HUMMER®: Badlands
When there's tough terrain to be mastered, hill climbs to conquer, and challenges requiring on and off-road power, the HUMMER® is the only vehicle for the job.
Race across tarmac and dirt trails, tackle extreme off-road challenges like inclines and shifting terrain, power through low-gear hazards, and sweep away the opposition to prove your ultimate driving skills in HUMMER®: Badlands.

Extreme Off-Road Challenges
HUMMER®: Badlands includes two Extreme Off-Road Challenges in Single Player:
•
Granny Gear: The ultimate test of control and balance! You'll face an increasingly difficult assortment of trials and obstacles – speed-sapping climbs, uneven terrain, river-crossings, and more. You're against the clock, but flat-out speed isn't always the answer. Keep your gearing low and the power constant to conquer each challenge.
•
Pike's Peak: The extreme off-road challenge. Battle to the summit, through dense undergrowth, up extreme gradients, and over shifting road surfaces. It's a high-speed climb against the clock; follow the navigation prompts and check out the best route. The clearest route isn't always the quickest.
Beat the Clock
In this mode, you're racing against the clock! To continue racing, you must reach the Checkpoint within the designated time. Doing so grants a Time Bonus to continue to the next Checkpoint. Failure ends your race.
Championship
Championship is the heart of HUMMER®: Badlands. Here you compete in a series of races against 3 rival drivers. Your goal is to finish in first place in each race, unlocking further challenges and Hummer® Vehicles.
As you race, watch for off-road shortcuts, obstacles, and more, as they can mean the difference between success and failure. There are five locations, each with five races. Your ultimate objective is to rank first place at each.
Quick Race
This mode allows you to replay any races you have unlocked in Championship Mode.
Time Trial
The aim here is simple: set the best possible lap time you can, within the 3 lap limit and with no opponents to obstruct you. Your best times are then recorded and saved with your Profile.
Multiplayer Menu
Quick Race
Here two players compete against each other in a one-off race. Any Race unlocked in Championship Mode may be raced here.
Pursuit Race
In this mode, both players start on opposite sides of the track. The goal is simple: close the gap on your opponent! Whichever player has made the most headway by the end of the final lap is declared the winner.
Tug O' War
The ultimate head-to-head challenge! Slam into reverse and drag your opponent towards you. Flooring the gas pedal isn't the answer! Control your revs to hold your position and use strategic bursts of speed to overpower your opponent. The outer circular traction gauge lights up showing your traction - attempt to hold the lights on your gauge at the vertical position to ensure maximum traction.
