Vigilante is a side-scrolling beat-em-up. It features an anonymous tough hero that roams the streets to beat up The Rogues gang that kidnapped his girlfriend Maria. The game offers five distinct locations, such as city streets and a junkyard, with many different thugs with different strengths. You fight with your fists, feet and a chain, with a regular stance, crouched and jumping attacks. Each level features an end boss which requires a specific tactic in order to progress. Enemies keep spawning continuously from the left and the right side of the screen until the boss is reached, so a steady pace forward is required to reach the end of the level before time runs out. When enemies come too close they will grab the character and quick presses left and right are need to set him free, as he is then vulnerable to incoming attacks. - www.Mobygames.com
This side-scrolling beat-em-up has attractive visuals but absolutely <i>wretched</i> controls! The two buttons let you punch and kick, and hitting both causes you to jump straight up (<i>whoopie!</i>). In theory it's possible to perform a jump-kick, but I've only been able to execute that by <i>accident!</i> The first few low-lifes are easily dispatched by a well-timed kick or punch. Should an approaching thug get too close, he'll grab hold of you and rapidly drain your health, forcing you to wiggle frantically to escape. The thing is, enemies soon begin approaching from both sides, and since you can't defeat both, one will always grab you and inflict mandatory damage. By stage two the controls become downright unresponsive as thugs just walk right up and grab you at will. If somebody designed this game specifically to piss me off, he did a <i>great</i> job! Your one saving grace is the nun-chucks weapon, which make it considerably easier to dispatch these bullies. One thing I do like about Vigilante is its vividly detailed graphics. In the first stage you walk down a street lined with interesting business establishments and billboard advertisements. The second stage takes place in a junkyard but boasts a gorgeous orange sunset. The third stage features a spectacular New York skyline in which the twin towers are visible. The bosses are generally push-overs, and I was able to defeat the first one by punching him in the crotch about 30 times in a row (<i>please kids, don't try this at home!</i>). The music is standard Master System fare (toddler at a toy piano). Vigilante is a good-looking game rendered barely playable by poor controls. So if you need more frustration in your life, reach for Vigilante! - www.Videogamecritic.com
