Hydro Thunder Hurricane features 9 different boats divided into three different classes, novice, pro and Expert.

In addition to the eight tracks the game comes with, the Tempest Pack DLC The crazy Viking is just one of many insane encounters in Hydro Thunder: Hurricane A total of 10 Hidden Packages can be found on every track and there are several achievements waiting for those who manage to collect them all. As the name suggests, the packages are often well-hidden and can only be obtained by using special shortcuts, reaching certain speeds and very clever use of the game mechanisms and the environment. The Hidden Packages have the same looks as the Hydro Thunder Hurricane logo. Similar to a lot of other game franchises, player can find Hidden Packages spread across the tracks. There are a total of 8 tracks in Hydro Thunder: Hurricane for you to race on.

The game also has a 'credit' system where each event, online and offline, gives you cumulative credits based on your performance that gives you new watercraft, levels, and challenges for different milestones.Īlong with the standard 12 achievements worth 200 gamerscore, the game also features two avatar awards that are obtained when you earn 800 credits (where you would get a blue design t-shirt with the logo on it) and when you earn 18,500 credits (where you would get a toy prop of the Razorback).

The game supports both local split-screen multiplayer for up to four players as well as an online mode for up to eight players, including a new game mode known as 'Rubber Ducky' where two teams crash into each other to make sure their VIP (the player with the rubber ducky boat of their color) crosses the finish line first. On December 17th 2015 the game was made backwards compatible for the Xbox One platform. The game was later released in on the Windows store for the Windows 8, 10 and RT platforms.

After Midway's bankruptcy, the rights to the Hydro Thunder franchise were purchased by Microsoft.
