Being a limousine driver isn't an easy gig. You've always got to worry about people running in the street, cars falling from the sky and, of course, what hat you're going to put on your vehicle. But most importantly, how do you differentiate yourself? Georgio Ramos decided to make her mark on the exciting world of limo driving by becoming the world's foremost revolving chauffeur. But the colorful action game Roundabout isn't just about her journey to fame. It's a story in which love, drugs, revenge, anarchy and more all come together to form one of the most delightfully absurd games in recent memory. If you really want to boil it down, Roundabout is what you get when you throw Crazy Taxi, Tony Hawk, Click above for more Roundabout images. Roundabout is short, but sweet. If you just blaze through the story you can be done in a couple hours or less. Those hours are kept fresh with a handful of challenges that break up the pure driving (such as a destruction derby event and a mission to bounce a soccer ball on your limo repeatedly), which can be replayed for higher leaderboard scores. You're also encouraged to dive back into the world of Roundabout to find all its collectibles, finish each mission's goals, or play through the entire game in an "eSports" speedrun mode that eliminates the FMV stuff. But even without the incentives to keep playing after the credits roll, Roundabout works well as a short chunk of oddbeat humor and arcade-like gameplay. It's unapologetic in its goofiness, and it tells a fun story on top of its relatively unique gameplay. Sure, you can draw comparisons to the games that inspired it, but when was the last time you played an absurdist 1970s limousine game that was this much fun?
