I could never play Twisted Metal as a kid, so this was my substitute

What was really cool was on the PS1 version, once the map loaded, you could open the disc tray, put in a CD, and you could listen to your own CDs while playing that level.

I remember in the sequel that the stages changed if you did certain things. For example, in the manor stage if you destroyed the floodgates the entire level would flood, or in Arizona if you destroyed an observatory a meteor would crash and if you went to check on it a giant space ant would come out and start wrecking shit.

They don't make games like these anymore... Thank you so much for the memories.

Fuck yea. Played this on my PSone the most.

I actually preferred Vigilante 8 to Twisted Metal...

Roxasnraziel · 2 months

This game truly was a lot of fun. Disco, aliens, hippies, and the wanton destruction of all of the above. This and Rogue Trip are my two favorite auto-combat games, but Rogue Trip is damned-near IMPOSSIBLE to find.

Also, Rush 2049 for N64 had a ton more features than the arcade version. 4 player split screen battles with my brother and our friends, is how we spent our summer vacation.

samred92 · 2 months

I have this for Dreamcast but I've never actually played it because it doesn't support VGA display. Is it worth pulling out the standard A/V cable in order to play?

This and Road Rash were my favorites.

russbaker37 · 2 months

If I had to choose, Rush 2049 was the best "car-shooter" game. Although, it was mainly a racing game, the battle mode was so much fun.

brokeNtoken1 · 2 months

I am sad that you said substitute. I spent an heinous amount of time enjoying this and second offense. I played hours of the twisted metal series as well, however the Vigilante 8 series will always by my favorite of the vehicular combat genre. The playstation version had some great advantages as well. If you inserted the disc for the first game on the map selection screen of second offense, you gained access to all the maps. You could even remove the disc during the game to insert any of your own cds for a customized sound track.

Bonus about this game was me learning how to properly pronounce vigilante.

Sanosuke97322 · 2 months

I forgot to return that game and was charged a late fee that was more than the cost of the game, so my mom just bought it. Best oops of my life right there.

dude, I was just thinking about this game earlier at work! I was going to post something about it on here, but you were probably posting while I was thinking, bastard wizardry. Tis a great game.

SmilingMason · 2 months

I guess I would say the violence is toned down in that game, but doesn't it curse quite a bit? I could just be imagining it, it has been well over a decade since I played it.

xiggy · 2 months

This was a great game, but it never occurred to me, were there 7 Vigilante games prior to this one?

Dimatizer · 2 months

This game was so much fun. Played with Shiela. You get the special and both kinds of rockets then just spam fire and switch weapons at the same time to get crazy multipliers. You wrecked enemies so fast that way.

Pippkorn · 2 months

I remember playing this game as a kid, I sucked at it but still thought it was fun. So awesome too see it again!

I still have the cartridge. On the shelf next to mario party. I always used the hillbilly in the camper truck.

ImShawn · 2 months

DUDE. So much nostalgia. I never owned the game though. My mother would let us rent video games sometimes, and this was always our first choice. None of us really had any idea how to play the game, then again, if I remember right, all you did is crash into shit. We'd stay up late and milk the little time we had with the game dry.

Hudek · 2 months

Right in the nostalgia. Thank you for the childhood memories.

CloudCircus · 2 months

Why couldn't you play Twisted Metal? You were allowed Twizzlers weren't you? "We're twisted and we like it," or so the commercial went.

Juanathin · 2 months

Holy shit that game. Whenever I went over to my friends house when I was younger we would play that instead of do kids stuff. Greatest game ever.

all i remember from that game was the one lady character who said, "I may be half human, but I'm all woman"
