Currently, the only ways to play this game the way it was *meant* to be played is to 1. Own an Xbox that already has the game downloaded and installed. Or 2. Emulate the game, falling into dubious legality at best. The current PC port of this game is a watered down, sauce less port intended to be compatible with the windows phone. Lower quality textures, models and sounds, and most importantly, NO MULTIPLAYER FUNCTION. I on my own have done my work attempting to bring this game into the modern light it deserves, but even with a very understanding original dev team, the copyright falling into Microsoft's hands essentially means that GOG is the only kind of group that could bring enough light to restore the game to the heights it was originally intended to be. You have an entire community hoping that you take notice, please, just read these messages and make a consideration. Thank you 💜
My father bought this for both he and I as a new game for his PC back in late 2012, upon "upgrading" to Windows 8; it is my most-played game, and I still play and enjoy it frequently. However, this means I must put up with the lacklustre DRM baked into it (strange licensing issues when mine and his MS store accounts mismatch), even just a few days ago I could not launch the game (no error code given), and then after some unspecified amount of time it will resume functionality, so to have a DRM-free version would allow me and others to play without experiencing these game-ruining bugs.
I found this game on Xbox's Gold pass when I was 13. I was in the living room with my uncle, and asked him about it. He said he played it all the time with my dad, and from that moment on, I was obsessed. By the time I turned 14, I had started to speed run the game, and by 15, I had my first record. By that time, I had met the HTH speed running crew, and later became a Speedrun.com mod for the game. This game is important to a lot of people, old or new. I would love to share this game with new players, or return it to old ones for that nostalgia.
this is one of the first games i played on my xbox 360 and i was hooked as a kid the sounds and feel just made me come back day after day to get my score higher whether that was time trials, the gauntlet with all the barrels or just replaying old maps for nostalgia
and speed
I have so many fond memories of this game and honestly there’s just too much to say it’s just that good and I just have too many fond memories it’s beautiful! Words cannot express how I feel about this game. It deserves the best!
I've been a Hydro Thunder fan since the Arcade at malls and Pizza place days. Continued to play on OG Xbox/Dreamcast/Playstation 1 then Hurricane on 360. To this day I still play Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Back in 2010 as I got more and more enthralled with Hurricane I ended up being one of the top Leader board contenders for 10+ years and thus retired from that competition since lets say 2020. I'm no longer #1 on these boards but my presence is still felt around the community to this day as I continue to enjoy this game. I saw this on Discord and I thought I would show some love and support for this great title of Arcade boat racers and My overall childhood fanaticism of it.
From the sounds of this, it would be a great honor to see one of my childhood great games to be represented on GOG.
When the XBOX 360s and Windows Vistas of the world die, what will be left to experience this game? GOG hopefully! Boats in HD, what more could you ask for? Burn water!
I played this game so much on the Xbox 360, about a year ago I dug it up and got back into it, and can say with 100% certainty it is my favorite, and the best racing game I have ever played. Genuinely I love this game, and would hate to see it die. I would love to see more people to know about this game. Vector Unit is still up and running, if enough awareness is raised, nothing would make me happier than for new life to be breathed into this series. This game absolutely deserves the best remaster or sequel, and I would love for it to gain new life on PC, where more people can see it. I have genuinely had dreams about this game getting a sequel. Please bring more attention to this, Hydro Thunder deserves it!
I absolutely love this game, it is a lot of fun singleplayer, but it's even better multiplayer, we 100% need a better PC port of this game, the current PC port is a mobile game with no multiplayer and worse graphics, a more direct port from the Xbox 360 would be amazing.

Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.Action
Forza Motorsport 4Forza Motorsport 4 is a racing video game, and the fourth in the Forza Motorsport series.

Races are conducted on closed circuit tracks. 500 cars are featured in the core game experience, ranging from road cars to race cars.
Players can utilize Kinect to look into a corner using a new head tracking feature. This allows them to look toward the apex of a corner or at nearby cars. The controller or steering wheel is used to control the car while Kinect is used independently for viewing around the driver. Players can also use Kinect as a game controller. In this setting the game automatically accelerates and decelerates the player's vehicle utilizing a modified version of the feature known as Auto Brake in Forza Motorsport 3. The steering is controlled by placing the players arms out as if controlling an invisible steering wheel. Kinect will allow the player to use voice commands to start races and navigate menus.
