Cant this thing go any faster?

by dale99 , Mar 25 '00
Pros: Nice GFX, smooth framerate.
Cons: No sense of speed.
Midway brings their action packed arcade boat racer Hydro Thunder to Nintendo's black box to a mixed response from gameplayers.
The major flaw with Hydro Thunder is that it is just too damn slow, there is no sense of speed in the least... infact im...

WOw! OhNo!!

by Nightowl7 , Mar 18 '00
Pros: Graphics
Cons: Game modes
Hydro thunder is a fast paced racing game on futuristic boats on futuristic levels. However midway screwed up the game by making almost impossible to win without getting most boosts. There are very little game modes and only 11 boats. However im...

Fun....For a while

by trgross , Mar 17 '00
Pros: Easy to learn and play the initial levels
Cons: Advancement requires dedication - and cheating
Hydro Thunder, the latest adaptation of one of the best games at the arcade, is one of the most action packed racing games on the market. I was sucked into renting it through the heavy advertising currently going on.

As an avowed lover of...

Awsome but....

by bunny3 , May 15 '00
Pros: decent graphics, big jumps, cool cars, and blue cartrige!
Cons: poor 3 player and 4player, difficult to beat levels.
I just recently purchased Hydro Thunder with great expectations. I had played the game in the arcade and loved it. The jumps are awsome and the cars fit well with the game. When I first popped the game into the console I noticed that you needed an...

A decent port of a fast arcade game.

by Shaunpm60 , Jun 27 '01
Pros: Great graphics with no pop-up and huge environments. Steady framerate.
Cons: Music is almost obsolete and handling is a bit iffy.
I was a bit skeptical of Hydro Thunder. I played it once in the arcade, and I had a hard time getting used to the controls. But then again, it looked pretty cool.

Hydro Thunder may not be exactally like WaveRace (more like far from it), but...

Pros: Competitive and Fun

Great game- fun forever

by OAK0034 , Jun 02 '00
Pros: Action-Packed and Exciting
Cons: Does not save without a memory card!
I recently received Hydro Thunder for my birthday. Every since I've got it, I can't stop playing it. It is great. The only bad thing about this great game is occasional freezes. This is action-packed and very original. It is very user-friendly. It...

Why couldn't the arcade be more like this?

by Goryman , Apr 04 '00
Pros: graphics, gameplay, multiplayer, and boats
Cons: need a save pack
Hydro Thunder as been gobbling up quarters in the arcade for too long. Time for it too gobble power in everyone's N64.

And that is exactly what it does. For the Nintendo 64, this is the first boat racing game since Waverace, and it leaves...

Boats without a sense of speed

by Merlin6446 , Mar 25 '00
Pros: Great graphics, awesome shortcuts and fun levels.
Cons: No sense of speed & the multi-player mode is horrible.
This game is one of the best racing games produced by Nintendo. This game would get a 10, BUT there is no sense of speed and there are very few tracks and boats. This game is easily mastered yet it is hard at some points. I do like the creative bonus...

Hydro Thunder

by Terran82 , Mar 21 '00
Pros: great graphics, fast paced arcade action, supports 4 players
Cons: frame rate slow downs in when you are playing with 4 players, not as fast as the arcade, graphics aren't arcade perfect
Hydro Thunder is the best arcade boat racer there is. Now it is coming to your N64. If you played the arcade game you know what this game is all about. It is all about the high-speed action, graphical beauty, and pure fun.

Hydro Thunder, as good as arcade?

by chriskooima , Jun 03 '00
Pros: Great arcade preservation
Cons: Graphics could have used tweaking before the game was released
This game meets the standards. It has all the familiar tracks- Thunder Park, Lost Island, and all the rest are back. The same goes for the speed-happy boats like Razorback, Tidal Blade, and Thresher. Even The bonus tracks and boats. Plus, multi-player...
