It's safe to say it kept the feel of the old games, right down to the wonky physics.
The multiplayer offerings are traditional co-op and deathmatch, and while it includes online multiplayer, you're probably going to be hard-pressed to find many people still playing this two years after release. The only thing that really distinguishes between difficulty levels is the name, as easy, medium and hard are all fairly simple. Once the third level as been completed, it's time to face off against a "boss character," with the promise of a car unlock upon your success. Each level has a couple enemy cars and is at a different location each time, with the only objective being complete destruction of your opponents. The single player quest mode consists of three levels per car. It's clear the developers wanted to keep the feeling for fans of the decade-old franchise. The theme music sounds familiar, it's a remix of the Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense theme. Right from the start, the game, now done up in a cel-shaded '70s theme, reminds me of the classic game I used to play. However, you won't pay much attention to the story, as all you'll really want to do is get to the shootin'. A group of civilians called the Vigilantes, led by a trucker, take matters into their own hands. They hire a terrorist, who runs with a group called the Coyotes, to destroy stuff the US government finds important, including oil refineries and other facilities. The story is practically the same as the old games, there's an oil crisis in the 1970s and a group of oil companies look to monopolize the trade. So when I fired up the downloadable remake, I was surprised to find the game still played very much the same, which is both good and bad.
VIGILANTE 8 PS3 SERIES
So to mark the tenth year since the series was established, Activision brought it back for Xbox Live Arcade.Īs someone who played the classic games, I have very fond nostalgic memories of the Vigilante 8 series. Many nights were spent totaling my brother's cars, and to this day the two of us still quote various lines from that game. I was never too big on Twisted Metal, but Vigilante was where it was at.
