I’ll admit, I’ve never played Jimmie Johnson’s foray into the world of interactive entertainment, but I respect it. The game tells you what it’s about, right there in the title. And even though the name leaves things quite open-ended — we’re talking anything with an engine, truly — the result is even stranger than you could imagine.
This is basically a glorified kart racer, couched in zany characters and zanier vehicles, like V8-powered reclining sofa chairs and cement mixers. Of course, the man himself makes many appearances — with full voice acting, no less. That seems to be where the budget ran out, though, because the story cutscenes play out as slideshows, with static, unanimated computer-generated representations of Jimmie and his made-up friends. Look for it on a future Jalopnik stream, as soon as I manage to source a copy.
Those are 10 of our picks for the weirdest driving games ever made, but we’re just scratching the tip of the iceberg here. What else deserves a mention? Let us know in the comments.
