Car Combat Comes To XBLA This Week With Vigilante 8
With gas prices temporarily down many drivers are hitting the roads again, and with lots of drivers comes road rage. Rather than flipping off the driver behind you for riding your tail like a big loser, take your agression out this Wednesday with Vigilante 8 Arcade, coming to the Xbox 360 through XBLA. I grabbed this little bit of info off Xbox.com:
Take the wheel as fully-loaded auto combat revs into high gear with Vigilante 8: Arcade®. It's a down and dirty war on wheels where everyone's riding shotgun. This brand new remake of the classic Vigilante 8 game lets you choose from among eight tricked-out retro-fine 70s vehicles with some serious firepower. Multiple special weapons let you wreak havoc on five newly-designed and destructible arenas. Complete the single player Quest story mode or test your car-crushing skills in local and Xbox LIVE® multiplayer versus or co-op modes. Rebuilt from the ground up, V8: Arcade is modern vehicular warfare at its finest!
I've never actually played Vigilante 8, but I'm a fan of the Twisted Metal series and it is has been too long since I last used my car as a weapon... as long as you don't count that squirrel yesterday. Vigilante 8 Arcade will cost you 800 points, so start those engines.

I played this years ago on PlayStation! Fun to refresh some old memories. I thought the game was very enjoyable and had a nce soundtrack, I'm eager to see how it looks and sounds now.
The original PS was a lot of fun to play, and even better was that you could play your own music if you took the CD out once the level loaded.
Oh wow, its been about time they finaly got around to releasing this, it seems like I've been waiting for ages for it!.
Only hope I have enough MS Points!
