Gameplay
If you have played a racing game in the past, the learning curve for this game will be quite easy. Kandagawa Jet Girls does a great job at making the controls playable for all. Having the option of switching the controls between team members was a great way keep players highly entertained as well.
My Personal Experience
Kandagawa Jet Girls is a simple, yet solid racing game. Offering a high amount of customization, the graphics is paired perfectly to display enjoyable visuals. The overall game mechanics was smooth and easy as well. Although the controls were able to be picked up quickly, the races itself was quite a challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed the vast number of upgrades after completion of races and obstacles.
Although the plot was not my cup of tea, I was still very entertained throughout my playthrough. When searching for games of this variety, I yearn for the actual racing mechanics itself. If I have had watched the show prior, I would believe Kandagawa Jet Girls does an excellent job telling a story. My personal attachment to this title is low but fans of this series will be very into the racer title.
The Final Verdict
This waveracer is action packed and highly engaging. The graphics are outstanding, and I found myself very impressed after completing the game. Fanservice is through the roof and I applaud the developers for providing fans this game. Even if you are not a fan of the anime, if you are looking for a mindless racer, this game could still be up your alley.
Final Score: 7/10
