Developed by Isopod Labs and released in 2011, Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine is an arcade-style racing game for PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 built around NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson. True to its title, the game emphasizes unconventional racing by placing drivers in a wide variety of motorized vehicles rather than traditional race cars. The title takes a lighthearted approach to the racing genre, distinguishing itself from simulation-focused competitors through its emphasis on unusual and varied machinery. Available across all three major console platforms of the era, it serves as an accessible entry point into arcade racing for fans of Johnson and casual racing enthusiasts alike, blending the recognizable branding of one of NASCAR's most prominent figures with a concept centered on the idea that any motorized contraption is fair game for competition.
