Game Chronicles - When I first got the email asking me to review Jimmie Johnson’s Anything With An Engine, I was told it was a kart racing game. That peaked my interest. I love racing go-karts. Gran Turismo 5 is my favorite racing game, mostly because it has realistic kart racing. Immediately I imagined that paying a high profile driver like Jimmie Johnson to be their cover guy must mean he was going back to his roots and endorsing a great realistic kart racing game. I was looking forward to some time behind my Logitech racing wheel.
According to Bryan May, the Sports Director at KXTV News10, many of today's NASCAR drivers like to play kart racing video games between actual races. If that's the case, then it's no wonder that Autumn Games and Konami have published Jimmy Johnson's Anything with an Engine -- a kart racing game as envisioned by the NASCAR driver himself.

Shank 2! The multiplayer is like Smash Bros. Melee. So awesome.
That sounds great...Shank 2 and Free Simpsons Arcade. Hmmm sounds like a win-win week
Gotham City Impostors for me... this game has gotten little coverage considering the beta is stupid fun.
Download the BINARY DOMAIN demo from the Japanese ps store, very good!! Didn't even know about it 'till yesterday.
"The whole time Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine was in development and I saw updates on the game, I kept thinking how much it resembled that old cartoon, Wacky Races. The entire premise of this game, however, suggests a low bar of acceptance levels with respect to the eligibility of prospective competitors. Perhaps this is what perpetuated that look of mediocrity I sensed when I first saw the game in its earlier days. Yet, Jimmie Johnson himself has described the game as "ground-breaking". Is there any truth to that statement?" -- Wiiloveit.com
