About Twisted Metal Black: Online

From the archive

This is the original PS2Home fact sheet for Twisted Metal Black: Online, preserved from the early-2000s archive. Details reflect the PAL release as catalogued at the time.

Official fact sheet

Twisted Metal: Black Online does not include a storyline. The game is car combat in it’s purest form. However the gameplay does not differ from the original Twisted Metal: Black version. The story was about a mysterious man named Calypso that breaks out a group of deranged and cursed individuals from an insane asylum so they can compete in his car combat tournament. All of the characters have a ghastly history as to why they’re in the asylum and many of their horrific lives intertwine in some fashion or another. Basically, all the characters have gone through hell and have scores to settle.

  • Fast paced multi-player car combat set in dark, gritty environments and inhabited by serial killers and psychopaths.
  • Removal of in-game video clips to lower the age rating.
  • 8 game modes including Death Match, Last Man Standing, Fox Hunt and Collector
  • 20 levels ? all levels featured in the current Twisted Metal: BlackTM product.
