Carmageddon series can be compared when it comes to twisted violence and car destruction. Its not that weapon based like twisted metal, its more about crashing (though weapon power ups exist), but in that its unbeatable.

Best of the series is imho carmageddon 2, its a bit comic in graphics, but from a technical aspekt it uses incredible technology, even up to today I can't think of another game which has such good real-time car deformation routines as carmageddon 2. And in fact, carmageddon 2 was the first game ever to use ragdoll effects, in 1998 (!), maybe 3 years before hitman 1 used them. The game has very well working physics engine, which allows a very high interaction with environment as well.

so technically speaking carma 2 was ahead of its time, not visually outstanding, but with amazing engine features in terms of physics and interaction. Still unbeatend until today i'd even say Very Happy

The games all about driving over poor pedestrians and most of all destroying your opponent with sick power ups and violent crashs. You've got huge free roaming levels with tons of secret places. I've played pretty much every car combat game out there (including twisted metal series and interstate 76 and 82) but none of them came even close to the game experience carmageddon 2 gave you.

Get Carmageddon 2. Carma 3 was a disappointment, its not better, in fact even worse when it comes to physics etc.

This reminds me of the time I bought Twisted Metal Black for the PS2 because some knob on Gamespot scored the game 9.5 out of 10, I stopped taking them seriously after that 9.5 my ass. Razz

Flatout came out a while ago by the way and alot of people rate it very highly. Mobile Forces is a fairly old FPS game in the style of Counter Strike with nicely implemented vehicles and a good selection of game modes, nice single and multi play options as well (bare in mind though it was released back in 2001-2002). 187 hasn't been released yet to the best of my knowledge and Bandits Pheonix Rising to me was piss poor back in the day probably the closest of the games that you listed to Twisted Metal from what I remember of it.

Theres always Crazi Taxi and Craz Taxi 3 if you want action obviously nothing like Twisted Metal but alot of fun. Wink

Still missing the groove master Very Happy

I thought interstate 82 was crap though, it didn't have interstate 76s flair.

A remake would rock!
