Kotaku posted this clip today and I nearly choked to death from laughter.

I thought this game was a joke... a clever machinima movie.

Then, I found out it's an actual game, called 'Zoo Race,' made by actual good-guy developers whose purpose is to make fun games free of violence and nastiness. The game's inventiveness should become legendary.

From what I can tell, you play a human that turns into an animal and challenges other morphed humans to a race. The race begins normal enough... the animals race though a dirt course then strangely jump into a lake... they swim into what looks like a a theme park log ride... eventually the animals leave the water and climb ladders into waiting cannons (!!!??)... the animals are launched from the cannons and into a building with a skull capped doorway... the animals descend through an amusement park type haunted house ride complete with fire, balloons, a playground merry-go-round and signs warning of dangerous hydrogen... ultimately, everyone ends up in a subterranean disco. I'm serious, it's a disco. And the animals dance with each other.

Then, the animals make their way out of this weird underworld by hopping on board a freight train which busts through some rocks and takes the racers to a launch pad with multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles... each animal hops on their designated rocket and flies to the finish line.

I'm mad that I don't have an imagination like this. Watch the video. You can't even begin to comprehend this:

There is a site for the game... visit it here.
