God I would kill for some new MXC episodes. That and Beat the Geeks, which oddly enough I cannot find a box set of anywhere. Can't even find a website to watch the damn show.

I had written a short thing about how I know 5s or high 5s looks terrible, but I personally still like to think 5 is average nothing very special. Ehhhhh. I didn't write anything that insightful but I quoted that user and it had a referral link and gamefaqs told me it was a bad idea so I was deleting that link and lost my post in the process.

6 to me is generally interesting game/media but it does have some serious flaws while below 5 is when this is just trashier play for laughs at your own peril or so the lower it is.

Oh it's not? I'm used to seeing it for games lol

55 says mixed for critics and I don't expect them to understand it. The user score is low cause it's only got 6 reviews.

Most movie and TV critics rate on a 5 point scale and actually tend to use all of it.

Three stars is usually considered 'Good' and that's gonna be 60 on Metacritic for example.

Ah okay then. I can accept that. I think it deserves higher though. I just finished episode 6 and that was a 8/10. Unless it takes a nose dive in the last 4 episodes I think this show is better than The Last of Us in terms of video game adaptations.

Episode 4 has (character spoiler maybe?) Granny with Darkside (not Hammerhead for some reason) lol

Oh and another character Flower Power?


Yes (Granny), Twister too.
And yes Flower Power.

Flower Power? Next ya'll going to say the Disco Kid was in it. Twisted Metal 3 fucking sucked though I will go to bat for number 4 though I played it a couple years ago and I really struggled with the controls.

It just had been so long since I played Twisted Metal. I thought like Rogue Trip or 2, I could hop right back into 4.

I have a soft nostalgia spot for all of them. The characters are cool even if the game sucked lol.

He might have been but he wasn't mentioned anywhere in the show. Mr Slams Bar had a bunch of characters (drivers) shown but no actual vehicles. It was characters from different games.

Reviewers say Small Brawl was good, but I was too cool to play a game that looked aimed at children heh

The last Twisted Metal game I played was Head on the PSP which was re-released for the PS2. I still have the PS2 version. Without going too long winded ya think I'd like Black more but it just seemed so cruel and hard. I rebought it but still never played it much.

Tm1 was fun for the time, but yea besides 2 and 4 (my soft spot) and Head on it feels like when the PS3 game came out this TV show would have been the perfect time for it hehe

been watching it. i also just finished episode 7 and i'll watch the rest later today.

as a huge twisted metal fan (and a huge fallout fan), i have to say, i'm impressed. it's not the tournament i wanted, they're not the characters or cars i wanted, but holy shit does it know everything about me and the world when TM reigned.

the music, the setting, the cinematography. it's so nostalgic. and the fact that it's basically a Fallout mixed with Twisted Metal show and it's actually pretty damn good. hell, it's even a more solid Fallout installment than Fallout 76 is, i'm gonna be completely honest.

i'm not done with it so i won't rate it, but i'm enjoying it. this thing was basically made for me. the humor doesn't all hit, but i'm warming up to a lot, and i even like this sweet tooth. i like all of it.

Cant be as bad as the European version of Twisted Metal Black.
You know, the one where they removed the whole fucking story for no reason!!!
It did have a reason: sony told the team to make changes to the European version, but it was very late in development and they didn't exactly told them what to change, so they just said fuck it cut everything.

Episode 10 was 10/10. The first 10 mins was exactly what people wanted the show to be. All vehicular combat and it was bad ass. It just wouldnt go over well seeing it in every episode. The show writers did a great job expanding the universe with this series.

Over all the show I would give a high 9/10 only because 2 episodes were 7s for me. This was the best video game adaptation tv series and it has no right to be lol. They utilized so many characters from the games and if theres a season 2 they have so many more they could use still. Id be happy with just this season but Id love to see more. It does end setting up a lot of hype with the tournament

If theres a season 2 they gotta bring in Mr Grimm, Axel, and Minion. Theres so much more they can do with this series. They teased a lot.

Preacher, yes.
His car, no and yes so sort of kind of.
They give you "Shadow" in Episode 1 (and in a flashback later) but not Preachers version of the same car.

I thought Preacher was the guy from 10 Things I hate about you (movie version) that ends up being friends with JGL.. NOPE.

Yes. A lot more eccentric version of him. His vehicle wasn't really there, but S2 is kind of building up to it.

just finished it. fuck, i loved it. i didn't want to love it, but i do.

most of the cars i wanted were there. we know for sure we'll see some others. i'm surprised one franchise staple didn't appear (Thumper) but overall everything was there. it did a great job building off of the wacky story of TM1 while incorporating the Fallout/Mad Max/TMPS3 feel of having raiders and henchmen all over.

honestly it's just fucking good. and there's a lot of places to go with it. i could see it being just 3 seasons and being awesome, or more if they really just didn't stop with it. overall, thumbs up, 8/10 or even 9/10 from me because i'm such a goddamn biased fanboy. but i loved it.

Just finished the last episode, really enjoyed the season from start to finish. Was not expecting to finish it in 2 nights lol. Like many have said: good characters, simple but engaging plot, great soundtrack, while not every joke lands overall enjoyed the tone and comedy. Also a great setup for season 2.

And while I'm not the biggest Twisted Metal fan (owned and played the original 3 on playstation) I did enjoy all of the cameos and nods towards the game(s). Im sure bigger fans of the series will love this even more.

Very solid 7.5/10. Looking forward to season 2

Just finished episode 10, it was pretty good.

I wouldn't say it's the best videogame adaptation, it felt like most of the cameos/references were thrown in for the hell of it.

Looks like we're actually getting the tournament for Season 2 if a season 2 happens.

Some episodes were better than others.

The episodes should have been an hour long instead of under 30 minutes

Yes this exactly. I was not looking forward to this based on that first trailer. I ended up liking the scene in the context of the show and the general tone, but with no context it didn't work
