REGARDING GRAPHICS: Twisted Metal III DEFINITELY has better graphics than its predecessors. I mean, come on! The TM 1 and 2 graphics were crap! I really liked how much improved and realistic the graphics are. It feels a lot more realistic and improves the gamer atmosphere. I give graphics specifically a 5.0, because they are 'state-of-the-art' for their generation.
REGARDING MUSIC: Like I said in my TMHO:ETE review, I love the Twisted Metal 'symphony'. However, the box of Twisted Metal III advertises having a 'sountrack for your soul' by Rob Zombie. However, Rob Zombie only provides two tracks: Superbeast and Meet the Creeper. The rest is all by Pitchshifter and White Zombie, etc. But they are NOT acredited! But that isn't really important. Just a legal issue. Anyway, I love the 'down and out heavy metal' music theme for Twisted Metal. It's really cool and does wonders for setting the mood. I give the music a 4.9.
REGARDING CONTROLS: TMIII has OK controls,...
