Yeah, this one surprised me with how fun it is. Also as an elder millenial, it hits all the nostalgia haaaaaard. Every episode there's at least one song that puts a "I haven't heard that in maybe a decade" kinda smile on my face.
Seems like a light but fun action series that's not aggressively poorly written. Looking forward to finishing it.
I loved this game and have always had a sweet spot for it. The first time I played was in my sergeant's room in Korea. I was playing it the night we were deployed near the DMZ to secure a 113 that had gone off a bridge.
Cool story bro
I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow. From what I've seen, it's not the version I was hoping for, but am still hoping it'll be fun.
Personally I was hoping for a dark r version that matches twisted metal black story and aesthetic.
I never played Black, so this was kind of the version I was hoping for.
This show does make me want to go back and play Twisted Metal Black though, and any others I've missed. Apparently there was one in 2012. I had no idea.
Twisted Metal Black was the peak of the series. The 2012 reboot was pretty bad.
The TV series could have borrowed from the games a little more and explored the history of a character per episode and kept the arena based content.
The invented post-apocalyptic world and "milkman" plot goes against what the original games was about. Sadly the series will be left as a one season wonder.
My review was starting to get long so I'll add this addendum down here. It starts as a good background show and then managed to rope me in over time as the main characters relationship improved and the various celebrity/character actor cameos started passing through, each using their brief time on the screen to perfection.
I'd say it was about episode 3 or 4 I think it started to look at my phone less.
i thought the dialog was weak, some funny one liners, Sweet Tooth and Stu carried the show, Not Anthony Mackies best role.
Wait, its actually based on the game?
Yep, it is!
Yup! It's television so they obviously didn't have the budget to do crazy car combat every episode, but the episodes they do have it it's pretty sweet. They make up for it by littering references about the game everywhere, having not bad hand-to-hand action, and having an appropriate finale.
Extra question for those who played the game : What was your favorite character?
Mine was always Outlaw. I liked his special of tazering everyone around him and then lifting them up in the air in the earlier games.
I was also a big fan of Hammerhead, Mr. Slam, Twister, Grasshopper, and Spectre (I had a lot of favorite characters).
I also liked the idea of the characters of Mr. Grimm, Shadow, Roadkill, Warthog, and Sweet Tooth. I liked their designs, I just didn't play them as much.
Depends on the game.
Twisted Metal 1 it has to be Spectre.
In the second game I like Shadow.
Twisted Metal Black has to be Brimestone.
I haven't finish but totally agree. Not a masterpiece like the last of us; but it's been a fun watch so far.
