I beat the game in 5 days so don't waste your bucks on something you are going to play for only 10 at most days. Rent the game

Fun, but not as good as I thought.

I rented the game and it was pretty fun but the game dosen't have enough tracks or weapons. I would suggest that you rent it insted of buying it, unless you like it enough to buy it.

This is a really fun shooter.You ride around,picking up weapons and then fire the weapons at the other cars,trucks or buses.In one player mode,you can be the Vilagantes and protect buildings,or be the Cyotes and destroy those buildings.You must destroy your enemies in the process.I like this game and it's one of the best shooters I've ever played.

The best game.

Vigilante 8 is not a good vehicle shooter at all. The graphics and sound are the only good things about it. The control ruins the game, you can't make real tight turns or spin on a dime like you can in other vehicle shooters I've played. I was real disappointed after I played a few rounds of this game. The weapon choice is good and the levels are imaginative, but the control just ruins everything else. The fun factor and replay value are completely ruined by the sorry control.

If you want to play a great vehicle shooting game, buy Twisted Metal 2 for the Playstation. If you must play Vigilante 8, just rent it.

Far out!

First car combat game on Nintendo 64, "Vigilante 8" makes you feel like your in 1979's "Mad Max" because all of the machine guns and car bashing action. There are 13 characters, but some are hidden, which you can unlock by completing quests with non hidden characters. The levels are creative and dazzling,like the frontier town which makes you feel like you're in a western movie. The game is a little too easy, but all in all,it's a great game.

Good as a one-player game, better with multiple players

Overall this is a fun game -- different characters and cars that can get different weapons to shoot up other vehicles and/or buildings. The environment looks good, the controls are fairly easy to master, and the music is fun.

Winning the various single-player missions allows you to unlock some new characters and environments, BUT once you have the hang of the game, you can beat the single-player missions fairly quickly. The other single-player modes, Arcade and Survival, may also give you some enjoyment, but overall you can finish this quickly, and might even get a little bored with it after a few days -- if ALL you do is single-player stuff.

It is LOADS of fun as a 2 or more person game, though. I tend to enjoy 'social gaming' more anyway -- games like "Super Smash Brothers", "Goldeneye", and "Gauntlet" are a lot of fun when you are playing with (or against!) other players. This is a VERY good game for that kind of group activity, and will add to the "replay" value of this game.

Cars with big guns. Yipee!

Vigilante 8 may have a sappy storyline, but that can easily be over-looked. The game pins you in a [generally goofy] car and makes you perform special "missions" across very different landscapes. Landscapes vary from farmyards to air force bases to dams, and objectives include protecting and destroying buildings and other cars. It sounds simple (and it is), but imagine driving a big, mean school bus through a fence with a huge machine gun strapped to the back. Yes, with the aide of devastating and effective weapons, there is plenty to hoot about. But like all good things, this kind of novelty will wear off. And since the missions are easily skimmed through in a matter of two days, not much is left for yourself. So what saves this game from being ignored on retail shelves? It has a two-player co-op mode! Not only that, but it's a fun two-player co-op mode! You can go through the entire single-player quest with a friend now. And if that isn't enough, the four-player deathmatch is great. However.... the framerate will suffer and the deathmatches do not offer a whole lot of customization. In the end, Vigilante 8 is a great party game when in the mood for vehicular combat, only being surpassed by San Francisco Rush 2049. You decide.

Addictive

I purchased about ten or so games for my Nintendo 64 player since I bought it and all of them are great fun, but this one is down right addictive. The game play has a level of logistics that is close enough to the real thing to keep this game appealing for hours on end. Lots of visual explosions and fantastic sound effects to match make this the epitome of great mindless entertainment. Highly recommended for those who are tired of traffic or simply can't stand those pesky school buses that turn in front of you and flash their red lights when you're late for work.

Cool Game
