Jimmie Johnsons Anything With An Engine
SCORE: 60
Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine
is probably the most crude, and brash kart racing game on the Xbox 360,
Wii, and Playstation 3. That is saying quite a lot. I can barely figure
out where to start with Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine. The
idea of turning a lawn mower into a racing machine is interesting. So is
the recliner. But a toilet? A bomb? A bath tub? I don't need to go any
further. The vehicles in Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine are
the most bizarre of any racing game.
The first shocking thing I noticed about Jimmie Johnson's Anything With
An Engine (aside from the vehicles) is the attire of the female
announcer. She looks like a prostitute. I can not think of a tactful way
of saying it. The violence in Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine
is fast and furious. Weapons are used to disassemble your opponents. If
you can make the pits then you can repair the damage. The computer
controlled characters are extremely aggressive.
I expected some crude humor from Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An
Engine. This is sort of like that Redneck Jamboree. Expect characters
with certain stereotypes to be accentuated. I was not expecting the bad
language. There are words in Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine
that I do not use as an adult. I do not want children talking that way.
Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine also contains sexual innuendo.
The shining star saving grace of Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An
Engine is the replay value. That is if you can stomach all of the
content issues. Four family members can play Jimmie Johnson's Anything
With An Engine. There are leaderboards, online play for up to eight
players, and game content downloads. Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An
Engine includes achievements for those that like to earn meaningless
badges.
Most racing games start out easy, and progressively become more
difficult. Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine starts out hard, and
then gets insanely difficult. There is a tutorial that teaches the
basics of the game. I was able to succeed at that. Jimmie Johnson's
Anything With An Engine does throw a lot of different kinds of races at
the player. My issue is the game is too hard. Ultimately only hardcore
gamers need to apply. And even they will get frustrated.
The 3D support on the Xbox 360 and Playstation are nice touches for
Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine.
I am baffled as to how Jimmie Johnson's Anything
With An Engine earned an 'E10+' rating. With all of the content
issues, Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine is easily deep into the
'T' for Teen rating. I learned bad attitudes, women are sex objects, and
to destroy everything in my way to get to the top. Jimmie Johnson's
Anything With An Engine could be a training module for CEO's in
corporate America.
There are some really good ideas in Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An
Engine, and it could have been a really good game. Sadly there are too
many anti-family issues. Add into the mix an extremely difficult kart
racing game, and Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine turned into a
disappointment for me.
