Sledgehammer

About

Sledgehammer is a chaotic racing game where you pilot a truck that shifts between combat and race modes. Switching between configurations lets you speed with boosters and lay mines in race mode or wield weapons like rocket launchers and saws in combat. Missions mix racing, survival, and odd jobs like transporting massive vehicles or defusing bombs. Progression unlocks upgrades that tweak performance, appearance, or firepower. The game’s oddball mission variety stands out, with 12 distinct modes spanning races, brawls, and delivery challenges. Six episodes tie together a B-movie plot about a trucker forced to kill for a shadowy agency. While the 2008 release date and LAN-only multiplayer feel dated, the truck’s transformable design and weaponized mechanics made it a niche standout at the time.

Storyline

Jack Hammer is a truck driver with a problem. A guy named Jorge planted a bomb in his head and forces him to work for the Agency which requires him to kill people. Granted, the guys he kills aren't angels themselves but still Jack isn't very fond of working for Jorge so he tries to find a way to get back to him.
