^ Twisted Metal: Head-On ported from PSP to PS2 this Christmas New Eat Sleep Play studio PS3 and PSP games coming in 2008.Several characters can only be unlocked by completing the minigames on certain levels. Reaching the end of the mini-game prior to the timer's ending allows the player to all their powerups. The catch is that most of these minigames are timed, forcing the player to think on their feet, as it were, while maintaining a balance of caution and risk. These are bonus levels where players must collect power ups while circumventing obstacles that require a variety of tactics, including destroying taxicabs, jumping over chasms, and destroying helicopters using napalm bombs. Head-On also includes minigames that players can access via teleporters, which can be found in each level during Story Mode. It also lacks the online play feature of the original PSP version. After fans deciphered a message in the Dark Past documentary as reading " Twisted Metal is coming on psthree", Jaffe confirmed it himself. The documentary includes an answer to a question Twisted Metal fans have been asking for a long time. Each physical copy also comes with a code to download a Twisted Metal soundtrack. The PS2 port contains extra features and bonuses, such as the unreleased live action end movies from Twisted Metal, a behind the scenes documentary and a concept art book. It was never released outside of North America and is thus only available in NTSC format. The game was developed by Jaffe's newly formed studio Eat Sleep Play and was retitled Twisted Metal Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition. A PlayStation 2 port of Twisted Metal: Head-On was released on February 5, 2008.
