From the developers of Sleeping Dogs comes LittleBigPlanet Karting! I shit you not; both games were released in the same year by the same developer. This is mostly just Modnation Racers but with a LittleBigPlanet skin and a campaign to play around in. Ten years later, it has the same issue Modnation Racers has: the online component of this game is arguably its selling point, so there's no reason to go back to it without it. But unlike Modnation Racers, LittleBigPlanet Karting gives you more tools to play around with.

I'll say this: for as meh as the actual racing part of this racing game is, there's a pretty solid arena mode in there with weapons that you can create yourself. I remember creating insanely unbalanced weapons back in the day, and that was always the highlight of this game for me. But other than that, the developers did a pretty admirable job emulating the look and feel of LBP, and I respect that.
