Пара советов по прохождению:
1. Когда освоите способность вора "Побег", ни в коем случае не драпайте ото всех подряд, а иначе когда доберётесь до ближайшего босса, вы ему сильно повредить не сможете, а он вас на кусочки порубает (а убегать от боссов низзяяяяяя)(при первом прохождении я сам так лоханулся).
2. Поаккуратнее также со способностью самурая "Кутила" (метает деньги во вражин), можно совсем без копейки остаться =)

Graphics:
The graphics are very inspiring and make you want to drive for hours across the vast regions of the United States. The background are sharp and quite detailed. The car models, while simplistic, are nice to look at. The colorful blasts from the various explosions also shine with clarity. In 2-4 player modes, some details and structures are left out. However, there is nothing to be ashamed about when showing off the splendor to your friends.
8/10

Sound:
Keeping with the theme of the game, the music is straight from the 70's: well, most of it. While by themselves, these funky disco songs seem corny, they help the overall gaming experience. In fact, they motivate you to keep driving the wide variety of vehicles, most of which were popular in the 70's. Sound effects also come into play during the game, in a huge way. The various weapons and the amusing voices are never muffled, but always clear. The voice acting helps to move along the story, and adds humor to the already funny game.
9/10

Control
Making the transition from the Playstation controller to the Dreamcast controller must not have been a hard task, as the controls are extremely tight. Most of the time, you feel like you have the car by its steering wheel. Spinning a car around quickly, selecting weapons, changing views, and firing the many weapons is never difficult to pull off. There are a few minor problems, such as being flipped up in the air for endless amounts of time due to the environment. An example of this is when you find the floatation device for your vehicle: you can be flipped over and stuck upside down in the water, unable to turn back over. Fortunately, there is a button combo(explained in the manual) which allows you to disengage the devices which you can attach to your vehicle. This problem hinders the experience in no way, however.
9/10

Story:
The story, while not extremely engaging, does help the transition from level to level. It also allows you to understand the three gangs and their motivation. There is a different ending for every character, which is usually humorous.
6/10

Gameplay:
A vital piece of the game, this is only an improvement from the original game. From mission to mission, you will have a blast. Even with sometime silly mission objectives, such as pick-up a briefcase, you will find yourself having fun. The missions are very easy to get involved in too. There are enough additions in V820 to make even a veteran V8 player want to pick this one up.
9/10

Replay Value:
The replay value is extremely great. It should be, as you can beat the game with one character in just a few hours. Fortunately, there are new levels to open and multiple cars to unlock. You can also upgrade each and every car by destroying other enemies and collecting upgrades. This can take quite a bit of time for each character. There are 3 primary single player modes: Arcade, Quest, and Survival. Each offering hours of fun. But it gets better, as 2-4 players can enjoy the experience as well. These modes run great, if you can get used to the small screen for each character.
10/10

Summary:
This game is excellent and you will not be disappointed if you spend your hard earned money on it. There is plenty of replay value, something lacking in many of today's video games. Car combat games are somewhat sparse on the Dreamcast, but even if there were dozens of games in the genre, Vigilante 8: Second Offense would rule them all.

StoryEdit

The story given by SNK is as follows:

Welcome to Cool Cool Toon! One day, while you were watching TV, a rabbit(?) jumped out from the monitor and dragged you into the TV!

"Uwah! Where is this? What's going on!?"

And there before your eyes was the town full of monsters, "Cool Cool Town". Then the rabbit said,

"My name's Yusa. I brought you here to so that you can use your Flitz -I mean- dances to clean up this town."

But, you explain, you aren't the dancing type.

"Eh!? ... Well, I guess you can go back home through that TV. Huh? This TV's no good. Something seems to be wrong with it."

Uh oh! Seems like you can't go back to your own world. And then Yusa said,

"Listen to me! In this world, Flitz is the best way of doing things around here. So if you win the "Flitzing Tournament" and get the grand prize, you just might find a TV that'll send you back. Y'know, to your home. You do want to go home, right? Then it's settled! I've got a lot to teach you then, and we've got a lot of Flitzing to do!"

