The gameplay of Vigilante 8: Arcade revolves around the simple concept of vehicular deathmatches. Each character does feel and play differently, but instead of making each character fun to play for their own unique reasons, this instead makes some characters more annoying to utilize.

The characters do have backstories, but these are told through lazily written text on the character select screen. After beating all of a character’s challenges, you will face a boss and unlock a bonus item if you win. The main single player mode is called Quest, and it’s nothing more than a set of 3 bot-matches for you to take on with each character. V8 seems to be feature-loaded on paper, but these features are slightly less impressive when played. It is with this legacy tucked firmly in its belt that Isopod Labs, made up of several original team members from Luxoflux, has released a remake of the original Vigilante 8 on Xbox Live Arcade. The Luxoflux-developed Vigilante 8, released on the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 in 1998, managed to make quite a splash and crafted a solid fan base that still fondly remembers the game.
