The Nintendo 64 version includes a story mode for Y The Alien and a fantasy stage called Super Dreamland 64, as well as three multiplayer modes two vs. It also requires the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack to improve the graphics and access bonus content.
As long as you stay crouched, you can ignore the timer and build up your score. As soon as you get up, you'll lose a life. There is a level select available for this chop-socky game. From the title screen, hold down U and L on the control pad and hit 1 and 2, all at the same time.
Hold them until you see a stage-select screen appear. The game boasts almost the same graphics as but better than the arcade classic, with 5 huge levels that arcade fans will be happy to revisit. The enhancements come in the form of gameplay polish: you are no longer "stuck" at corners of the screen, for example. For example, if you choose to be a Coyote, all of your opponents will be from the Vigilantes. Got it? The second mode is the Arcade mode. This is basically a battle to the death.
You pick your car and then you pick the cars you want to go up against and then you just go at it. In the arcade mode you can select up to 12 enemy vehicles to battle against. The whole gang concept is now thrown out the window and it is now every man and woman for themselves.
Unfortunately, you are everyone's primary target and they all come after you and pretty much leave each other alone. I thought this was kind of lame because you were the center of everyone's attention instead of keeping the fighting spread out among everyone. I may have gotten a little ahead of myself. I have not really described what type of game this is. If you have never heard of or played Twisted Metal , you have no clue what to expect. This game is a vehicular combat game.
That means you drive around in a vehicle and have combat with other vehicles. All of the vehicles have a standard machine gun but you can find weapons out in the playing environment and use them. The object of the game is different depending on the game mode you choose but the underlying object is always the same: stay alive while blasting the stuff out of your opponents. As with Twisted Metal , the vehicles are a big part of the game. One thing that TM did that made it so cool was that the different vehicles and characters were easily recognizable.
You knew who was who by what they drove and what their special attacks were. Vigilante 8 tries to do the same thing but I feel falls a little bit short. I think they did do a good job with the different vehicles but for the most part, you don't really get the same feeling of association. There are a couple of drivers who are quite noticeable and you will remember them, like Beezwax, an old bee keeper who drives a clunky old pickup truck with a camper on the back. You could always remember this guy when he comes barreling down on you.
One of the great things about this game is that everything is destructible. You can blast the crap out of anything and everything. Nothing is safe. See that tree? Blast it. That little shed? See ya. If you can see it, you can pretty much rest assured that it will blow up. This was so cool because I would spend a lot of time riding around blowing stuff up just to find hidden weapons. I think that this is probably the single coolest thing about this game. Another thing that I really thought was incredible was the weapons.
I am not talking about just the weapons themselves but the way they look on your vehicle. Whenever you pick up a new weapon, you actually see if affix to your vehicle.
When you run out of ammo, you see the weapon fall off the car. There are even weapons that will knock the weapons off of your opponents vehicle so you can pick them up. It was great because you do not have to cycle through a list of available weapons.
All you need to do is look at your vehicle and you will know what was available. I think that this is revolutionary and I can almost bet that it will be copied in many games to come in the future.
Complaints about the game? Yeah, I had a couple of minor ones. First, the quests for each vehicle were a bit on the short side. You only have to meet four objectives and you are done. Granted, you could try it with different vehicles but it is still a little short. Also, I had a little bit of a problem with the analog control.
There were a number of times that I would try and loop around while shooting only to stop and start turning in the opposite direction because I was pushing the stick a little diagonal. Other than that, I really did not have any complaints. Like I said above, everything is destructible.
You can blast away everything and it looks awesome. This game has some great backgrounds and arenas in which the combat takes place. There are weather conditions that include rain and snow, mini-tornadoes that will pick up and fling your car if you happen to drive into them and boulders that crash down on you. I really liked the way the weapons were actually affixed to my car so I could see what was available. Finally, the vehicles themselves look great as well.
Everything from the big yellow school bus to the Pacer-looking car were very cool to look at. This game will definitely appeal to fans of Twisted Metal. If you did not like those games, I would still recommend giving this one a look because it does have a little bit of a different feel to it. Overall, I think we may be seeing some revolutionary new features but the gameplay itself is not revolutionary. I will never get tired of blowing things up in this game just for the hell of it.
I don't think you will either. Converted from the PlayStation game, which itself was based on the PC title Interstate '76, Vigilante 8 is set in an alternate s where groups of Mad Max -style automotive terrorists are blasting around the place, blowing stuff up and being generally troublesome. Each vehicle in Vigilante 8's world comes complete with its very own factory-fitted machine gun and enough ammunition to fight a small war. This might sound ideal for those fed up of being caught in jams on the M25, but in the harsh world of 's America it's not nearly deadly enough.
In addition to these, each car has its own distinctive super weapon -- these only have a limited number of shots, but anything hit by them will be heading to the nearest scrapyard quicker than you can say "Starsky". Arcade is a straightforward 'kill' em all' rampage on a single level, while Survival pits you against waves of increasing numbers of enemies. Well, not exactly.
Unless an old magic lantern show is your version of a trip to the Odeon. Each character has their own 'movie', which plays -- well, flips through stills -- when they complete their own quest missions. Here's how Chassey Blue's life turns out In this, each character visits four different stages to fulfil their own agendas -- whether it's making it big in Hollywood or being taken away by extraterrestrials -- by destroying particular enemies and defending certain buildings from attack or, if you're playing as one of the Coyotes, by blasting them to atoms.
The four-player game is tremendous fun -- it's almost Goldeneye on wheels. There is occasional slowdown when things get really hectic, but for the most part multiplayer games are as fast as the one-player game, at the slight expense of frame rate. The scenery is well-detailed plus almost all of it can be destroyed and varied, and annoyances like fogging are kept to a minimum by the clever way the landscapes are drawn -- distant scenery is filled in as a coloured silhouette, so its shape obscures the sky backdrops without slowing things down.
It doesn't completely eliminate pop-up, but it's a damn sight better than having everything vanish into a Turok -style haze. Although there's a sort of PlayStation-like feel to the visuals, which isn't surprising given the game's roots, it doesn't really matter -- everything's moving so fast you don't have time to gripe.
Besides, if you're playing with an Expansion Pak it's miles ahead of Sony's box anyway. There is a slight speed drop with the Expansion Pak, especially in four-player games, so if deathmatches are your thing you might be better off keeping it in lores. As far as audio goes, it's more or less what you'd expect -- roaring V8 engines, wincing crashes, rumbling explosions and nondescript guitar 'rawk'.
There's also some speech to add a little redneck I flavour, though snappy Tarantinoesque dialogue isn't on the menu.
