Last month, we gave you sneak peeks at this hot new game from the four-man team at Luxoflux. We finally got a chance to play it in-depth, and while the controls still need to be tweaked, we're pretty excited at what we've played so far. This '70s funkadelic take on the combat driving genre has what it takes to bump Twisted Metal 1 and 2 from the throne.
Vigilante 8 is the first installment of the Vigilante 8 vehicle action series developed by Luxoflux. It was released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, Playstation, and Gameboy Color. It was released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, Playstation, and Gameboy Color. Vigilante 8 is a beautiful shoot-'em-up driving game that also happens to be a lot of fun. The premise is fairly complicated: enter the level, drive around picking up.
The vehicles are fairly interesting. They consist of classic muscle cars, pickup trucks and even a school bus, apparently a very popular vehicle with the focus/testing groups (in the words of an Activision associate producer, 'Kid's love this f****** bus!').
- Vigilante 8 taking aim at Xbox Live. Activision gets car combat series up and gunning again after nearly eight years in the shop.
- Vigilante 8 is a fast-paced, brutal driving game where the objective is to turn enemy cars into junk heaps by bombarding them with explosives, rockets, machine guns, and anything else you can pick up.
- Mar 29, 1998 Vigilante 8, which was released in July of 1998, is a vehicular combat game which and was a spin off of the PC game Interstate '76. Vigilante 8 was later re-released on the Xbox Live Arcade as Vigilante 8 Arcade on November 5th 2008, it features improved graphics and new arenas. The games story is about an oil crisis in the 1970s which causes several vehicle based skirmishes to break out.
Each of the cars come with a standard machine gun. To pick up more powerful armaments (see sidebar), you must drive around the large levels and pick up weapon icons. If you can find the secret weapon crate, you can access that character's unique special power. Beezwax, for example, can launch a swarm of mutant bees that can make short work of any car.
What really distinguishes this game from its competition, however, isn't the cars or the weapons; it's the awesome game engine. When you damage the front end, your hood can pop loose. When you get shot, you can see the bullet holes. If you get..ahem, rear-ended, your tail pipe and bumpers can be knocked loose. Windshields can shatter. You can start avalanches on the snowy mountains. You can almost feel the bumpy or slippery terrain underneath your wheels. In other words, this game engine is one of the finest we've seen in a while. It's extremely detailed and realistic--it really must be seen and played to be appreciated.
Vigilante 8 Game Boy Color
Vigilante 8 will include a One-player Quest Mode (where you follow a character's story line), a One-player Arcade Mode (where you can just jump in and fight against one to four other cars) and a Two-player Mode. Right now, the two-player game is only one-on-one, but that may change to become a free-for-all that may include up to four more cpu opponents (for a total of six cars in battle).