And just like that, together with Yusa, you have to aim to be the Flitzing champion to Cool Cool Town. L'see now, wonder what things will be waiting for you up ahead...
OverviewEdit

The game's cutscenes are 2D comic pages while gameplay is 3D, hence the genre. Like most rhythm games, music choices mainly focus on the hip-hop, J-pop, and rock genre. Visuals are unlike standard SNK flair, as all of the characters are vibrant in color with a cartoony abstract or surreal feel. Although the game's setting is full of monsters and other evil creatures, the characters -as well as the entire mood of the game- are pretty light-hearted, each with their own wacky character traits to make them stand out from the rest.

The gameplay consists of "Flitzing" (or dancing) to defeat the player's opponents. A typical flitz lasts the length of a three-minute song, and requires players to move the analog pad and press buttons in sequence to the song's beat. A transparent circle is overlaid on top of the action. White ovals will close in on button icons around the diameter of the circle in a clock-wise motion -- when they turn white, you hit the corresponding key. In certain instances, you're required to make a circular motion with the pad. There are two different scenarios for the player to complete: Amp (boy) or Spica (girl). Each one has its differences for players to explore.

Players can also return to Yusa's house in between each Flitz to save the game, watch previous Flitz matches, or change your character's outfits. An on-line option was also available, as players can use the points earned after a Flitz to buy additional exclusive outfits from the game's webpage.
Cool Cool JamEdit

The NGPC version follows the adventures of Wav (boy) and Midi (girl) in Musey Town, a neighboring city of Cool Cool Town. The main focus of this game is to start a band to find the way back home, using mini-games where the player needs to compose pieces with instruments. Points earned in this game can be transferred to the Dreamcast version, allowing players to unlock more costumes and characters.

The game can be played by one or two players. In two player mode the game plays like a duet; the players take it in turn to play tune and receive a message after completion. The game also features a single player storymode which has adventure game elements. Various instruments can be played in the game. Each instrument has a different playing style. The instruments include:

Описание: Вообщем коротко о главном. Данная версия содержит в себе звуковой мод XBOX версии, тобиш вся озвучка в игре не японская как это было раньше, а английская. Для удобства игры, я портировал русский текст игры от версии "Вектор" так что, теперь пройдя первую часть игры, ни каких непривычностей недолжно быть за исключением отсутствия FULL SPEECH, полная озвучка второстепенных персонажей есть лишь на 4 диске.
О недостатках: Конечно же есть и недостатки. Но они в основном только в тексте. Проблемы чаще всего встречающиеся заключаются в не правильном падеже существительных, глаголов, прилагательных и т.д. в сабах, то есть мужчина говорит от женского рода (очень редко, встретилось лишь на 4 диске когда Рио говорил с Шенхуа) и наоборот женщина от мужского (такое бывает чаще). Бывает проскакивает английский текст, но так как в игре нет шрифтов английских символов, то это похоже на текст русских и английских букв вперемешку (такое бывает очень редко, встречалось лишь на 3 диске в квартале где на руках борются). Это что касается перевода вот..... Также, отсутствует ролик первой части на 4 диске (да он особо, то и не нужен). Я бы отнёс ещё сюда отсутствие озвучки второстепенных персонажей на первых трёх дисках. Ну пожалуй последнее, так как версия игры PAL, то сохранения от NTSC не подойдут, но для удобства, я кладу в раздачу конвертер сохранений из версии NTSC в PAL (просто запишите его на диск, а дальше всё поймёте) и все ваши сохранения из первой части вы можете перенести во вторую часть. Вообщем как бы там ни было, это всё мелочи. Версия игры играбельна. Считайте, что вы играете в версию от Вектора, но с английской речью, багов, глюков серьёзного характера - замечено не было.
