User Rating: 9.5 | Twisted Metal: Black PS2
There are many dark games, but none I've played that bring such evil to the table. You can blast zombies or walk around the Asylum chopping up security guards all day, but none of this pulls you so deep into the minds of so thoroughly disturbed individuals. The very nature of games is to pull you into a different world, this game pulls you into a world of supreme insanity. Take the crazy, cannibalistic Mr.Grimm. He killed and ate his friend in the Vietnam war and made a helmet out of his skull. He enters the contest wishing revenge on the torturer who destroyed his mind. The disturbed Preacher killed a young baby, his parents, and many more people when a demon "possessed" him.
He enters seeking the truth. And for the Twisted Metal vets, Sweet Tooth returns, as an evil mass-murderer who survived the electric chair, who enters the contest to relieve himself of his curse of a burning head. Each story delves deep into the characters mind through messages displayed and the amazing cinemas. Story aside for the moment, the gameplay is perfect, hectic and fast-paced. You will get used to it at a moderate pace. Afterwards you will have to contend with the games sloping difficulty, which gets harder every level. Once you get use to THAT you will zoom through a story in about 2 days.

If a dark and insane world combined with fast pace combat is what you want, then play Black, because you won't find a better combination of the two in any other game.
