Best Twisted Metal-like vehicular combat brawler?

[Thermoptic]

Forgot about Forsaken for Playstation, n64 and pc. Me and a friend spent many hours playing the split-screen 1on1 deathmatch mode on the PSX. So much that we knew every singel deathmatch level, great fun. Guess you can call this game a hidden gem.

The n64 version has support for 4 players split-screen.. i have never tried this version. In the playstation version you use every single button on the gamepad and the n64 doesn't have as many buttons so im curious how it controls in the n64.

This is actually a "Decent" clone so its not cars as in the other games but it still has all the vehicular combat elements with fun levels and many powerups and weapons.

Forsaken on the n64 is not very good in multiplayer. The single player is awesome, but the multiplayer has tiny maps and the auto leveling mechanism gets old fast, and I never figured out how to disable it.

Neat little game but you need a competent GPU to get a good framerate.

Next Car Game looks also promising for destruction derby fans, but seems it's going to be stuck in Early Access for years.

I always thought the 2nd installment in the vigilante 8 series was pretty good, but I was a kid when I played it so for all I know it could be awful..

I did like twisted metal black a lot

Since someone mentioned Forsaken here, I found about an HD project that is free to download https://github.com/ForsakenX/forsaken/wiki Unfortunately it lacks the thumping score of the original PC version.
