SevenALiveNov 11, 2008The camera controls really affect game playability. I am getting frustrated with the camera which really takes away from the game. If your car flips over, there is no reset button, so your stuck! It's just not nearly as fun as i remember played the original on the N64. I guess if you were playing on XBL and they fixed the bugs it would be better.

Vigilante 8: Arcade is one of those titles that simply isn’t as fun as you remember it being. It’s not a bad game and it’s great as a novel piece of nostalgia, but the gameplay itself doesn’t hold up all that well.

Problems — like a confusing camera (which, for whatever reason, is significantly better in mega-fun split-screen play), slippery vehicles that clip through the ground, and a mere five arenas on which to destroy opponents — make Vigilante 8 a questionable $10 purchase. But competitive smack-talk-athons and co-op multiplayer are a blast thanks to the diverse array of attacks.

To a jaded, seen-it-all gamer like yours truly, it seems like a good idea that didn’t get executed to enough of an extent. A completely redesigned Vigilante 8 game with next-gen graphics and physics would be super awesome, if you ask me. But probably not appropriate for Xbox Live. This one is definitely meant for those who truly can’t let go of their childhood.
