Twisted Metal: Head-On (2009)

Twisted Metal: Head-On is the eight game released in the Twisted Metal series, developed by Ubisoft Quebec and released by Ubisoft for the PS3, X360, Nintendo DS and Wii on April 12th, 2009 and for PC on March 17th, 2012. Twisted Metal: Head-On follows the original story line set by Twisted Metal (1999) and Twisted Metal 2, and completely ignores Twisted Metal III and Twisted Metal 4. Because of this, and being a direct sequel to TM2, it is often called by reviewers and fans alike, the "true" Twisted Metal III. Twisted Metal: Head-On is the first game in the series to be completely online-enabled. Not only does it share the distinction of being the seventh game released in the series, but is also the first game in the series to be shipped fully online-enabled.
== Extra Twisted Edition ==
The Microsoft Windows port of Twisted Metal: Head-On was developed by Ivory Tower, and was subtitled Extra Twisted Edition. It included the cut live-action cutscenes from the first game's beta stages, a concept art booklet, a code for the entire Twisted Metal Soundtrack (excluding TMIII and TM4), the beta version of the unfinished Twisted Metal: Black handheld spinoff Twisted Metal: Havoc (named Twisted Metal: Extinct in-game) and "Sweet Tour", a 3D platformer that was part of Havoc before the game was cancelled. The main gameplay has all the content of the PS3/X360/NDS/Wii version, plus new characters, and an added Alaska stage (which was previously released as DLC for the PS3/X360/NDS/Wii version.)
== Story ==
Twisted Metal: Head-On revolves around the same theme as the previous installments. A man named Calypso holds an annual vehicular combat tournament called "Twisted Metal" with the promise of granting the winner whatever they ask for in the form of a single wish. Depending on which vehicle you beat the game with, you get an ending involving Calypso and the driver(s) of the vehicle you picked.
