GameSpot 's Jeff Kitts agreed that there was no improvement but felt the graphics still held up well. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly said that the original Twisted Metal had mediocre graphics and the sequel made no improvement. However, they were divided about the graphics. Ĭritics generally regarded the game as an improvement over the original Twisted Metal due to its larger, more intricate levels and better cast of characters. The PC version averages 49.50% on the same website, based on two reviews. The PlayStation version has an aggregate score of 86.44% on GameRankings, based on eight reviews.

The PlayStation version sold 1.74 million copies in the United States alone. Twisted Metal 2 was both a financial and critical success. Due to the success of the original, Twisted Metal 2 was allotted 16 months for development, much longer than the previous game.
