      I think the 3 original tracks from Lance Lenhart (theme, London, Egypt) in the game are fantastic....but the licensed soundtrack era of games was a huge downgrade from original scores, in my personal opinion. 1 and 2 were killer OST's and their own thing, which as a musician, I can appreciate immensely.

    For me TM3 is a good game because of sentiment reasons. When it came out, my grandma bought it for me because I wanted it after playing TM2 at a friend's house. Kid Joe played the absolute hell out of it and she passed away 2 years later so I kept playing it. I played it alot with my little brother along playing TM4 and we always had tons of fun playing it. I didn't have as much attachment to TM1&2 so it never came off as a bad game to us.

    10 ways to become a menace on Twisted Metal 3 as a player:
    1: Plant TNT immediately at a teleporter exit or directly underneath the spawn area of a heal-up.
    2: (This is one for the PS1/2) Fill the map with dozens of ricochet bombs to deliberately slow down the game and then hide in an isolated part of the map while everyone drowns in a sea of bombs (my sister discovered that one).
    3: Rear spam Outlaw's Special attack. (If you do 5 in a row, you can actually send people so high up in the sky that they will die in mid-air from falling before they ever hit the ground)
    4: Use Club Kid's Special attack on any map with Pure Lunacy. (Half of the enemies kill each other before the vortex even explodes. I highly recommend using this in uncomfortably tight spaces, over lava, near the edge of ramps, any treacherous terrain, and especially in the blimp near the open pit.)
    5: Freeze an enemy as Mr. Grimm, especially one that's bulky and hard to move, and proceed to shit skull missiles repeatedly using rear spam.
    6: Send Sweet Tooth's flying explosive laughing ice cream truck head through solid walls and surprise the crap out of somebody on the other side.
    7: Stock up on Lightning on any level that has it and then hide somewhere in the corner, waiting for some poor fool on low health to enter, looking for a heal-up.
    8: When playing against live opponents, use the Speed missile as either a distraction or a way to get someone's attention. Being a huge stealth game player, I may also try to confuse the crap out of somebody by sending them on a merry chase to try and find me or use the Rain missile as bait to lure them into a TNT or a Special.
    9: Speaking of Rain missiles, use them to get enemies to constantly spend all their Turbo, especially in tight spaces with a crowd.
    10: Rocket someone into the moon by chain-smacking them with projectiles, causing them to accelerate and lift off the ground so they can't control their steering or their velocity until they hit a wall.
    Have fun!

    TM3 was my first TM game, so it holds a special place in my heart. I first played it when we visited my uncle. My older cousin had a PS1 and TM3, and my dad and I loved it so much he bought us a PS1 with TM3 that Christmas. Played it a ton with my dad and sister both. That's where my love of TM came from, a 7-year-old playing Spectre and getting owned by my dad running Auger.

    TM 3 is not bad. It has some big issues, like the topling over and stuff. But it's a fun game, specially for PVP, just like any other TM game...
    What it does bad is the endings and drivers characterization.

  • @josh8215

    The theming is also really tight. Game has a decently strong sense of identity. The contestants are all either “normal humans” or supernatural. No cyborgs or robots here. They’re all competing for their own interests. No government conspiracies like in TM1. They’re all wacky. Barely any contestants come across as entirely sane. Even the ones that are “sane” aren’t thinking through their wishes very carefully. The “world tour” theming works great here, as most levels are either already devastated (Hollywood, Tokyo) or are able to be devastated via their destroyable environments (North Pole, London). You can tell the contest is bad for the world. Even Calypso remarks as much over the radio.
    At no point does TM3 have an identity crisis or think it’s something that it’s not, and I respect that in a game.

    • @Moozeooze

      this is why it's bad though, everything is too wacky and none of the characters have any reasonable motivation. how is this a positive comment

    • @josh8215
      @josh8215 3 місяці тому +1

      Specifically because not a single character defies this expectation. They are all on theme. This gives the game a strong sense of identity. I’m not saying it’s a good identity or a good theme, but the game knows what it is. I respect that about it.
      For example, I find fault with TM1 for not knowing how serious or believable versus wacky it wants to be.

  • @SomeNamelessNobody

    I have given this game many chances and the physics is what stops me from enjoying this game. I just can't get used to them and would probably like this game a lot more if everything felt heavier even just very slight. But I personally just don't like it when a game feels floaty.

    i love Tm3, as frustrating as it is, i actually do really like this TM. all the points you made were pretty much what i thought, physics are good, sometimes annoying with certain characters lol. AI can actually attack each other which is nice, and they go for HP when low, which is cool, but also a bit frustrating lmao. With the flaws that Tm3 does have, i actually do enjoy it for what it is, even when it gets frustrating at times, the soundtrack is also incredible!

  • @l11l1venom1l11l
    @l11l1venom1l11l 3 місяці тому +1

    I completely agree with this video. I especially agree with you about the physics. Once you get the hang of them, they completely make sense and they add an element to the game that can be a lot of fun. They're not realistic per se, but they look and feel right. If your left front tire hits a bump while you're driving, your car is going to react appropriately and probably flip clockwise if you're going fast enough. With that said, these physics require processing power and it's really impressive to see the original PlayStation pull them off. There are also a lot of polygons moving onscreen at once along with special effects and the developers went out of their way to show all of the above off immediately in the game's main menu. They knew what they had and, hands down, this is one of the most impressive engines on the platform considering it all runs as well as it does. The options menu even has some advanced performance and video options if I recall correctly, which is how you know you had some killer devs working on this.
    Twisted Metal 4 would build upon this engine and even tweak it to maximum performance, I just couldn't get into the locations or vehicles in that game. It is also a good game, but probably the worst "Twisted Metal" game in my opinion. Twisted Metal 3 feels more like Twisted Metal than 4 does, considering we at least get familiar characters and the voice of Mel McMurrin. The soundtrack in TM3 is also way better than TM4, but that's extremely subjective.

    @BeaverBotics2 3 місяці тому +1

    I recognize the accomplishment of making a game in 9 months, and I have so much respect for the developers for making a fully complete and functioning product in that time frame.
    That being said.....everytime I try and play the game, I just don't really have fun. The cars are just too floaty and the steering is too stiff for me to enjoy, and not having good handbrakes and taking forecer to recover from flipping over doesn't help either (it's why I love TM4 in comparison).
    I prefer the more fluid controls of Rogue Trip, TM:Black and Small Brawl because the cars feel more fun to drive. I prefer the more arcade-esque controls because they feel more natural and fun to use in an arena setting. And when it comes to realistic driving physics I tend to enjoy Vigilante 8 more because only a few weapons require precision aim as a reward, and most of the weapons have tracking or can hit in any direction, where as 90% of the TM3 weapons fire from the front (plus it just feels less floaty).
    Thats just my take though, and I'm glad a lot people love this game. Hell maybe it is just a skill issue. But like with TM2 and TM2012's story mode, I just don't feel like getting good at a game I don't find fun.
