Each level is completely different from each other and has their own distinct feel.
HYDRO THUNDER XBOX UPGRADE
So what?s new other than the obvious massive upgrade in graphics? For starters, there are eight new stages that the environments have a theme park kind of feel. This sequel is bigger and recreates the essence of true Hydro Thunder in its fast paced glory. No simple graphic updates here, everything is getting a makeover while keeping the spirit of the original true. To my surprise, Hurricane is an actual full featured sequel to the arcade hit. When Hydro Thunder Hurricane for Xbox Live Arcade was announced, I honestly wasn?t all too excited because I was expecting a remake like the majority of other XBLA titles that are redone. If you?ve not had the pleasure, Hydro Thunder is a boat racing game that pits you against 15 other opponents in races and also prides itself on many secret shortcuts, huge jumps, and massive boosts of turbo. I know I?ve probably spent way too many quarters on it back in the day among many others. Hydro Thunder came out just over a decade ago in the arcades and was a huge hit. Hyyyyyydrroooooo Thunnnnddderrrrrrrrrrrrr! Those who?ve played the original back in the arcade or on the consoles know exactly what those words mean.
