I chose this video because it appeared to be the most reminscent of the original.

Boats are fun. Rocket powered boats are even more fun!
If you were living under a rock from the 90's until... Well... Now really, and you've never, EVER set foot in an arcade or picked up an N64 contoller, you might not have heard of one of the most fantastic racing games ever: Hydro Thunder. For all you normies out there, you know that this game is absolutely brilliant. As an avid fan of most arcade games, I needed a change of pants after reading that Midway was FINALLY developing a sequel to this masterpiece, to be called H2Overdrive. Here is a video of the watery fangasm (Ew.) that is soon to result.

I can't say I've been a huge fan of racing games, but that is nice looking. Kinda brings me back to my arcade gaming days, hanging out in Kahunaville. Yes, I know, fuck you. But still, nice looking game, but I've got to wonder, how is it you do a flip in a boat? I'm pretty sure my boat wouldn't do that. Also you guys shouldn't post so much, it's making me look bad.
ReplyDeleteI miss Kahunaville. And sorry for keeping the blog interesting :P
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, I'm kidding. I'll have my next review up soon I hope, but due to the SAT and these stupid things called "friends," I now have to do all of my homework today. I need to find out if that History essay is due tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sick and don't have my laptop, so I don't think I'll post today, and I'll probably be out of school tomorrow. Also because my laptop will be out for 2-4 weeks expect me to keep the games at a level my desktop can play, also nothing I have to pay for. Anyway I'll stick to free lower graphics games till I get my laptop back, maybe post something tomorrow, and see you Tuesay at the latest. Btw, if u like this game check out Wave Racer for the N64.
ReplyDeleteHm, this also sort of reminds me of Pod Racers for the N64, the only good thing to come out of Star Wars episode 1. I think it might even use some of the same sound effects, and pod racers was surprisingly good. Also, GERARDAMO, is there any games you like that don't have a million things going on at once in the background and foreground?
