Vigilante 8 is a beautiful shoot- em-up driving game that also happens to be a lot of fun.

Lining a target up in your sights is easy enough using the digital pad, and controlling the vehicle is even more smooth when you use the analog pads on a Dual Shock controller. You ll need all the help you can get, as the enemy vehicles are relentless. Graphically this game is a stunner, with terrific lighting effects and over-the-top explosions.
