Explaining Every Character in Twisted Metal: Black for 50 minutes

Twisted Metal: Black for the PlayStation 2 released in 2001 and is a game that, like onions and ogres, has layers.

On its surface, it’s a fast-paced, action-packed car combat arena fighting game.

Going a little deeper, it’s also a mysterious, brooding world that’s brilliant in its darkness and features a cast of characters whose stories I find to be endlessly fascinating. Those characters are what I would like to explore today. I’ll go through each one and break down what they’re all about, their place in the world of Twisted Metal: Black, and in addition to that, what they could represent in the larger meta narrative of the game.

This video is one that I hope can express how much this game accomplishes as a storytelling piece and also help you appreciate the game a little more for its world and narrative.

From Junkyard Dog all the way through Sweet Tooth, every character and their story are explained here!
