Coming straight from the '90, Hurricane successfully replicates the gameplay of the first episode, coming up with an arcade game that is not really common nowadays. Not for everyone, but if you are missing the old good coin-op days, this could be a nice choice.

It's not nearly as robust at what you'd expect from a current-gen racing title, but, at 15 dollars, Hydro Thunder Hurricane's blast of late-arcade-era nostalgia is a perfect match for Xbox Live Arcade.
The two multiplayer modes - a straight race between eight players online, and Rubber Ducky, in which two teams try to nose their rubber duck past a threshold before their opponents - provide a good balance of competition and playfulness.

God this game takes me back to being 7 or so again. Top 5 best games ever for me, the amount of hours I’ve dumped into this game and not regretted a second is astounding. Zero criticisms from me

Everything I loved about Hydro Thunder has returned with Hurricane and more. The fun and addicting gameplay, the huge selection of boats and courses, and the speed all make for a great day of racing. Throw in some new single player and multiplayer modes, Hydro Thunder Hurricane will keep you racing until your fingers fall off.

Waves crashing and dinosaurs jumping out of the water are just two of the many things this water racers has going for it. The controls are brilliant, and the only thing keeping it back is a lack in variation.

1200 Microsoft Points might be seen as a lot by some people, but there's really a lot of content here, all wrapped up in some of the slickest presentation seen in an arcade-style XBLA release.

It's hardly one of the best games on the Xbox Live Arcade, but it might be one of the strongest in terms of providing an actual "arcade" experience without the need for quarters.

If you're looking for a fun arcade-style racer that you don't have to plop a disc into your machine to play, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is definitely a more than worthy candidate.

Ponderous and lightweight racing atop near-vaporous water. Go and have a bath instead. [Oct 2010, p.121]

perfect gameplay. it is smooth, it is different and it is wild! this game is extremely fast pace and intense. it may be frustrating at first but it is a masterpiece once mastered. I recommend this to everyone as it is incredibly affordable and holds hours of gameplay inside.

Petit jeu de course d'arcade avec des bateaux "vavavoum" qui font très vite sur l'eau et le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que ça déménage... Spectaculaire et animé mais aussi un peu bordélique parfois surtout évidemment avec les "boosts" qu'on récupère et qui accélèrent encore plus l'action... Le maniement est sans souci et la physique aquatique est tout-à-fait convaincante. Si les graphismes n'ont rien d'extraordinaire (il s'agit d'un indé avec pas beaucoup d'argent, ne l'oublions pas) ils font néanmoins largement l'affaire, tout comme les effets et l'ambiance sonores. Mais, car il y a un mais et même plusieurs, le système de progression choisi est très rigide et contraignant et nous oblige à suivre le chemin des épreuves tracé par le développeur, ce qui inclut obligatoirement les deux modes bien pourraves et irritants comme le contre-la-montre avec des anneaux ou celui avec des barils explosifs (yop la boum, quand votre bateau fait boum...). Du coup, on passe à côté de nombreux circuits qui restent bloqués comme des cons tant qu'on a a pas limé ce qu'on t'a dit de limer parce que c'est comme ça et pas autrement. C'est vraiment très con comme système. Et je dirais même plus comme dirait Dupont : c'est très con. Parce que si les courses sont bien, les CLM sont à chier ! c'est vraiment ballot.
