Just okay for me

Overview
=================
I never played the original twisted metal games. This was pumped so much that I thought it was going to be great. For me it is just okay... Not a great rent either because online needs a pass...
EA really needs to go back to giving you at least 2-3 days of a preview pass.
Pros
=================
1) fairly fun car combat
2) decent looking game (although not great)
3) I'm sure nostalgic for those that played old games
Cons
=================
1) controls could have been better
2) no online play without a pass
3) campaign wasn't that interesting (story or action)
4) just wasn't great....

How could you not love a game where you blow up other cars and reek havoc throughout a good handful of maps with a huge selection of weapons all to heavy metal music?
Gameplay:
Awesome. The multiplayer should take Call of Duty's spotlight as central online multiplayer game. Its incredibly addicting. The single player is definitely a challenge and the control scheme takes a minute to get used to. Give it an hour or two and you'll be hooked.
Graphics:
Its style is different. Dark live action cut scene are a welcomed addition. They have a visual style that gives the game a personality. The graphics of the actual gameplay are decent enough too. They're not on par with Uncharted, Battlefield, God of War or Rage but not many games really can say they are. The graphics are far from mediocre.
Story:
The low point of this game. Its story mode is only 2-3 hours long and the story isn't all that interesting (or prominent for that matter.) I haven't played the previous Twisted Metal games, but I wasn't really expecting much of a story from a game like this.
Pros:
+ Multiplayer
+ Soundtrack
+ Visual style
Cons:
- Story was weak
- Difficulty curb thins out this games audience
