Gameplay
You could of controlled multiple characters, each with different abilities and stats. The plot and other elements would be influenced by which characters you use to play as.

Development
The Vatz, in essence, is basically a tech demo for their Goliath engine. This engine was ideal for the large city settings.

Cancellation
Development was halted when the company decided to port games rather than make them. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and 4 being ported to Mac computers took priority, so The Vatz was cancelled.
