Classic old PC game -- a Twisted Metal perfectly made for PC's
In any case, the graphics were intentionally stylized to look blocky. The graphic effect worked rather well and there were some nicely-made cutscenes using the game engine to push the story-line along (most games would simply play a cutscene from a movie file in those days). The arcade-style car handling was perfect. The game would draw these almost endless landscapes to drive around in. The car combat was VERY satisfying.
There were some semi-sequels but they werent that great -- one on the PS1 if I recall (it had UFO's in it of all things) and the other on PC several years after this one came out.
