A well done game, but be careful.

Vigilante 8 really surprised me. I was expecting an updatedTwisted Metal, which Vigilante is, but it surpasses TM on every level.The graphics, music, and weapons are the best features on the game. Some minor problems are there though. It can be hard to control the cars, especially in the air and on the water. You eventually get used to it, but there is a learning curve. The physics engine has some issues as well. If you're not careful, your vehicle will bounce around the screen like an out of contol pinball--causing a game crash/freeze or having to start the level over. However, I highly recommend the game, especially if you like Twisted Metal.

Awkward controls, frustrating level endings

This is a good game, don't get me wrong. But there are annoyances that drag down the entire experience. The controls are a little awkward, and there is no way to edit them. you are stuck with a standard controller configuration, making it a little hard to drive at times.

The levels have multiple goals, which need to all be solved. Collecting items and destroying all oponents are two of them. But the level always ends after destroying all oponents, and you fail if you haven't found all the secret items. So you may find yourself searching for hidden items, while constantly under fire. If you defend yourself, the level may end as a failure.

Same as the original Vigilante 8 on PS

In the first ten minutes when I played Vigilante 8 2nd offense, I thought I was playing the original Vigilante 8 on PS. Although the fun factor is still there, I am disappoint with the control on DC version. There are no enough buttons on DC controller to rotate the camera view angle. The graphic is also substadard compare to Soul Calibur. The game looked like was rushed to the market without taking adventage of DC's power. Buttom line: if you have the Vigilante 8 on PS, skip Vigilante 8 2nd on DC.

This is the newest game in the Vigilante series. It has awesome capabilities in multiplayer mode, and has a smooth frame rate even with four players. It is a car combat game, letting you blow your enemies to smithereens. It even has a 2 player quest mode. A great buy.

It was a disapointment.

I thought it would be a lot better game than it turned out to be. The cars are new but the levels are repetive and the graphics are also a dissapointment. I reccomend getting the first one. I also recomend that you not get this game!

Only buy this if you've got friends...

Single player version of this game is lacking something, just isn't that much fun. How-ever, this is probably the best 4-player, non-sports game I've played on DC.

This game is awful

This is an awful game. Do not buy it. I bought it and i found myself putting it away after only a day. The gameplay is sluggish and I sugeest if you really want to play it, rent it. A sad sequel to an excellent original game

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER

Vigilante 8: Second Offense looked like the best game ever....and it is. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars was because about 15 minutes ago I was playing and the game froze. This was the second time this has happened to me in the 5 days that I have had it. But the worst part was that I was doing the quest mode and was almost done and I had not saved in the middle. But, a bonus for this game is that it has excelant graphics compared to all other Vigilante 8s and Vigilante 8: Second Offenses. I would say that you buy this game but dont forget to save often.

Tons of Fun

Second offence is probably one of the most anticipated games to hit the Dreamcast. Having many selectable vehicles and characters, it is easily my favorite Dreamcast title to date (having played nearly every released title so far). The strongest point of the game is it's go-anywhere, shoot-anything-that-moves perspective. The graphics are top notch and the action is non-stop. Although this game may not appeal to all, fans of the genre will be more than satisfied with what Second Offence has to offer.

awesome!

The music is awesome and I love the future hover car. I would totally recommend this game if you love twisted metal. the only problem is, IT'S BETTER THAN TWISTED METAL!
