Originally an arcade game by Midway this was out on many other platforms back in the day ranging from the N64 to quite a number of other systems. Here's a list of all the releases:
Arcade (1999)
Dreamcast (September 9, 1999)
Nintendo 64 (2000)
PlayStation (2000)
Windows (April 6, 2001)
Playstation 2, XBox, Gamecube (2005)
In 2010 the game got an Xbox Live Arcade treatment and was renamed Hydro Thunder Hurricane. This is the latest incarnation of the Hydro Thunder games.
Despite me not being the biggest fan of DLC this game looked so amazing I couldn't let this pass by so I did download it onto my 360 and started playing with it a little. The online reviews aren't so keen on the game though as the graphics are often picked on
The gameplay is very similar to the older ports with a distinction that with boost you're able to jump in mid-air without the presence of a ramp. In the older versions jumping was only possible from ramps and the like.
Go check it out. I play the N64, Dreamcast and the Hurricane 360 edition.
