Editorial Review:
Vehicular combat game Vigilante 8: Second Offense is a big improvement in a series that was already the best in the genre. Fortunately for gamers, the creators have shifted away from enhanced plot development in favor of setting up the mayhem. Gamers are quickly immersed into the action in this fast-action game, which still boasts an excellent quest mode.
New power-ups make this game even more fun to play than its Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 predecessors. This time around, players can pick up radar jammers that will scramble both enemy radar and incoming homing projectiles. But the best new features are the hoverpods and hydrofloaters that will give any car the ability to hover over land and water, respectively.
Weapons are plentiful and formidable. In addition to standard stock (missiles, mines, machine guns, rockets, flame-throwers, and so on), each character has their own special weapon that wreaks havoc when powered up. Among the best is the Garbage Man's compactor weapon, which can reduce even the toughest competitors into a nice compact package. New combination moves have also been added, which add to the overall devastation that can be wreaked in this glorious high-resolution game. The game is for one or two players. --Bill Hutchens
Customer Rating: Summary: Dreamcast version much better Comment: This is one of the games I still play on Dreamcast. In an effort to keep the fewest amount of equipment around my tv, I decided to get the playstation version of this game. I must say that I was disappointed in the graphics and how grainy it is. You can't see to far in the distance. I thought it was going to be the same. Oh well. If you've never played this game before, it's still the same fun. I can give it that. I don't want to draw any comparisons to Twisted Metal. I like both. For the price, it's worth a shot but if you still play Dreamcast, get that version instead. Customer Rating: Summary: Great game, always a must play Comment: I have always loved this game. I first rented the game back in '98 when I was young and loved it then. Now I am older and I searched all over to just to find the game! I played it again and still loved it. For a PS game, it's graphics are great. The controls are easy and learning curve is about ten minutes, tops. It is truly a great game and I shall play it even when I am older. Customer Rating: Summary: A Blast from the Past Comment: wonderful, fun game. get to blow things up and drive around in cool cars Customer Rating: Summary: Best shooting and driving game ever Comment: This game along with vigilante 8 is the absolout best game no questions asked!
