Twisted Metal 4 is a vehicular combat video game developed and published by 989 Studios for the PlayStation. The game was released only in North America on November 16, 1999, and was re-released for the Sony Greatest Hits line-up in 2000. Like the previous installment, it was not released in PAL regions.
Twisted Metal 4 is the fourth installment in the Twisted Metal series and the second and last installment to be developed by 989 Studios. The game's plot centers on Sweet Tooth, the long-time mascot of the titular Twisted Metal competition, overthrowing Calypso, the mysterious organizer of the competition, in a coup d'état. He then takes over the mantle of granting the winner of the competition a single wish, regardless of price, size or even reality.
Twisted Metal 4 received mixed to positive reviews from critics, who considered it to be an improvement over the previous Twisted Metal III, particularly in terms of level design.
