Just Cause 2 vs Rise Up
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 is the explosive sequel to the popular and incredibly cinematic "destruction galore", third-person action adventure game, Just Cause. Offering players a whole new map (another tropical island called Panau) to explore in the game's wide variety of land, sea, and sky vehicles along with Rico's wingsuit, you can now perform stunts like never before since the game now allows you to free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, skydive, para sail, slingshot, and more. You can also dual wield your grappling hook in Just Cause 2, allowing epic scenes of you dangling in between two helicopters possible. You can even have fun racing on the many circuits on the island.Unlike the previous game, the physics in this one is a lot more realistic as well, lending the game a deeper form of immersion it needs to distance itself from the dark trench that's called "arcade-like". There are plenty of missions (of all lengths) for you to complete too!
As you might have also gleaned so far, the game retains its over-the-top animations, so if you fancy yourself an action film actor, this game series is the closest you can get to actually being one. So, looking to destroy some stuff and walk away backed with a glorious fiery explosion? You can experience all of that and more in Just Cause 2 (or any of the more recent Just Cause games).
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
