It is Christmas Eve, 2005...
and in a few moments the
legendary TWISTED METAL
competition will begin.

Deep within his stronghold 
far beneath the streets 
of Los Angeles, the 
contest's demented creator, 
a man who calls himself

He is prepared to pay the
winner ANY prize he or she
requests.  No matter how

A dozen competitors have 
been personally selected

dream.

Tonight, one dream will

Tonight's combatants are...
