumper was my favorite, followed by Grabedigger. That phantom ground missile that could go through walls was sick. Outlaw and Roadkill were azz!

Back in the day, at our epic LAN party sessions either at my friends house with just 6-7 of us most weekends, to the later LANS with 25+ of us all renting out a warehouse once a month, we played the same games pretty much all the time. A Quake / Quake III session, an Unreal Tournament session for the girls that couldn't handle Quake, some Total Annihilation and Starcraft, Battlefield 1942 and COD, Medal of Honour Allied Assault and also some Rollcage, Screamer 2, TOCA etc. THEN one day, I downloaded Twisted Metal 2 from some pirate FTP and played the shit out of it all week. Had a complete blast. At our next LAN, I shared the folder and convinced everyone to download it from the network, and it became a mainstay for us for a year or more. EVERYONE looked forward to that Twisted Metal 2 slot at the LANS. Complete madness and carnage. Truly great concept and fun deathmatch. Part Carmageddon, part Demolition Derby, part ... I don't fucking know but it was awesome.
Legendary. BTW. I did not see you using homing napalm and homing freeze. You can press left right up quickly for homing napalm, or right left up (maybe in the end you should press the maciene gun fire button, i cannot recall). I think you can do special (of that TANK boss from mission with lava and pyramids: up, up, down, up, fallowed by the Shift assigned to Machiene gun fire) just by using your energy (right side of the screen; that green bar + combination of arrows). It took me years to find it out without internet ))) Stay Safe PPL.
I have such major life memories as a kid playing this with one of my best friends and absolutely loved it and still do. Couldn't stop thinking of it in school
Arrived in Japan to find a PS1 in my apartment, and this, Wipeout XL and Tekken 3 became my go to stress release for years. So cool to see it again, thank you.
I wasn't 100% sure I had played it until I saw the lava level. That's what triggered my memories. As soon as it popped up on screen I was like, this effin level. Thanks for the trip!
One of the best games ever. Mr. Slam was my jam. My friends and I used to co-op this game constantly back in the day. We used to camp in the Eiffel Tower, backs against the corners of that transporter room. Soon as someone entered, my friend would freeze him and I would move in and use the slam attack to throw him out of the tower. Lather, rinse, repeat, occasionally mixing it up with some ricochets or power missiles. Yes, it was absolute cheese. However, we knew just how difficult the rest of the game was, so we considered it a sound tactic just to get us to the next level quicker. Freeze attacks were a must for us - it shocked me to see you play through this whole thing without using it once! Napalm gets a bad rap IMO - we used to use it right next to the AI vehicles to light them on fire, then turbo away to put out the fire on ourselves. Machine guns are also overlooked - yeah, they don't do much damage, but they do erode the health bar with no cost, and every little bit counts in this game. Thanks for showcasing this absolute classic gem!
This is honestly one of the best Twisted Metal videos ever released on TH-cam. You do a perfect job recapturing the experience this game offered to all of us youngins 20 or so years ago. The only one I can think of that's slightly better is GhenryPerez's multi-part retrospective. Still, you should be very proud.
A fresh TM2 video in my feed? Yes! Sank a million hours into this game. Was happy to see this in my recommended. Fine Axel play, Sir. Shadow main here myself.

This was the one that got me started, I remember visiting my great grandmother, and the neighbor kid inviting me over to play games. I became hooked after that and tm4 will always be God tier.
FYI, Minion and Dark Tooth are actually beaten easiest with Napalm combined with the T-Bone tactic
One of the best psx games. I love the gameplay, ost and endings !!!
@ 12:44 i burst out laughing at your bowling ball with strike sound effect edit, along with Sally's "ooh lala!" from commando @ 13:44 and the water drop at 13:51. You're an entertaining story teller with dank edits!
Still the best Twisted Metal game of all time. I still play it all the time.
is that a Psygnosis logo you got there? kinda crazy and weird that you'd use such an obscure logo as your avatrar
@@KronStaro I also recognize that bird...from Colony Wars?
GOAT
Do you know that you can play as Sweet Tooth?
@@maximilianpitscheider5034 Yeah, you can play as Dark Tooth and Minion.
8:18 The first time I played the game I loved it, but it was difficult to play looking for all the weapons and I began to notice strange things, if I noticed that the cpu could recover life but it didn't grab the weapons, then I saw how they could infinitely launch any weapon that They would want and then freeze you infinitely, that is, they had a super infinity bar and infinite weapons and then the harshest reality, it was not a tournament of all against all but one of all against me, becoming 9 vs 1 in the Netherlands, after I started using that to match the possibilities infinite super and infinite weapons, after that the game became tremendously entertaining and addictive, I really enjoyed it a lot, I always played on hard after that
I wish they remade this. I’d be all about it
The Twisted Metal series and Vigilante 8. Both need a comeback.
