In 2006, Los Angeles is in shambles and its citizens struggled to survive after the conclusion of Twisted Metal, a brutal contest organized by Calypso, exactly one year earlier on Christmas Eve. There is no end if the game is completed in cooperative mode. The two-player duel mode returns from the first Twisted Metal, and a cooperative mode allows players to fight in tournament mode with a teammate. The object of the game is to be the last player left. A variety of weapons can be obtained from trucks scattered throughout the stage.

Players choose a vehicle and an arena, or a series of arenas in story mode, to engage in battle with opposing drivers. In concept, Twisted Metal 2 is a demolition derby that allows the use of ballistic projectiles. It was also released for download in Japan and North America on the PlayStation Network in 2007. Two years after its release, Twisted Metal 2 was re-released as a PlayStation Greatest Hits game, however under developer 989 Studios instead of SingleTrac. It also has multiplayer mode via a modem line or the Internet. The Microsoft Windows version features slightly reduced graphics compared to the PlayStation version but does not require a 3D accelerator video card. It was developed by the SingleTrac game studio, published by Sony, and released in 1996 for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Twisted Metal 2 (known as Twisted Metal: World Tour in Europe and Twisted Metal EX in Japan) is the second and most successful game in the vehicular combat series, Twisted Metal.
