Twisted Metal: Black & Twisted Metal: Black Online is a multiplayer focused game that features online play only. There is no single-player storyline or campaign to follow.
The game includes 15 vehicles from Twisted Metal: Black , such as Sweet Tooth, Axel, Shadow, and Mr. Grimm, along with 20 levels from the original game.
There are four modes of online play available: Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, Collector, and Manhunt. In Deathmatch, the best player wins. Last Man Standing is similar to Deathmatch but players do not respawn immediately, instead, they have to wait until someone wins. In Collector, players must collect items called 'artifacts'. The player with the most artifacts at the end of the time limit wins. Additionally, if all artifacts are collected before time runs out, a player wins.
The game was released on PlayStation 2 and is classified as an Action & Adventure game. It became available in 1970 .
