    looks great for an XBLA game. I like the multiplayer the best. My friends and I took the day off and have been playing this non stop! (big fans of the original) I'm happy we're getting more multiplayer games like this on xbox live arcade. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun game to play with their friends. Plus points for the price ( 10 bucks!! ).

    Voto per la versione PSX, di cui non c'è la scheda su questo sito.
    Alta giocabilità, bella grafica e divertimento assicurato soprattutto in multiplayer.
    Davvero un bel gioco.

    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
