I think Hydro Thunder is one of the most exciting fast thrilling game out there for dreamcast. All the racing games for dreamcast are great such as Sega Gt, or Test Drive Lemans, but Hydro thunder is top of the line. You have many fun and hard courses to race on with many cool diffrent boats which look very realistic on the screen. Lots of fast movement to keep you busy for hours! This would be a great game for any racing fan that owns a dreamcast system *BUY IT!*

This is a potentially great game that was really anticipated for the release on dreamcast. When I heard of this game, I was filled with joy and expectations that this game would exceed the arcade quality. WRONG! The only difference I found was that there was a useless 2-player mode that only goes head-to-head. There was no 2-player championship mode and not single practice run option. The lack of options and mode generally hampered the quality of this game badly. Here's the drill: you buy it, you race championship mode, and probably one or two runs with your friend and that's that. Another thing I griped about was that the championship mode was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. There was no options for changing difficulty, thus I got extremely [frustrated] at the virtaul impossibility of beating it and then I stopped playing it before I beat the whole thing. Last thing I griped about was the loading time of this game. It was horrible! Each track took about 40 seconds to load, and I really got angry at it. If it wasn't for the game's great technological graphic, I would've given this game a minus number of stars (probably -2). It's a great rental, but buying it is a grave mistake since there is no lasting appeal to it. Conclusion: it was supposed to be a great game, but Midway turned it into a rushed product that needed a lot more options and a lot more work.

A lot of DC games are at their best in two player mode...not this one. Hydro Thunder is a game you can play by yourself and have the most fun. In two player mode, the boats move too slow...it gets annoying. But if you intend on playing this by yourself, buy it. It'll entertain you for hours.
The game does get a little bit frustrating at times, but then again the point of video games is to provide a challenge. When you get to the point of throwing the controller, it's best to turn this game off. Once you're frustrated, your playing in this game only gets worse. Keep calm and you'll do fine. Here's a hint...if you want to beat the game, you pretty much HAVE to find all the short cuts and secrets.
Good game, check it out if you're going to play it by yourself a lot.

I played this game at numerous arcades and the action never got old. I found that the racers never act the same twice. The multiplayer function was great. I highly recommend this game.

First I will discuss the good points about the game: Great graphics, great sound, cool looking boats and tracks,and the controls are easy to learn and use.
Bad things: A lot of slowdown(espeshily in two player mode), only 13 tracks and boats,a lot of times your boat will intersect(or go through solid objects,) no different from the arcade except two player.(no added simulation or anything else to do besides just race,and it's too easy(if you didn't hear me correctly, TOO EASY)the only level I actually found hard was Venice Canals. When I beat that, I beat the game!(I've only been playing the game for 5 days.)
Now that you've read my review, you can probably tell that there were more bad than good things about the game. But when I first got this game and played it, if I wrote a review then I would have given it 4 stars.
I think this game is good for a rent, but I'd pass on buying it, unless you really like the game.
