Jimmie Johnsons Anything With An Engine USA Wii-APATHY

Jimmie
Johnson is the new face of NASCAR. He plays a lot of videogames in
between his races – you know, the ones hes constantly winning – and a
year ago approached a college buddy of his about creating a racing game
of his own. Fast forward to today. Here comes Jimmy Johnsons Anything
With an Engine, a quirky racing title for PSN/XBLA/Wii thats a far cry
from what youd expect from a career stock car driver.

Anything With an Engine is a kart racing game
akin to Mario Kart, one of Jimmies go-to games when hes on the road. Its
not a NASCAR title, focusing instead on crazy, slapped-together
vehicles that have no business on any road. Vehicles in the demo
included bomb with wheels, a riding lawnmower, and an Indy sort of car,
showing that the general vehicles live up to the Anything With an Engine
name. Its inspired by real life too, as Jimmie spends his own time
sometimes strapping engines to things like barstools and turning them
into rides.
The one mode I saw during the brief demo was a pretty
standard race. Eight cars lined up at the start, running through five
laps in order to see who came in first. Winning, though, is only a small
part of the fun, as the chaotic racing and battling for position is
where Anything With an Engine hopes to draw players in. Starting with no
weapons whatsoever, players run over triggers on the ground that grant
them upgrades, including a bash ability that knocks opponents to their
sides. Along the way theyll also gain access to other armaments like
missiles and mines, giving them tools to wreak havoc on any player who
wanders into range.
As if driving and battling wasnt enough, players
can also hit red triggers throughout the courses that release traps.
Traps might electrocute players ahead of you, or maybe trigger parts of
the environment to surge across the track and wreck unsuspecting
players. Players also have to dodge hazards that can wreck themselves,
such as red arrows that sling you in the wrong direction – including off
the track.
Kart racers are fun by yourself, but this downloadable
title aims to sweeten the pot by supporting up to four players in local
split-screen coop. If you and your buddies want to hop online and battle
against the rest of the world, thats OK too; Anything With an Engine
supports any combination of local and online players.
It doesnt have
a release date other than "sometime in 2011," and theres still a host
of details yet to be revealed (like other modes and racers), but
Anything With An Engine could be a downloadable solution for racing fans
looking for something outside of simulations like Gran Turismo and
Forza. Sure, it might not have that many original ideas outside of the
absurd nature of the vehicles, but the saying goes "if it aint broke,
dont fix it" for a reason. Or, in the case of racer Jimmie Johnson, "if
it aint broke, how about we mangle it, strap an engine to it, and have
some fun."
