| Summary: Great Game, but Horrible Wireless Support

I got my hands on Twisted Meta: Head-On yesterday, and i was extremely excited. I popped it in and waited for the intro movie. When it finally came, I was in shock. The graphics for this game are extremely well done. I started off with some single player story mode. Everything is well balanced... except that gameplay seems way too fast paced. When you turn around to meet somebody to shoot at them, there are already long gone and you have to resort to your radar to find them. This makes gameplay extremely difficult. And a word to the wise, don't use the analog. Your car loses pretty much all of its handling too, but since cars have secret abilities by pressing a sequence of buttons on the D-pad you won't want to use it anyway.
Luckily for me, I have a wireless router in my house. As soon as I started up the Twisted Metal multiplayer, I was extremely dissapointed. When I could connect, I was shortly disconnected afterwards. I could view the lobbies but everytime I joined a game, I got disconnected. It got extremely frusterating after 25-30 failed attempts. Thouroly mad at the game, I pulled it out and popped in Spider Man 2 (The Movie)
Pros
Awesome replay value
Fun and exciting story
Cons
Analog isn't worth anything
Speedy gameplay
Wireless connection problems

comic book like movies? that's called cel shading, my friend, and i think they look great.
+
no, at the end of the game, each charactor has a comic style based ending movie

works pretty well now. i do get knocked off sometimes though
+
I would imagine it's because they weren't quite ready for all the connections to set up. I would look for future games to have this resolved, and hopefully we'll get it resolved with Twisted Metal as well. Seems to be an exciting game, specially against real people.
