This game even includes a 200cc Time Trials game mode which is insanely fast to play.As opposed to previous games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is intentionally designed to have a lower barrier to entry, allowing more new players to enjoy the game, but it still retains a similar level of difficulty if you aim to master the game. If the game still feels "tame" for you, then you'll definitely enjoy the game's 8 unique Battle Modes. These modes are designed to make the game as challenging as possible for you.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe shot quickly to fame since its release not only because it has the bulk of Nintendo's IPs behind it but also it is available on the highly multiplayer-oriented Nintendo Switch handheld. So, if you've got friends to play a game with, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a game you will want to buy. It can guarantee you and your friends a good and fun time!
Saints Row 2
Saints Row 2 , released back in 2009, is gangster-themed open world game that is somewhat similar to what you'll expect in an old Grand Theft Auto game. The game was originally XBox exclusive and due to this, the game may feel a lot like a port... some may even say a poor port at that. However, the game itself is pretty fun to play. There are three main gangs or factions that you'll need to exert your dominance over so that your own gang, the Saints, can thrive. As expected of a gangster-themed game, there are plenty of pretty violent side-missions as well, most of which involve driving into pedestrians, destroying other people's properties, performing a drive-by, spraying excrement on big corporations, and well, wreaking as much havoc as you can in general. However, it's a point to note that the game doesn't have prostitutes that you can hire unlike in GTA, though there are some skimpily-dressed female AIs walking about.In this game, you'll also get to own multiple cribs scattered all around the city of Stilwater, each with their own set of upgrades and customization options. Similarly, your character can be customized down to the last detail too. The best part about this game is the wide variety of fun vehicles you can steal and collect in your garage. There are even helicopters, planes, boats and motorcycles that you can steal.
Despite its rather bad (by today's quality and standards) graphics, Saints Row 2 is a pretty huge game. Only the main missions will take you hours of gameplay, let alone the many side missions, the hours you put in to collect your fleet of cool cars, exploring the city's every nook and cranny, and even finding and getting the items you need to customize your character's looks. If you're into this sort of games, Saints Row 2 is definitely worth the price.
