Two players of equal skill level can create some insane moments, but it’s easy to pick up and play for anyone. It manages to avoid the feelings of repetitiveness and grind that some arcade racers can deliver, all helped along nicely by the fact that Hurricane also supports local multiplayer which is an absolute blast and can become really hectic and intense quickly. It takes some time and dedication to unlock everything in Hydro Thunder Hurricane but it never feels like a slog. Both modes seem similar but really offer a distinct challenge, testing your reflexes and knowledge of the tracks. Ring Master also involves finishing the track in the best time, but you can only gain boost by going through marked rings missing one slows you down to a halt. Gauntlet involves getting through the tracks as fast as possible – there’s a twist however, as the entire track is now covered in bombs that will destroy the boat, leading to a massive time reduction. It’s not just about racing though there are two other major game modes, Gauntlet and Ring Master. It is helped by the fact that there are several different boats to unlock and each one feels unique, particularly the final few. The AI is smart and challenging on higher difficulties too, forcing you to memorize shortcuts and track layouts in order to cut the perfect line through.
It helps that the moment-to-moment gameplay is so fantastic as well curving through the water at high speeds feels tight and responsive, and it’s thrilling to make split-second turns and dodges in the waves. They are a great reward and motivation to keep playing. These are really the main events and they do not disappoint as you slowly unlock them, collecting points from completing events, excited at what the next track would bring.
