Anyone else getting the new Hydro Thunder game on XBLA this week?

Interested, but on the fence. I've heard mixed reviews so far. Let us know how it is.
 
I got it last night. I think it's really fun. It plays just as I remember it on the Dreamcast/arcade, but this version has enough new stuff to make it worth $15 for any fan of the original. The only bad review I saw was from IGN, but that reviewer is a clown--his top argument was that he didn't know where to go. I had only one or two times where I couldn't discern the track layout.

You can play online multiplayer in the demo (for 10 minutes of game time)--how can you go wrong there? I played three races and knew it was a worthwhile game for me. There's a lot of people online, but that probably won't last more than a month or two. I'll stick with it, so if anyone picks it up, I'd be up for a race, even if the rest of the world has moved on to the next big game. Send an invite to LukenAtMe.
