I have a love/hate relationship with this game. There's plenty of stuff I do like about it. But there's also major problems I always had with the game. I always liked the cover myself since Sweet Tooth my favorite Twisted Metal character. The soundtrack can differ in people's taste. I do like some Rob Zombie songs gotten into the game. Usually they don't use licensed music in Twisted Metal games. Sadly it's virtually the same plot as Twisted Metal 2 in a nut shell. Calypso wants to extend the competition to the world. They even brought back the same voice actor to reprise the role. Speaking of Calypso, every ending is borderline terrible. The stages just felt unbalanced as a whole. Plus having some of them with stuff to destroy to stop respawning opponents doesn't help things. They even made both Sweet Tooth and Minion hidden characters once again. Geez I wondered which TM game done that before coughs TM2. The new engine with the physics just doesn't work well. Twisted Metal 4 ended up being a much better usage of the same engine. I do like the intro especially one of the best aspects of the game. It's a bit weird from Twisted Metal 2 to 4. The franchise released games right on Halloween. Which I do like being a huge fan of Halloween the holiday for a long time. To me playing TM III felt like a bad TM 2 port. Maybe that's a bit harsh I know. I strongly felt a lot of major changes could go a long way. I'm not even a fan of the roster at all. I always disliked this version of Sweet Tooth with a huge passion. In all honestly that's not Sweet Tooth!!! Sure I could see people enjoying the hell out of this TM game. I may consider getting it if people made mods for it.

Need for Speed: High StakesJust like its predecessors Need for Speed: High Stakes is an action racing game with a wide selection of exotic sports cars and many different types of tracks. The trademark Hot Pursuit mode game mode from the first game in the series is still present, where players race opponents on tracks filled with regular traffic and police cars that chase the racers. The classic pursuit mode is extended with two additional modes: Getaway and Time Trap. In Getaway the player needs to shake off the police in a set amount of time, or playing as the police trap a speeder before time runs out. In Time Trap an entire race needs to be completed before time runs out, or as the police all speeders need to be arrested. There are minor differences between the two platforms for this game mode, regarding spike strips, road blocks, and back-up. The latter for instance is unique to the PlayStation version. The Pursuit mode is available in multiplayer as well and players can take different sides or race together.
It is the first game in the series to introduce a Career mode with a set of challenges. Beating these is rewarded with trophies for unlocks, and money to spend on new cars, repairs and upgrades. In the PlayStation version the Career mode is split up into two different sets of challenges: Tournament (required races) and Special Event (optional races). High Stakes in the title refers to races where players bet their cars. In the PC version these are a part of the Career mode when the player owns more than two cars. In the PlayStation version two players can insert their memory cards and race against each other. The winner immediately receives the opponent's car and it is deleted from the loser's memory card right away.
In addition to the new game modes it is also the first game in the series to have a detailed physics models. Damage now affects both the appearance and the performance of the car for the first time.

Front Mission: Gun HazardGun Hazard is a side-scrolling shooter with strong RPG elements, and a spin-off of the Front Mission series. Gameplay is more than a little similar to Cybernator or Metal Warriors. The player moves between different stages on an area map. Once inside a stage, the player controls Albert and his wanzer as it moves left, right across the screen. The wanzer is able to jump, and attack with a primary and a special weapon. At any time during a stage, Albert can eject from his heavily armed wanzer to explore. Although vulnerable when outside, Albert is able to reach areas the wanzer cannot, in addition to being a smaller target and being able to jetpack indefinitely.
Money and experience are earned through the completion of mission objectives as well as the kill count of enemy wanzers. Additionally, Albert can recruit other characters through the normal course of the story, some of whom can be designated to support roles. These support characters when set can provide a variety of different cover fire abilities for Albert during his missions. They too gain experience and levels. Different weapons and armor can be found or bought. Essential components include the Booster ability which allows the wanzer to hover and increase its jumps, as well as the Dash ability which allows quick left-right movement by the wanzer.Action Science fiction