And rogue trip vacation
@@jaulloa21Rogue Trip needs a remake for sure!! Definitely underrated imo so awesome
My dad wasn't a video game guy, however... my cousin thought he was so great at this game that my dad put in countless hours getting absurdly good playing as Axel. He could crush anyone in a few moments on any level. I wouldn't be shocked to find he was the best player ever at this game... just so he could piss off his teenage nephew! 🤣 It's such a fantastic memory and I still love this game
Wow the most nostalgic thing about it was the cutscenes and the artwork, the grittyness and rawness made me pretty much have nightmares every night after I played it.
O
you forgot to do the hidden specials moves like the ice ball and jumping, the ice is critical when you run out if ammo
This is low-key hilarious.
26 years later i still love it, everything about it. it was biggest multiplayer game in my country at the time.
I only finished this in co-op. And only with my little brother. A much harder game in solo. So many fond memories, in my top 5 of all time.
Me and my buddy got so good we would finish it without dying. And eventually without dying and no health pickups.
Key was always use the shield and take out certain cars when they are alone. I am trying to fix my PS3 just for this reason
Did you ever use your magic? Like freeze, napalm, or health restore for item use? Left, right up? Right, left up?
I remember the christmas I got this game. It was perfect. Hard and you really had to know the car, the special moves and the maps to win.
It was the best Twisted Metal game and NOTHING has come close since. The comic/cartoon intro and endings was also amazing.
The closest was Twisted Metal
Black, but all the others are just bad
This was like a beautiful slap in the face from my twisted past. I loved this game. Very big part of my childhood. Thank you for this.
I instantly remembered all of the sounds and music from the game even though I haven't played this since around the year 2000. Nice video. :)
This was my favorite Twisted Metal game. I played Roadkill and Warthog mostly. The games got worse when they added 'realistic' physics. 😭
New York may be a bad level for everyone else, but for Mr. Slam it's the best level in the game.
New York is my favorite level and I'm a Roadkill player.
It can be pretty good for Outlaw too and to a lesser extent twister
The fatal falls just heighten the fun. I really hate that they started making falls just do a little damage and make you respawn back on the battlefield somewhere. It definitely cheapened the experience.
its also amazing when your a kid and u figure out u can hold the button for MR slam's special
Only level me and best friend would play. Specter all day
Hearing Mr Grimm's special was always an oh shit moment lol
One of my favorite games of all time. I played this game so often we found useful glitches, like the ability to shock people through the walls with the environmental weapon in Tokyo. And we made our own game, using the freeze weapon to play tag. Man that was fun
We did tag too!! Man I wanna be a kid again!!
@@yup4477 I always wondered if others also played tag! I love it! How great that you also did that!!!!
oh, man. those were 24 minutes i never knew i needed. commentary was on point. pop culture references were legit. nice work. made me feel like i was playing tm2 again without having to go through all the bs.
I highly recommend Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012. The passenger mechanic introduces a new intensity to play, it forces you to be aggressive when you're damaged if you wanna grab the tourist to get paid and heal.
You want mustard on that?
@@baughjaughes5104 Uh-huh-huh!
@@ClarkKentai here’s spit in your eye
Classic
Rogue trip... we hated at first.... then became a CLASSIC amongst my friends. I loved the levels and music. Streak was fun too.
I would terrorize my brothers turning them to ice cubes and using mr slam special over and over
Freaking brought back memories man! Run down to the grocery store and rent this for the weekend with my cousins. Great times! Hope they bring it back someday.
I need more of this in my algorithm
Played this game when I was 6 years old just recently bought it to enjoy today glad you are revisiting this gem
Your commentary and editing is very enjoyable to watch! I'm not a gamer but this was more entertaining on a late night than the other algorithm suggestions! subbed!! (also nostalgic, loved TM back in the day)
The energy moves really make a huge difference in this game. They are worth learning.
TM 1 & 2 were an absolute mainstay of my childhood. I bought a PS 1 and both games and the nostalgia feels were in full effect. I'm glad to have been around to appreciate these games in their prime.
I still own this game. Absolute classic. And the track audio from L.A. brings back so many memories
No kidding. The Nostalgia is something else
Really enjoyed this video. You're commentary and editing is so entertaining. Probably gonna binge your channel now. Thanks!
the nostalgia and ptsd from this came flooding back for me. lol love it!
I can't quite put my finger on why I love the format/style of your Twisted Metal videos, I just love them!
