Although stunting is limited to a few positionings of the analog sticks, the payoff is an adorably cute animation of jetter and shooter. You’ll find water-activated gates, giant beachballs that produce smaller offspring when shot, and a host of items that produce currency when blasted with your super soaker. And shooting is used than more than just slowing opponents. There’s technique to be found, with environment’s like Ichigaya’s serpentine waterways spurring you into mastering the perfect powerslide. But the slower speed and lack of wakes is poised to frustrate players seeking taut thrills. Given the protected pace of your jets, the simultaneous operation of both jobs is viable. As you’re careening around corners, launching from jump pads, and steering toward power-ups, you’ll also fire a water cannon at your fellow racers.

But the two-girl teams aboard each jet allow players to simultaneously steer and shoot. The fundamentals are all accounted for, allowing competitors to power drift, perform stunts, and boost. Make your way through the game’s fourteen-lesson, interactive tutorial and you’ll discover a sophisticated array of mechanics. Unlike aquatic classics like Wave Race 64 or Hydro Thunder, Kandagawa Jet Girls doesn’t deliver much sense of speed. Just don’t expect to race across Jet Girls’ eight tracks with breakneck rapidity. Courses have integrated memorable landmarks, so you’ll traverse past Asakusa’s giant lantern or spy the Tokyo skytower jutting from the backdrop. Set against perpetually azure skies and everblooming sakura, you’ll race across dramatized tracks on rivers like the Kanda and Sumida. The release of Kandagawa Jet Girls on PlayStation 4 and PC, permits players to visit a near-future Tokyo. With the pandemic devasting public health, many of us can’t enjoy the traditional seasonal pastimes. But for many, that’s not the case this year. Whether you’re into swimming, surfing, paddle boarding, or just hanging out at the beach, water park, or creek, the balmy days of August are often spent around water. Summer is the time for aquatic recreation. Developer: Honey∞Parade Games, SHADE Inc.
