Hummer Badlands
It can be argued that the only thing better than a Hummer is many of them. Unless, of course, you're talking low-rent, b-grade, cookie-cutter off-road racing games that feature many Hummers in likeness only and otherwise play like die-cast toys in the backyard sandbox, as is the case with Hummer Badlands from GlobalStar, in which case one Hummer is enough but thanks for the color options and L/XL/XXL sizing selection just the same.
Hummer Badland's utter lack of racing sophistication makes it a throwback to early 90's arcade racers where pedal goes to metal, crashing is just a fleeting hindrance with nary a dent to the licensed vehicle involved and everybody crosses the finish line within seconds of each other regardless.
On the upside, Hummer Badlands is appropriately priced, a cheap little gimmick game that is, nevertheless, fun for an hour or two, especially with really young kids that have only recently mastered the art of pressing go and then letting the thing lumber and bounce it's way to the finish line.
