    What do we have here? Another Twisted Metal 4 car! Meet Orbital, a super sleek sports car that clearly resembles the McLaren F1 which was considered to be the greatest car ever conceived designed by the legendary designer Gordon Murray. Sure, there are faster cars that can beat the McLaren F1 nowadays, but the McLaren F1 is still the fastest NA (Non Aspirated by the way!) ever. No wonder it is so beloved and legendary. Anyway, back to Orbital. This car made it's debut in Twisted Metal 4, making it's first and last appearance as a playable car. This one is super fast (faster than Crimson Fury I might add) and has great grip, but with poor armour but not as bad as Twister (Another point when that car is released in the future). Orbital's special weapon is called the Teleorb which is very helpful. Once launched, the orb seeks out prey to pull cars into the centre of the orb. Any car caught from it's blast radius will be frozen, giving Orbital the chance to attack. But this special weapon has 2 flaws, it takes sometime to recharge and it doesn't do any damage. Have no idea how to use the freeze advanced attack in Twisted Metal 4? Orbital's Teleorb has you covered. This car has somewhat of a snappy handling, but compensates it for it's great grip.

    Now to get it off my chest, I consider Twisted Metal 4 to be the worst Twisted Metal game. The game itself is meh, has awful characters (except for Orbital and Microblast) and the story is just plain stupid. But if I'm forced to play the game, Orbital will be my main. Enjoy!
