The hosts of these games are the persons who are, through arcane means, capable of warping reality itself to grant the wish of the contest winner The winner is brought before the tournament host, who will grant the contestant a single wish. The general goal is to destroy all opponents apart from the other contestants, unique vehicles seemingly designed by the host themselves may stand in the competitors' path. In almost all of the games, the host is a man called 'Calypso' however, in the series' fourth installment, perennial contestant Sweet Tooth briefly takes over.

There is also a choice of Story Mode, where you have to succeed in the tournament when you finally face the main boss - the legendary ice cream truck Sweet Tooth, and its owner - a crazy clown named Needles Kane.Although each individual game features its own storyline, they all revolve around the eponymous 'Twisted Metal': a vehicular combat tournament hosted once a year. The goal of the game is, of course, to stay last alive, ie 'Last man standing'. Most arenas represent well-known cities such as New York, Paris or Moscow. There is a wide range of vehicles to choose from with different characteristics, each with one unique weapon at its disposal.

The arenas are small enough and the encounter of opponents is aimed at the effective and complete destruction of the enemy. However, the Twisted Metal series differs from Carmageddon in one atmospheric function - it is much closer to Deathmatch than any other similar game. The essence is the same - a large (or not), a tooth-armed car, an arena and a number of contenders for the main prize. While the whole world enthusiastically knocked down pedestrians in Carmageddon, somewhere in the background, the very original and cute Twisted Metal project disappeared, but it absolutely deserved attention.
