Three questions

Is Twisted Metal scary?

Only a little. Twisted Metal has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

How gory is Twisted Metal?

Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

What is Twisted Metal rated, and is it OK for kids?

Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and frequent strong language. Not one for kids.

What is Twisted Metal about?

A motor-mouthed outsider with no memory of his past is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
