If you have ever been a fan of the Twisted Metal series, then getting this game is a no-brainer. It's easily one of the best in the series and gives fans pretty much everything they've wanted out of the series.

Head-On is the first top-of-the-line multiplayer game designed for a handheld. It's vehicular combat at its finest. It's satisfying, but will leave you hungry for another bite.

Great graphics, solid and familiar TM game play, and Wi-Fi online. How can you ask for more than that? It's goold old fashioned mayhem at it's best!

It doesn’t deviate far from the typical formula. It doesn’t really need to. With tight controls, impressive graphics, a multitude of arenas and vehicles, and online play, this game is easily recommendable.

It'll keep you entertained for hours and hours, and the multiplayer capabilities truly are an absolute blast. Head-On is completely faithful to the Twisted Metal namesake and does pretty much everything right.

Seeing and playing this game makes me absolutely drool over the prospect of Incognito reviving other classics like "Warhawk," "Downhill Domination" and "War of the Monsters" on the PSP.

The single-player offering is incredibly fun, and the multiplayer bouts bring limitless depth and couldn't be much more contagious.

The game takes the thrilling aspects of the finest title in the lineup, "Twisted Metal 2," shrinks it down onto the portable screen and adds some fantastic multiplayer modes to boot.

A colorful cast of characters, a great presentation, exciting shooting action, and support for wireless multiplayer competition over the Internet combine to make this game one of the safest bets you can place when choosing your first PSP games.

Worth Playing June 7, 2024
Fans of Twisted Metal will be happy to know that the game lost almost nothing in the transition to the handheld platform, since it looks, feels, and plays just like a console iteration of the classic series.

Game Chronicles June 7, 2024
For everyone else who has at least one friend with a PSP and a copy of the game, this is a must-own title that will keep you locked in the throes of classic auto-combat until you, your PSP, or you car runs out of gas.

PSM Magazine June 7, 2024
The simple explanation for what makes this game rock is that it just plain looks, feels, and plays remarkably like its full-sized siblings.

WHAM! Gaming June 7, 2024
But even without taking the game online, the solo, co-op and head-to-head multiplayer modes are enough to satisfy even the most diehard fans of Sweet Tooth and his crew. For this one, at least, technology trumps originality. Hands down.

The online multiplayer is truly a great thing for those who can be successful at it. Unfortunately for the others, it’ll require a good deal of practice and patience with the controls.

The only way you shouldn't get Twisted Metal: Head On is if you're deathly afraid of entertainment.

Pelit (Finland) June 7, 2024
One of the best games in the Twisted Metal series. Controls are a bit sluggish, but driving and shooting works well in short sessions. Net play is also well implemented.

IGN June 7, 2024
In spite of a lacking co-op mode, Twisted Metal: Head-On offers plenty of replay value and classic fun.

GamePro June 7, 2024
Where as playing Head-On alone has its moments, playing with seven other Twisted friends via wireless connectivity is a blast. Blowing up each other with an onslaught of weaponry from steroid-induced wheels never grows tired. There is no slowdown, and the pace is just as quick as if you're playing the computer.
