Twisted Metal is suffering a few localization problems, resulting in the car-on-car violence being delayed in Europe. The game is now due out in March for PAL gamers, although a solid release date is yet to be confirmed.
In North America, the game is still slated for February 14 and there shouldn't be any problems making the date.
As well as the delay, the European version of Twisted Metal has been slightly censored by SCEE. David Jaffe says that most of the edits are in cutscenes and won't affect the actual gameplay. The biggest in-game change is that the screaming person tied to a gurney on the Meat Wagon is now a lifeless corpse.
Well, that's a shame.

Time to import.
Confirmed, European censors promote murder!

Ripping heads off, eating hearts, having a face blown apart in front of you, peeing on dead torn apart corpses....etc

cars blowing up.
So the nostalgia factor is doubly high for me.
Jaffe addressed that as well, while not trying to justify the move he was saying if you think about it's a bit more "sick". Anyway sucks, at least it isn't as censored as black was for you guys.
