40 free Twisted Metal 2 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Twisted Metal 2 took Sony's car-combat tournament out of a single city and around the globe. Its eight levels, from the ruins of Los Angeles to the rooftops of New York and the streets of Paris, are packed with destructible landmarks, hidden codes and two boss fights that players still remember decades later. This quiz walks through the levels in detail: what each arena is called, where it is set, what can be blown up and where the secrets hide. It also covers the drivers and their wishes, the vehicles and their special weapons, and the making, release and reception of the game. It is written for anyone who spent the late 1990s trading level passwords, and for newer players discovering the series through its re-releases. Questions run from easy openers to deep cuts for tournament veterans.
