Hydro Thunder Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this game after playing it at a local arcade. This game is incredible!!! Some of the best graphics I have ever seen! The tracks are great, with hidden shortcuts and boosters evrywhwere. You start out with three different speedboats that are loyal throughout the whole game, then as you get better and start beating the tracks in 1st 2nd or 3rd you start getting amazing tracks from Lake Powell to New York. after you get the easy mediun and hard levels and boats, You can try your luck and go for the bonus tracks and boats, which are extremely fun ranging from a fishing boat to a armed responce ship, and the tracks like Nile Adventure which will blow your mind.

The best game ever is this one. With awsome 3D graphics. With the best boats and tracks, including bonus tracks and boats to win. plus even more extra boats on the tracks for fun like cruise ships. Animals and people are also in it for example killer wales and eskemos in the alaska track. The place I played this game was at a bowling party. I would give this game six stars instead of five. I would highly recommend this game for anybody who likes boats or racing.

Having played this game in the arcade, I went out and got it for my N64. I wasn't very surprised at how the game ran, because I had played it before, but I was a bit disappointed in the graphics. I was using an Expansion Pak and I thought they could still be better. Althought the boats and courses are very interesting, most of your time is spent trying to beat them. The easy levels are far too easy, and then the medium levels get dramatically hard. The hard levels are basically impossible except for New York Disaster. Although I do like all the boats you can get, my personal favorites are Razorback, Rad Hazard, and Tidal Blade. What is also good is that you can adjust the camera angle any way you want to, so once you find the right view for you, you won't be bothered by the game. The courses are well designed with lots of shortcuts, but it gets very annoying trying to beat them. I really like the way the police that chase you in the Far East, The Greek Isles, and Venice Canals all speak in a different language, so it makes them sound funny. There are also major drops like the ones in Lake Powell that are extremely fun to manuver. The point is, the game is fun, but it could have been better.

Honest reviews on Hydro Thunder

This port of the classic arcade game might be a slight step down graphics wise, but still delivers the face-paced water racing experience of the original. Very challenging for beginners, yet well worth the time needed to overcome the relatively steep learning curve. If you liked the original arcade game or water-borne racing in general, this is a must have for N64 owners.
