Twisted Metal 3 is a 1998 vehicular combat game for the PlayStation, taking the series’ explosive destruction to real-world locations like Hollywood and Washington D.C. Developed by 989 Studios, players once again enter Calypso’s chaotic tournament, taking the wheel of heavily armed vehicles ranging from ice cream trucks to bulldozers. The game introduces updated physics, new contestants alongside returning favorites, and a relentless mix of dark humor and arena battles.
How to play
Survive the arena by destroying all rival vehicles before they destroy you. Pick up health, turbo, and weapons scattered around each map to gain the upper hand.
- D-Pad: Steer vehicle
- X Button: Accelerate
- Square: Brake / Reverse
- Circle: Fire selected weapon
- L1 / R1: Cycle through available weapons
- L2 / R2: Fire machine guns
Tips
- Your machine guns (L2 and R2) have unlimited ammo but easily overheat. Fire them in controlled bursts to keep pressure on enemies while conserving your heavy missiles.
- Learn the layout of each map. Knowing exactly where the health pickups and environmental hazards are is the key to surviving against multiple opponents.
- Each character’s unique special weapon regenerates over time. Use it frequently during engagements rather than saving it for the end of the round.
