Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) announced the North American release of the highly-anticipated Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition, available exclusively for PlayStation 2. Developed by Eat Sleep Play, the new design studio co-founded by the original creators of the Twisted Metal franchise, David Jaffe and Scott Campbell, Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition, marks the return of the original vehicular combat game, and extends the reign of the longest-running PlayStation-exclusive franchise of all-time.

When the original Twisted Metal was released in 1995, it introduced an array of fully-destructible battlegrounds and lethal machines, equipped with a variety of weaponry, designed to reduce the competition to scrap metal. Now, along with the vehicles and environments from the PSPversion of Twisted Metal: Head-On, Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition lets players reminisce with classic characters and arenas of the past and offers up the “Lost” levels, built from the never-released Twisted Metal: Black sequel.

“Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition returns to its roots and combines the perfect blend of gameplay and bonus content to deliver what I believe is the best Twisted Metal ever,” said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, SCEA.

With over eight million copies of previous Twisted Metal titles sold and legions of loyal fans worldwide, this latest edition also includes a comprehensive collection of bonus features, creating a “must-have” collectible for Twisted Metal followers. For the first time ever, in the “Sweet Tour” mode, players will be able to take the evil face of the franchise, Sweet Tooth, out of his ice cream truck and take direct control of him as they explore a new level on foot and learn factoids about the Twisted Metal franchise. Also included with the title is a documentary on the Twisted Metal franchise, the never-before-seen “Lost Ending Movies” from the editing room floor of the final version of the original Twisted Metal, a special online download code to access the “Twisted Metal Symphony” – a collection of the team’s favorite music and voice over selects, and an art booklet featuring never-released Twisted Metal concept art that provides insight into the demented evolution of the franchise.
