Nintendo 64 owners will be happy to see the goodies Activision and
Luxoflux are packing into their version of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense. The
game has expansion pack support, 10 arenas, 12+ cars (including a camper
truck armed with a pack of killer bees and a school bus that emits toxic
fumes), and 12+ drivers to choose from. A new arena, Super Dreamland 64,
was made specifically for the N64. The multiplayer options include
two-player co-op quests, and three- and four-player modes. The gameplay
has been tweaked slightly--weapons have new attacks and there are
power-ups that morph your vehicle for navigation in specific
environments; for example, skis are added for the snow. Graphics have
also been sweetened with exhaust, fog, water effects, brake lights, and
improved explosions. Due this fall, Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense is set to
kick up a cloud of dust on the N64. |
