This game gets my vote as the best non-SEGA arcade racing game to ever make a home conversion. What do you have? A PERFECT recreation of an awesome arcade game, complete with Soul Calibur quality graphics, sweet controls, crystal clear sound, and awesome arcade gameplay. Of course the best thing about this game is that you won't have to insert any quarters time and again in order to unlock all the awesome hidden vehicles and tracks. It DOES get hard later on, but isn't that what an arcade game is supposed to do?
Perhaps the only real problem with this game is that the interface needed a little more work. If this game let you restart a track from the pause menu instead of backing all the way out to the main menu, it would have been perfect. As it is, it's an awesome, awesome arcade conversion that arcade racing fans should definitely not miss.

The first three tracks are fun and there are secret passages in all the tracks to earn more boosters so you can go faster. Some of the boats are hard to steer, but the only problem you will have is you are suppose to clear the first three tracks by third place in order to open the other tracks. It is impossible to place third on two of the tracks even through the secret passages, which are also short cuts. I played this game the first time at an arcade place and I loved it. It was played so many times that all the tracks were available to race in and those other tracks were alot more fun, than the first three. After having owned this game for 5 years, these tracks are getting a little old to race over and over again.

Except for having to start over at the beginning menu each and every time at the end of a race, I really love this game. The graphics are spectacular, the boats are all different and handle differently. Easily addictive.

Hydro Thunder is, as typical Midway games are, a wild ride. Unfortunately, that's all you get. This game is about racing powerful boats along water canals. And you thought there was more? If you count secret passages, speedups, cheesy AI, ridiculous scenery, and a bumpy learning curve enough to call this a worthwile game, by all means run to your local store. If not, you're like me who yawned after the first half-hour. The game also has a two player mode, but it wears thin like the single player scenario. A four player option could have saved this game from sinking to the bottom of my list.
CONCLUSION: Another Midway cheap thrill. Rent this first, you'll be happy you did.
