Twisted Metal: Head-On, developed by Incognito Entertainment and SingleTrac for the PlayStation Portable, marks the seventh chapter in the chaotic vehicular combat series. Calypso, the enigmatic host, reignites the Twisted Metal tournament, inviting players to join a deadly competition where only one driver emerges victorious.
Story and Gameplay
Choose from 13 distinct characters—both fresh faces and series veterans—each with unique vehicles and personal motives revealed only upon winning the tournament. Battle across diverse urban arenas, from the sands of Egypt to the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Paris, and New York. Wield an arsenal of devastating weapons, including missiles, machine guns, napalm bombs, remote detonators, and environment-based attacks, to obliterate rivals. The goal: fight through multiple cities to face the final competitor and claim a mysterious prize tied to each driver’s deepest desires.
Modes and Features
Beyond the main tournament, players can dive into engaging minigames like destruction courses, tank battles, and racing challenges, which unlock new levels, characters, and content. The game serves as an alternate continuation of Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal 3 from the PlayStation era, featuring character-specific ending movies that tie into the series’ lore, crafted by original developer SingleTrac and 989 Studios.
Multiplayer
Head-On supports wireless multiplayer through ad-hoc (PSP-to-PSP) and infrastructure modes, allowing up to six players to clash in frenetic deathmatches or team-based battles, enhancing the game’s replayability.
Reception and Notes
With over 30 vehicles, including unlockables, and dynamic arenas, Head-On captures the series’ signature vehicular mayhem. Reviews praise its faithful adaptation for the PSP, with vibrant visuals and tight controls, though some note repetitive AI patterns (Metacritic: ~75/100). The campaign spans 5–8 hours, extended by minigames and multiplayer. Available on PSP and later included in the PlayStation 2’s Twisted Metal: Head-On Extra Twisted Edition, it’s a must-play for fans of the franchise’s destructive chaos.
