Jimmie Johnsons Anything With An Engine

Product Review

Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine is an extreme Mario Kart type racing game as imagined by NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson. In the game world, to fulfill the competition's "Anything with an Engine!" motto, the contestants race the most insane vehicle designs created by Jimmie’s world class crew from some of the most unlikely of everyday objects – such as tubs, coffins, lawnmowers. Each vehicle is equipped with nitro, and custom front missiles, rear mines, and hydraulic rams - the event’s signature combat mechanism. All of these devices are activated and upgraded throughout each race by showing off driving skills and winning the favor of the crowds who cheer on and cast their votes to provide power-ups to the racers. Enter Jimmie's El Cajon Arena and engage in various race and elimination-style events across progressively more challenging tracks, decked out with pyrotechnics-laden theatrical sets and strewn with wicked hazards, traps, and jumps!

NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson has risen through the ranks and captured checkered flags, and now he's got his sights set on another type of racing. Instead of racing pristine vehicles at Daytona or Talladega, you'll find yourself behind the wheel of something more unique — a dumpster, a lawn mower or maybe even a shopping cart. Your vehicles can be modified too, with mines, missiles, side-rams and more. As long as it has an engine, you can race it.

This review is from: Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine (Video Game)

The game's graphics look really polished, there's a lot of personality and humor in it, and the racing is fast and frentic. You can shoot missles, drop landmines, find short-cuts, and use traps! This is like Mario Kart but with way more stuff going on and much better graphics and awesome animation, plus, you can also play as the man himself, Jimmie Johnson! All the drivers have goofy karts (there's even one guy who drives a lazy-boy-chair)! Best part is that 4 people can play it at once on 1 TV screen, or you can race other people online! This is a really fun and funny game for kids and even adults.

This game is really hilarious, I bought it for my little brother so was looking to buy some games that didn't cost me a small fortune and it's hard to find games as awesome as this for this price, worth every penny and more! Graphics are Awesome and I love that there are really funny characters... My little brother races a Toilet and the best part, there's even a shopping cart character that I can race against him haha! Thank goodness, because he's been making me play it for HOURS! :) Good Buy!
