In the spirit of pointless, watered-down Mario Kart clones like Looney Tunes Space Race, Crash Nitro Kart, Toy Story Racer and Mario Kart: Double Dash, we give you:

John Wayne Gacy’s Killer Klown Karting

No more cute ickle baby dinosaurs or fwuffy-yuffy anthropomorphised armadillos. This is a GROWN-UP game for the Inner Goth in all of us. A game for senseless violence fans the world over (but mostly heavy-metal fans in the Midlands and small-town American teenagers), a game for stab-happy gore-voyeurs and dictionary-owning habitue-aficionados of grand guignol. THIS... IS A GAME.

Select your character from a bunch of deeply unpleasant, real-life (but mostly dead) serial killers:

‘Chuckling’ Chuckie Manson (‘The Family Guy’)

‘Angry’ Andrei Chikatilo (‘Russia’s Greatest Murder Machine’)

‘Raping’ Ricky Ramirez (‘The Naughty Night Stalker’)

‘Jolly’ Jimbo Jones (‘A Smile, A Chant, A Mass Suicide’)

‘Homicidal’ Henry Lee Lucas (“People equal shit”)

‘Hanging’ Harold Shipman (“I’m innocent. I tripped. 215 Times”)

‘Profoundly Psychopathic’ Freddie West (“Grar! GROOOOAAAAGG!!”)

Unlockable ‘classic’ bloodthirsty krazies include:
‘Gross’ Genghis Khan
‘Grandaddy Daycare’ King Herod
‘Big Boy’ Bubba Plague
Sir Arthur ‘Mad Bomber’ Harris.

(Not actual in-game footage).

Gain ground and hinder opponents with a veritable cornuc-arsenal-copia-Aladdin’s-Cave of comedy weaponry:
