Vigilante 8


The police are help less to stop a gang of thieves stealing oil in the South West. Now the law must be taken into your own hands, as a “Vigilante”, or a “Coyote”. You can use over six weapons, each with 2 special features, your choice of 13 vehicles, including a space craft, and numerous worlds. Nothing will stand in your way.

Graphics (8.5)-The graphics in this game are quite good, and a High-Rez mode, though if you choose to use it, you must sacrifice frame rate for beauty.

Sound (8)-There are eight different songs you can choose from while you blow the hell out of your enemies. The best tracks are 8, and 3. The sound FX are quite nice sounding as well, with occasional talking.

Play Control (8.5)-The basic controls of this game are quite easy to learn, and pull 360s off ridges, but the special moves are quite difficult to do. You must move the control stick in 3 different directions, then hit z, while your opponents have a perfect chance to attack. Once you memorize a few, it becomes second nature.

Fun Factor (9)-This game has pointless destruction, and an objective here and there, but damn it’s fun! You may not see the same results. Like Earthbound for SNES, you either like it or you don’t.

Replay Value (9.5)-See above.

Overall 8.5/10
