    Kandagawa Jet Girls is a joke in the same way that Senran Kagura and The Bad Touch song that I quoted at the top is: it relishes in being brazen to the point that it knows it's going to draw some eye rolls. It also knows that many of its fans will enjoy both the brazenness and the eye rolls from the puritans - it's edgy like that. But, really, it's great. It's an excellent blend of "kart" racer and jetski playground, and it is built with a level of precision and eye for detail that I think will surprise and impress many. In other words, it is yet another hit of the kind of breezily entertaining experience that, like so much of Takaki Kenichiro's work, deserves more respect than it's going to get.

    Despite how anxious I am for the devs to continue the mainline Senran Kagura story, I can’t deny that they’ve put out an exceptional title here. The racing is thrilling, the characters are wonderful, and the story has charm to spare.

    It delivers what you would expect: a funny and easy jet sky racing game with some shooting mechanics, charismatic and archetypical Waifus with impossible bodies and awesome Japanese voice acting (Lynn!)
    The usage of the unity engine is superb on the Waifus, they look way better than on the Senran Kagura series and the circuits are full of vivid colours.
    On the negative side there are some V-sync issues, low res textures and the velocity sensation could be better.
    The number of circuits and their variations are sufficient, also the different story arcs are ok although I missed more anime fragments (only the intro).
    I see 2 main issues with this game, the first is small: the fanservice level is quite disappointing in comparison with the Senran Kagura franchise and the anime itself. Replacing the clothing destruction system with energy shields makes no sense lore wise and feels really strange. No idea if this has something to do with the shameful Sony's censorship.
    The second one is more serious as it affects the gameplay, the difficulty level is too low making the shooting mechanics almost useless as you will almost not see your rivals during the 95% of the races. On a brawler like a Senran overall difficulty it's not so important as you can still use all your movements/combos/specials but on a race it's really different
    I strongly recommend to not upgrade your jet ski at all until you reach a peak of difficulty in which you can not progress anymore and only then spend your credits on improvements. otherwise you're only going to see your opponents on the cutscenes.
    I nevertheless recommend this game, it's very enjoyable has really funny moments and it's quite relaxing (also has a very easy plat).    … Full Review »

    as for DLC there are 4 pairs of girls from the Senran kagura series as guest characters for $10 each or $30 as a bundle. as much of a fan i am of the series i just don't think the price is justified for the quality and content of the game .    … Full Review »
