The Xbox version received mixed reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version. Check out my interview with the developers here. This is a part of Midways Thunder series, which also included Hydro Thunder. It started off as H2Overdrive on wheels but evolved into something a little different.

UPDATE #3 (6/4/09) – I have done an interview with Steve Ranck of Specular Interactive where we discuss the game along with a ton of new details on what will make this game stand out not only from Hydro Thunder but from other arcade titles as well. He also tells us that “The whole cabinet is a radical departure from the original Hydro…This cabinet is brand new from the ground up.”Īs a side note, we have added H2Overdrive to our Master Release List for 2009. UPDATE #2: I asked Andrew Eloff at Raw Thrills’ about the throttle control on H2Overdrive and he has confirmed that the new game does indeed use the Hydro Throttle like what was used in the original game but it has been “upgraded to be more reliable PLUS with cool new features!”. Now just imagine the game running at 60 fps on a 42″ screen and we have a good idea of what it will look like in person ? Many thanks to them for sending us these pics. UPDATE: We just received the first screenshots of H2Overdrive from Raw Thrills’. We’ll have more on this when ATEI rolls around in a few days! The cabinet to be shown features a 42″ LCD HD screen, pulsing LED lights and the game itself looks “amazing”.
In news that should be music to the ears of Hydro Thunder fans, Raw Thrills’ has brought together the original team that created Hydro Thunder to give us this new game, which will feature many of the things players loved about that game (such as the huge drops and many shortcuts) but add some new aspects to it as well (which they couldn’t say much about at this time).
Raw Thrills’ has revealed to us a brand new racing game that will be shown at ATEI next week that is tentatively called “H2Overdrive” (which is not based upon the PS2 game of the same name).
