Twisted Metal 4 is, you guessed it, the fourth game in the Twisted Metal series. This time, Sweet Tooth overthrows Calypso and takes over the Twisted Metal contest. Also, Rob Zombie himself is playable in the game furthering the insanity of Twisted Metal.

Like its predecessor, it was developed and published by 989 Studios, before the original developers of the series returned in the next title, Twisted Metal: Black. Also, like its predecessor, it received mediocre reviews.
