The two new boats match up nicely with previous boats offering players to chose something new that may match their style better. Bermuda expands the insane weather of Storming Asgard as player’s race through the open seas and eventually through a whirlpool where all hell breaks loose. The track features a unique design where each lap requires going back and forth through a middle segment causing oncoming boats to meet in the same pathway. Castle Von Boom adds in an interesting cross -traffic mechanic and massive explosions, as players will dodge exploding barrels, cannonballs and other boats. In Atlantis, players race through the sunken city in a three lap race were new pathways become available each lap. The Tempest Pack for Hydro Thunder: Hurricane contains three brand new original maps (Atlantis, Castle Von Boom and Bermuda), two new, original Boats (the super agile Whiplash and the slip-slidery Psyclone), one new skin for every boat in the game, six X-Boats (upgraded to expert versions of current boats) and of course 50 additional Gamerscore.Įach of the new tracks is on par, if not better than the tracks released with the game. Clearly it could, as two months later, the game’s online community is still thriving and Vector Unit has released their first piece of DLC. This wasn’t to say the game suffered from significant flaws, but we questioned if the game could hold attention long enough to match its $15 value for the majority of players. A copy of the DLC was provided to us for review purposes.īack in August, we reviewed Hydro Thunder: Hurricane for XBLA and gave it a Try rating. The Tempest DLC pack retails for 400 Microsoft points. The full game retails for 1200 Microsoft Points.
