The sport of the future is here: jet racing! The brightest, most daring young athletes in Japan take to the waterways of Tokyo on high-tech jet machines. Each jetter, or driver, pairs up with a shooter, who blasts the opposition with various types of water guns. The fans are wild, the races are wilder, and the water's great! But there's more at stake than a Trophy or two. Each racer has her own dreams, her own driving force pushing her onward. Some race for glory, some out of obligation, some to show their faith in a higher power, and some for nothing more than the thrill of it all. And each One, together with both her partner and her competitors, has a heartfelt story to tell. Experience tales of friendship, hardship, family, and love, all infused with a rush of adrenaline in a whole new kind of racing. The kandagawa river is ready for your challenge! From the creators of SENRAN KAGURA, experience a new kind of racing game that blends tight cornering and aerial stunts with rapid-fire shootouts, all with a shimmering, cheerful aesthetic. Choose from one of seven different two-girl teams, customize your jet machine, and race for the prize while grabbing extra weapons and items on the go.

A mash up of different games
As I played the tutorial and learning the mechanics, different games popped in mind, most prominent being Mario Cart. However, I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s close to good as that. There are several mechanics that from many different games that made it much more different. The primary gripe I have is with the shooting mechanic part. Using your weapon efficiently, accurately and quickly is where it becomes cumbersome/difficult as you have to choose between “front and back” and “auto and manual” with combination button presses. Unless I understood wrong, choosing auto and front allows your partner to shoot on your behalf, but the line of sight is dependent on your steering. Manual front is you are manually shooting at your opponent but your partner drives and you actually aim. I’m actually not sure how to fire in this mode. Didn’t understand their explanation. Auto rear, you aim while your partner drives, but gun fires on its own when reticle is on something, and manual rear is when you aim and fire on your own (and your partner is driving). Oh and when shooting to the rear, left and right sides are something you need to take into account. Makes sense as we cannot rotate our spines 360° but adds another level of complexity to something already made complicated. Mind you this is, again, something you would perform as you are racing. It’s hard enough as an FPS nub to shoot at something stationary, but you and your target will be moving at potentially high speeds. Oh and everyone has a shield level, like halo/fortnite, so just hitting someone once isn’t enough to make them spin out/slow down like Mario cart. You have to do it enough times and the Tutorial CPUs were at least x3-5 times better at it than I was. Basically, in a controlled environment, I spun them out once for every 3-5 times they did it to me. The only other big gripe I got on the game play is the stunt/trick system. It seems very formulaic as far as the conditions to perform a trick off a ramp. If you go on the narrow ramp greater than X angle, you can’t perform a trick. If your speed isn’t at least X going up the ramp, you can’t perform a trick. If you don’t enter a trick (using analog sticks) within .X seconds of flying off the ramp, you won’t do a trick. If your analog stick(s) isn’t at specific spots within X margin of error when going off ramp, you won’t perform your intended trick. This removes the possibility for a wipe out, but lessens the opportunity to do anything special with how seemingly tight the margins are. There were several occasions where I tried doing something then failed...and then my only choices were between diving into the water or landing nicely on the water (they have their bonuses but nothing as fantastic) or I end up performing a different trick than intended because it took the first input .1 second off the ramp because my controller drifts. Both sticks are needed simultaneously and not every combination of analog directions have an associated trick. If you played the snowboard kids games (on the N64), it’s like a much worse and more complex trick system than that. Luckily it doesn’t seem to do the rubber banding thing (where computer racers get faster when they fall behind, go slower when way ahead) so this game will require more skill to do well. Not sure how much skill the game will require you to attain to complete but for the first story race, without shooting, I got 1st place with a +30 second lead. Seems to be a light hearted racing game that wanted to have more depth than it needed.

Amazing fun game!!!
Great and fun game!!! Also has an anime series, if you ever want to check it out. But overall, fun game to play and customize the characters. It’s basically like Mario Kart, but in anime form and your racing with all female characters. And of course, on Jet Streams.

My heart isn’t racing
I’m not familiar with the anime, I bought this because I like jet ski games. As a racing game this one falls short. There’s no real sense of speed, and the water guns are more of a distraction. The controls are also very awkward. On the plus side the characters are cute and fun. The graphics are okay, more PS3 quality. The collectors set is nice, and could be a collectors item in the future. There is some enjoyment to be had with this game though. I just wish they would have spent more time on the racing side of the game.
