Train2Game students have the opportunity to beta test the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Vehicle combat title Twisted Metal.

The Twisted Metal multiplayer beta is available to download for free from the PlayStation Store, and gives players a taste of the following:

• 8 vehicles to choose from, each with their own unique special weapons.
• 2 multiplayer modes: Classic free-for-all Death Match, and team-based Nuke mode—a Twisted take on Capture the Flag that’s brand new to the series.
• Challenge mode, where you can practice with each vehicle to hone your destructive skills.

The Twisted Metal multiplayer beta on PlayStation 3 runs through to February 7^th. The Twisted Metal series has been running since 1995 and has appeared on all generations of the PlayStation console. The current title is being developed by Salt Lake City based studio East Sleep Play!

Twisted Metal is scheduled for release later this month.

Beta testing is an excellent way for Train2Game students, especially those on the Games QA Tester course to practice their bug hunting skills. Not only that, but in an interview with the Train2Game blog, Trion Worlds Senior QA Tester Karl Tars said that beta testing is potentially a way to get into the industry.

For more on beta testing, how it’s useful for Train2Game students, and opportunities to get involved with it, see the Train2Game blog.

So Train2Game, what are your thoughts on the Twisted Metal series? Will you get involved in the multiplayer beta?
