Available for download off the Xbox Live Arcade is brand new Arcade gaming goodness in the form of Isopod Labs' Vigilante 8 Arcade.
For 800 Microsoft points and 118MBs of hard drive space, you'll be thrust into Vigilante 8's world of vehicular destruction and vehicular combat that may get so intense, your eyes may start tearing up. View the V8 screenshot gallery below and give the trial a download. Otherwise, you could always wait for this week's XBLA in Brief.

Unlikely 90% of most recent XBLA games, I may have to try this one...

This game wasnt as fun as I remember unfortunately.

Definalty not as fun as i remember but online play and split screen im sure will be a hoot when i try it. Single player not recommended!

Ugh, yeah it's not as fun as I remember either. Part of the problem I'm having with it is the bugs. Going 2 MPH, hit a rock, rocket into the sky like I was going 200 MPH. Crashing into another car, both models clip together (essentially becoming one demon car!) Or my personal favorite- Hit by a mortar, clip through the map and sit "below" for the rest of the game.
Fun but flawed.

Not as much fun as I remembered it, either.

But still fun!
A little "tweaky" to try and aim, but fun..

I'll probably get about 5 again, and then give up like I usually do ;)

I bought this at 5 am last night soon as it appeared on XBL. Granted I was waiting till 5 am so I could copp it. Now let's see if Dead Samurai and SSFIITHDR ever come out.

As far as I remember, that game was crap when it came out in the first place (ps1, was it?)
