Bio

In-game

A passionate kid from the streets of LA. He's got one last shot at taking his neighborhood out of the war zone.

Manual

A man in search of peace for his neighborhood, his family, and himself. Tonight he'll commit his final violent acts in hopes of creating a better world.

Ending

Retail Ending

You are the winner of the competition and are granted an audience with Calypso, the creator of the Twisted Metal contest.

As you speed into his underground garage, you spot him, surrounded by bodyguards and seated on a throne of broken car parts. His face is burnt beyond recognition. His smile is hideous. He speaks:

"As you know, I shall now grant any prize you request."

"You know what I want," you tell him. "I signed your contract."

For the last 10 years you have searched for a way to turn your South Central neighborhood into a place where people could feel safe. But nothing ever worked. Every night is still the same: gang fights, drive-by shootings, robberies. Tonight, all of this will change... IF Calypso will grant your wish.

He does. He promises to stop the fights, to stop the violence. You say you don't believe him. Calypso tells you to go home and see for yourself.

As you speed off into the LA night, your heart is pounding with excitement. Could Calypso be telling the truth?!? Is your neighborhood safe? Was the battle tonight worth it? All of the blood you spilled, in the end, will it be justified? You drive at top speed, racing home only to find... Calypso was not lying.
