Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense is basically car combat chaos cranked up to 11. You pick a ride—some are fast and flimsy, others are slow tanks with way too many guns—then blast through wild maps like a desert full of geysers or a neon-lit city. The weapons are ridiculous in the best way: homing missiles, oil slicks, even a disco ball that makes enemies dance while you wreck them.

What I love is how the arenas aren’t just backdrops—stuff explodes, bridges collapse, and sometimes the whole level shifts mid-fight. First time I played, I spent way too long just messing around with the hovercraft on the zero-gravity map. It’s dumb fun, but there’s actually some strategy in picking the right car for your playstyle (or just going full kamikaze with the school bus).

If you ever played Twisted Metal and wanted more ridiculousness, this is it.
