    Habe mir das spiel im Sale für knapp 40 euro geholt und finde es selbts für den Preis zu teuer das spiel wird sehr schnell Langweillig da die Ki im Story mode ziehmlich schlecht sind und man den einfach so davon Fährt und die Steuerrung ist auch extrem Schwammig ist nen typisches Marvelous spiel alla senran kagura nur andere Anime Serie und auf Jet ski ansonsten nix neues

    It's a pretty average racing game, but seriously, what is it with these games that have 4 reviews that are considered the best of all time on the list? It literally says it has a perfect 10. That is the first time that has happened in metacritic history, as far as I'm concerned. Mario Kart instead.

    Knowing that this game was launched as a sub product of the anime with the same name I did not have great expectations and I was therefore not disappointed (also I bought it in Sale).
    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).    … Expand

    Much of Kandagawa Jet Girls is done incredibly well. The gameplay is varied and interesting, allowing the player to explore how to best approach races and competition, while also offering fun and upbeat music and visuals along the way. It's all strung together by a well-defined aesthetic, from the menus to the loading screens and the UI. What cannot be forgotten — and what takes away the most from this game — is the obsession with these teen girls' bodies in the design. It's cheap and gross, and it completely detracts from the experience. While the races sometimes become bland with ease, the most glaring point that I took away from the experience is how girls' bodies are depicted and designed in media. When it comes down to it, you can make a game that knocks it out of the park in every way, but if you can't show your teen characters without highlighting their massive cleavage or design them without massive breasts in the first place, then frankly, it's not a respectable product that should be taken seriously, and therefore it isn't good.

    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.

    Kandagawa Jet Girls is a good jetski racing game. We’re not really the target audience for the overtly sexualised schoolgirls though, but if you are you’re well catered for. Add 10% if it rings your bell. Anyone else, hit start and get straight to racing.
