Three minute review:
That's strange, this game tried to install itself to the Star Warrior folder (a previous Some Company giveaway). It's reminiscent of Alien Shooter and the RIP series, though the enemies are on a slightly larger scale.
Installation was a breeze with a combined activation and set up module. Controls are fully keyboard controlled with the ability to change key bindings from the options menu. Though you can use the mouse for shooting (left mouse button) and changing your weapons (mouse wheel). There is no problems with key bindings as far as I can see, though if your not paying attention you may think that reverse is forwards as the Humvee looks vaguely similar from the back, (though it isn’t, lol)
If you’re into killing you’ll like today’s offering. The game play isn’t very variable, but for a few minutes of mindless violence this game should sate your appetite. You start the game with three weapons a mini gun, flame thrower and missile launcher (accessible via the mouse wheel) as well as a mine thrower. You’ll find power ups scattered amongst the trees in the first level that initially contained health packs only, or information points (that looked like suitcases). I didn’t play beyond level one so I can’t say whether there are new weapons to collect, or whether the enemy get vehicles themselves.
Images
The following images aren’t exhaustive. It’s too nice a day (in the UK) to play arcade games so the following images were taken just to give you a quick impression of the game. When Googling Humvee Attack I didn’t get any hits which would lead me to believe the game has recently been released.

Music:
The music (if you can call it that) does fit with the theme, but if you want real music you can do a swap for other MP3’s. There’s no conversion necessary, though you will need to rename the music to the two files you replace. (Main and Menu). You can find the music files within the Data/music folder of the Humvee Attacks games folder.
Conclusion
It’s not the most endearing or exciting of games but I’ll be keeping this one as there’s some fun to it. The controls are a little difficult at first, but once you get used to them they are okay.
I reckon this is worth a reasonable 6.5 out of 10.
Thank you ‘Some Company’ and the Game Giveaway team for something different for a change. (not that I’m knocking the repeats as I lost many of them last year and also there are many who hadn’t discovered the giveaway project last year).
