One of the best racing games I've ever played

I have not played it on the Dreamcast unit , but I have played it in the arcade. This game is the ONLY reason I would possibly spend dollars on a new dreamcast. It is fun and fastpaced, I enjoyed it alot.

Hydro Thunder is mindless arcade fun

this is a great title indeed, from awsome graphics to Mindless gameplay. But be warned... it gets old quick. At first, Hydro Thunder is very fun, but after you play it for about a week, it gets old, its time to move on. hydro thunder is best suited as a rental than a buy. if your looking for mindless arcade racing with great graphics and cheap gameplay then look no further. otherwise, rent it, play it, be done with it and save your money for a better game like soul calibur or sonic adventure.

Great racer!

This is the best racer I've played in a long time. I have Tokyo Extreme and Flag to Flag and Hydro Thunder is the hands down winner in the racing genre. Great graphics, and fun, addictive gameplay. I've picked up many games since Hyrdro Thunder but it's still the game getting the most of my playing time. Only knock against it is the menu screens which are pretty bland and boring.

Fantastic! As good as the arcade (almost).

I loved the arcade version, and the Dreamcast game is just as good (almost). The only downside is the sound, which is not quite as "in your face." Also, when playing 2 players, the split screen takes away some of your view (but hey, what do you expect from a home version?). This game is lots of fun with great replay value. Graphics and control are phenomenal. If you like to race, this is the best.

Boring, Boring, Boring

No options, no weapons, no fun. Go play mario kart but skip on this one

Horrible Horrible Game

The graphics on this game are the worst. It looks like they threw it together at the last minute. Really bad. I can not stress it enough. Really bad.

Love the arcade...

I love the arcade version! But this game does not cut it. The sound is terrible. Don't get me wrong I like the game but I would much rather play something like.... Pong! The graphics are ok but the gameplay seems too slow to be flying over the water. The game is nothing special!

Very cool! Anyone can play yet it is very challenging. Graphics are great and you have lots of boats and courses to choose from. It keeps your interest for a long time. A must buy!

VERY FUN! - for a while

This game was way phat,but then it started to get boring. Here is the scoop:1-2 players, VMU compatible, jump pack compatible. 17 boats including bonus which are the best and 18 tracks including the bonus which are also the best. Overall I would probably suggest this.

Beginners will love this game

My son (aged 7) and I are NOT seasoned gamers who have racked up hundreds of hours in the arcade -- we are new to video games, and just wanted a game we could have fun with right away, and this game is it! The beginning levels are easy to start playing, yet fun. The graphics ARE great, and the variety of courses is fascinating. There seems to be sufficient increased difficulty in the more advanced courses to keep us interested as we get better.

This is a great game!
