Hydro Thunder Hurricane Review
Hydro Thunder Hurricane is the resurrection of an old racing franchise, probably best known for its arcade and Sega Dreamcast iterations in the 90s. After the game's publisher Midway went bankrupt, Microsoft bought the franchise license, deciding to bring Hydro Thunder to Xbox Live Arcade. The end result is Hydro Thunder Hurricane, a high definition sequel that stays very close to its aquatic racing roots. Hurricane's strengths lie in its unique water mechanics, numerous multiplayer options, and collective unlock system. One notable drawback is the generally bland presentation, which consists of dull, flat textures and an instantly forgettable soundtrack. Overall, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is an enjoyable arcade racing experience.
