The United States was on the verge of economic breakdown, with crime, strikes and riots rampant.
V8 Arcade is built around an alternate history, in which there was a serious worldwide oil crisis in the 1970s. The second, Garage, is an oversized level set in a giant garage, making vehicles the size of an RC car. The first, Stunt Track, is a circular track that has ramps, loops and other daredevil-esque hazards. Two additional levels are available via downloadable content. Some of the game's levels are inspired by multiple levels from the previous games, melded together to create a new environment. The game includes five levels, each inspired by original Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8: Second Offense levels, but with modified layouts. It features two modes, Deathmatch, which pits all players against each other, and Team Co-Op, where all human players work together against AI opponents. Multiplayer can be played with up to four players via splitscreen, Xbox Live or in any combination of the two.
VIGILANTE 8 XBOX FREE
Free Wheelin' is a mode with no AI that allows the players to drive around the environment, searching for secrets and learning the layout. Custom Battle is similar, but allows the players to choose both the characters and the arena to play in. In Quick Battle players are given and random vehicle to combat against random enemies until the player is either dead or victorious. In Quest mode, players choose a character and play through the game from that character's perspective, learning about the character's background as the game progresses.
V8 Arcade features four single player game modes.
VIGILANTE 8 XBOX UPGRADE
The game uses a salvage point upgrade system similar to Vigilante 8: Second Offense, meaning that vehicles can be upgraded by picking up salvage point icons dropped by enemies. Each can be fired in a total of four ways, the weapon's standard operation and via three specialized, more powerful attacks unique to that weapon. Weapon powerups are littered throughout each map and can range from heat seeking missiles to mines. Each vehicle is equipped with machine guns and one special attack that is unique to that vehicle. Vigilante 8: Arcade is a vehicular combat game in which vehicles are outfitted with weaponry to combat opponents.
