[Solved] Trying to find an old PS2 game...

I'm looking for an old game for the PS2 that I played a long time ago. Thing is, I cannot remember the name. It's literally always on the tip of my tongue but I just can't remember it. Let me try and describe it:

 

It's a game where you have a car (everything is futuristic) and you pick up weapons that are mounted on the front left or right of your vehicle. You then use those weapons to try and destroy your opponents, obviously. It isn't racing - it's like a "showdown" game. There are a number of maps, which range from small to medium then to large. There are three specific maps that I remember - one small, medium and large. The small map was like an ancient Maya style map, the medium was an airport map and the large was a space station map. There's more maps, but that's all I can remember. There might be an aircraft carrier map too.

 

If I recall properly, each vehicle you could choose was paired with a character, like Power Drome and Destruction Derby Arenas. Also, if I recall properly, the gravity was low or low in certain maps and the control setup was a little odd, in that the brake and gas controls were for some reason bound to different buttons compared to most other driving based games.

 

For some reason I keep thinking of the game as being called Power Drome, but Power Drome is a completely different game, which I have. I'm really sorry that I can't provide much else for details, but I want to try and see if anyone else may know of this game. And, even though the description I gave is somewhat similar to Rumble Racing, it's not that one. But I do know that this mystery game is similar to Rumble Racing, Power Drome and Destruction Derby Arenas in certain aspects. 

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Not sure which one, but sounds like a game in the Twisted Metal series.

Sounds like Twisted Metal to me.  Never played one on the PS2 but played on PS1.

I just looked through all of the Twisted Metal games, and unfortunately, though it is strikingly similar, it's not the game I'm thinking of.  :(

 

Perhaps the game I'm thinking of was inspired by the Twisted Metal series.

It's not Twisted Metal because in Twisted Metal, you pick up weapons that you then toggle through to use. They aren't mounted on left/right/front of the vehicle. 

I don't remember if that's how weapons are mounted in Vigilante 8, but it's a Twisted Metal-esque game for the PS1. So that's not it.

*thinking as I feel like I've played this game*

There's this site called Similar Games, and it'll show you games similar to the one you searched for. I will try using it to find games similar to any of the Twisted Metal games.

 

EDIT: And nope. I still didn't find it.

187 Ride or Die?

I assume it wasn't the burnout series of games since they lack weapons AFAIR.

Motor Mayhem: Vehicular Combat League?

Road Trip?

187 Ride or Die?

 

It's not 187 Ride or Die. I saw that on YouTube one time and I actually want to get it, but it isn't the game that I'm looking for. Let me try and give some more details:

 

I remember one vehicle, being similar to a tank. It had six wheels and looked like a rover or something from the Mass Effect series, or a Warthog from Halo but red with six wheels.

 

I'm going to do something I really don't want to do, and that's find a huge database of all PS2 games and then just search through it.

Look back at that post. I added more. I already did that basically. 

Was it RoadKill?

It's not RoadKill, but I now realize that I missed your last post, and boy I'm glad I looked at it! I think it's Motor Mayhem. I really recognize the cover art.

 

I'm looking up screenshots and I don't recognize most of them, but I do recognize some of them. For example, the following picture. That's the red vehicle with six wheels I described.

Thanks for all your guys' help! I found the game that I was looking for, it's Motor Mayhem, or VCL Presents: Motor Mayhem. It's been so long since I've seen this game, and after scoping out gameplay on YouTube, it brings back a lot of memories. Vitalius posted several pictures, and luckily for me, I recognized the cover art for Motor Mayhem and its name right away.

Yes, I realized that. Try this one, it's pretty similar:

Okay, so for anyone responding, I've found the game, it's Motor Mayhem. In the first post, I described a Mayan style map, an Airport map and a space station map. They all appear in this video: 

 

Mayan map: 0:46

Airport: 0:56

Space station: 1:19