A game I definitely should of not have played at such a young age but I regret none of it and I enjoyed so much
Vigilante justice also played the hell out of that
If I remember correctly, using the level code brings you back to that level with full lives. Which may be why you remember the windmill level being easier. When I was younger I would lose all my lives on Antarctica and new york, but could always just reload the Holland and get thru no problem
Was insanely fun playing this split screen as a kid
ScreenLOOKER!!!
Thumper for life... pink cadi but man that flame thrower
Twisted metal is a god tier game. The second one is still my overall favorite game
Shoutout to everybody in the comments. More than likely we were kids at the same time. Twisted Metal is one of the greatest games of all time.
“His special is a crock of ass” made me laugh more than I should have
This game got me and my roommate through college. Thumper was my favorite, followed by Grabedigger. That phantom ground missile that could go through walls was sick. Outlaw and Roadkill were azz!

really cool video dude!! This unlocked some core memories, I played the hell out of this as a kid. Total nostalgia trip.
This brought back so many memories of being a kid again. God I miss those days.
This game and Vigilante 8 was all I played.
Back in the day, at our epic LAN party sessions either at my friends house with just 6-7 of us most weekends, to the later LANS with 25+ of us all renting out a warehouse once a month, we played the same games pretty much all the time. A Quake / Quake III session, an Unreal Tournament session for the girls that couldn't handle Quake, some Total Annihilation and Starcraft, Battlefield 1942 and COD, Medal of Honour Allied Assault and also some Rollcage, Screamer 2, TOCA etc. THEN one day, I downloaded Twisted Metal 2 from some pirate FTP and played the shit out of it all week. Had a complete blast. At our next LAN, I shared the folder and convinced everyone to download it from the network, and it became a mainstay for us for a year or more. EVERYONE looked forward to that Twisted Metal 2 slot at the LANS. Complete madness and carnage. Truly great concept and fun deathmatch. Part Carmageddon, part Demolition Derby, part ... I don't fucking know but it was awesome.
Legendary. BTW. I did not see you using homing napalm and homing freeze. You can press left right up quickly for homing napalm, or right left up (maybe in the end you should press the maciene gun fire button, i cannot recall). I think you can do special (of that TANK boss from mission with lava and pyramids: up, up, down, up, fallowed by the Shift assigned to Machiene gun fire) just by using your energy (right side of the screen; that green bar + combination of arrows). It took me years to find it out without internet ))) Stay Safe PPL.
I have such major life memories as a kid playing this with one of my best friends and absolutely loved it and still do. Couldn't stop thinking of it in school
Omg this brings back memories, the Clown truck you could secretly unlock was always my fav to troll my friends
Arrived in Japan to find a PS1 in my apartment, and this, Wipeout XL and Tekken 3 became my go to stress release for years. So cool to see it again, thank you.
its crazy how i remember these graphics being awesome....lol
Core memories unlocked with this vid, spent countless hours playing with my pops!
loved this game.i still remember the d pad combos to shoot ice.sheild.shoot behind you.drop minds etc.
Twisted metal 2 is my game forever bro
Up down up up is Minion's weapon.
Left right up - is the freeze.
I wasn't 100% sure I had played it until I saw the lava level. That's what triggered my memories. As soon as it popped up on screen I was like, this effin level. Thanks for the trip!
One of the best games ever. Mr. Slam was my jam.
My friends and I used to co-op this game constantly back in the day. We used to camp in the Eiffel Tower, backs against the corners of that transporter room. Soon as someone entered, my friend would freeze him and I would move in and use the slam attack to throw him out of the tower. Lather, rinse, repeat, occasionally mixing it up with some ricochets or power missiles. Yes, it was absolute cheese. However, we knew just how difficult the rest of the game was, so we considered it a sound tactic just to get us to the next level quicker.
Freeze attacks were a must for us - it shocked me to see you play through this whole thing without using it once! Napalm gets a bad rap IMO - we used to use it right next to the AI vehicles to light them on fire, then turbo away to put out the fire on ourselves. Machine guns are also overlooked - yeah, they don't do much damage, but they do erode the health bar with no cost, and every little bit counts in this game.
Thanks for showcasing this absolute classic gem!
Thank you so much for this, it was such a great journey to nostalgia
This is honestly one of the best Twisted Metal videos ever released on TH-cam. You do a perfect job recapturing the experience this game offered to all of us youngins 20 or so years ago. The only one I can think of that's slightly better is GhenryPerez's multi-part retrospective. Still, you should be very proud.
A fresh TM2 video in my feed? Yes! Sank a million hours into this game. Was happy to see this in my recommended. Fine Axel play, Sir. Shadow main here myself.
