*Hydro Thunder Hurricane* is an arcade-style racer where you pit yourself
against a sea of boats in constantly changing environments. While there
aren't many games out for Windows 8 yet, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a good
preview of what to expect from Windows 8 gaming. By default, Hydro Thunder
Hurricane is set to use *touch and motion controls*. There are virtual
buttons for turning, acceleration, braking, and turbo boosting. You can
choose between using *touch*, *game pad*, or *keyboard* in the settings. It's
good to have all those options. Being a Microsoft Studios product you can
expect *Xbox LIVE integration* where you can view leaderboards and play with
your friends. Unfortunately, this early preview version *doesn't have any
mutliplayer modes*. Hydro Thunder Hurricane only has a single player mode and
only offers two tracks and two boats. Graphics and gameplay for Hydro Thunder
Hurricane are very good. It looks impressive with splash graphics and motion
blur during turbo boosts. Game play is very fun, with *dynamic environments*
that constantly change. There are even police boats to chase you and your
opponents. There are plenty of items to pick up and unlockables in Hydro
Thunder Hurricane to keep game play interesting. *Overall, Hydro Thunder
Hurricane is an impressive look at what gaming will look like on Windows 8.
Graphics, gameplay, and an emphasis on touch controls will all be hallmarks
of Metro gaming.*Download *Hydro Thunder Hurricane Metro App 1.0* in Softonic
