Bummer : Can't Find Hummer



Hummer is new to the arcades from Sega for 2009 and is unsurprisingly based on General Motors ugly and outrageous petrol guzzling monstrosity known to be driven by such men of style as Chris Eubank.



The game involves a whole load of "Off-Roading" in one of 3 different types of Hummer Vehicle (Rally, Sports & Sound/Street styles) .



There are 4 different courses with increasingly difficult environments to choose:

Beginner Stage: Bluster Canyon (Nice Wide Desert!)



Intermediate : Isolated Jungle (Mud and Rivers)



Hard : Caribou Valley (Ice and Snow)



Super Hard : Industrial Hill (Very Technical)



So what does Hummer offer that previous arcades don't?

Well Hummer offers a Co-Operative Driving experience! Using two steering wheels on each Arcade cabinet, two players can share the driving! When you first start the game you choose whether you are playing alone or in two player mode:



Within the game there is driver changing system prompt where the control of the Hummer moves between each player! At the end of each stage you get judged on your teamwork



You also get a boost function (gives extra speed and invincibility) which you can build up by landing your Hummer well off jumps and knocking over strategic obstacles around the courses.

So, see if you can find it in your local arcade soon however if you are looking for the monster 4 car linked machine below, your only hope maybe The Trocadero in London!
