    HYDRO THUUNDERRRRRR!!!!

    First off let me say I was a big fan of the Dreamcast version.  Of all the XBLA summer titles coming out this is the only one that I knew I was going to buy.  So what makes this game worth the money.  The graphics and animations are great in this classic arcade style game, some of the best Ive seen on the XBLA marketplace.  The gauntlet and ring modes add plenty to the gameplay, mostly the ring mode which I suggest playing just to find some shortcuts that you may miss playing only races.  The best gameplay mode however is the multiplayer racing, local or online, It really captures the essence of the Rush, Sega GT and Hydro thunder games of old.  The last XBox racer I enjoyed this much was  Burnout Revenge.  What could make this better? Probably some more tracks and a couple of boats they left out from the old Dreamcast game.  But if you want a great multiplayer and single player racing game, that is not totally original but like nothing else on the XBox you could do alot worse than H.T.H.

Lets find out. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is all about simple fun racing, th...

      I don't really have that much experience with the original Hydro Thunder. It was always a game that was around at the local Nickel City but was always occupied with players both playing and waiting to play. I found myself playing things that were open and available most of the time. The times I did play it, it seemed like a perfectly fast, fun, and colorful water racing game.I am happy to say that this new entry in the series is exactly that. It's pretty fast, it's very fun, and the cours...
