New boys on the block, Isopod Labs, made up from the key members of the Luxoflux team (the original developers of the game) announced that they would be bringing Vigilante 8 to the Xbox Live Arcade.
The main goal for Vigilante 8 Arcade is to take down your other opponents using your vehicle and its weapons. The weapons include Interceptor Missiles, Bull's Eye Rockets, Bruiser Cannons, Sky Hammer Mortars, Roadkill Mines and the Special Weapons (probably the most interesting). Each vehicle has its own Special Weapon, so it varies on the car you choose. My favourite example of this is the Camper Van, which produces a bee hive. As for the rest of the weapons, they are pretty easy to follow and nothing we haven't seen before. It would have been nice to see some additional weapons introduced to the game though this hasn't been the case..."
