I always liked this game better than Twisted Metal, and with 8 player online, updated graphics, and "a host of new content", it should be a blast :)

I remember playing Vigilante 8 on the original PS. That was a fun car-combat, Twisted Metal type of game. I'm not sure, but I think there may have been a Vigilante 8 II as well.

Cool news (although I don't own a 360). I used to play V8 a lot on the N64 way back when.

I remember playing this game for ours on the PSX. Fun stuff.

Wasn't it a sequel to the PC game Interstate 76? That game was really friggin cool cause you could drive off of the Grand Canyon and whatnot.
