Why only this title specifically?

Twisted Metal 2 was the one where the series made its biggest hit on the PS1. 3 and 4 weren't made by singletrac, and while they were good games they didn't have the same style as the original two. The later games were after the industry had kind of moved on from that kind of game.

It's like Megaman -- there were a zillion Megaman games, but the ones that were biggest in the Zeitgeist were Megaman 2 and Megaman X.
