Let"s see what our App Army had to lớn say...

Just from looking at the game"s ibé I can immediately tell that this is a racing game. I mean, you can sort of see a headlight there on the left along with a bit of a race trachồng in the background.

The thing that really gave sầu it away though was the little flash of "chequered flag" above sầu the drift girl"s skirt. Someone should really tell her that outfit is not regulation. She should be wearing full body flame retardant coveralls & a helmet!

Too sexist. Just put a half naked lady as an icon & money starts raining? I"m not gonmãng cầu take part in this one.

Okay... how do I start the game? All I have sầu is a scrollable các mục of young ladies in different outfits and a slider on the right that changes the view lớn a scrollable danh sách of cars.

Oh, so there are also two speed dials in the middle slowly increasing in percentage. It"s downloading data. Would be nice if the game made that clear!

I"ve sầu been playing this game for a while and it"s more simple than I thought it would be. Yes, you can throw around sexist remarks, but if you give it a chance you might just enjoy it for what it is - a simple drift-based racing game.

It"s kind of hard to lớn know where lớn start with this game. I played a few races, picked up a girl, then played another few races listening to a drift girl get rather excited at every corner.

This game feels wrong on so many levels, but it"s weirdly enjoyable. The highlight so far was having to lớn pichồng which girl khổng lồ invite along as a passenger.

They each had stats... including bra size! Why? Who knows.

Here is a little taster of the depths this game sinks khổng lồ. After a long day racing it"s great khổng lồ take a young lady out on a date but she won"t go unless I buy her a present!

Yup. Race, win, date, shop... then race some more. Just like my real life to be honest.

I"ll be honest - if the devs ditched the whole dating slặng aspect of this và left the game as a drift racer with unlockable tracks & locations it could be great.

I think you"re right there. Would you really play it as much though? We"re calling it a racing game but it"s not really a racer at all.

Yeah, it"s more of a tap-when-the-rear-wheels-are-on-the-line-er.

Exactly. So the real question is... would that hold your interest for a long while?

Not long term, definitely not. But as a little 5-10 minute time waster now và then? Yeah, I could go with that.

If I enjoy this game does it make me a sexist?

No?

I feel dirty all the same. The drifting gameplay mechanic is actually quite fun, but I"ve not really explored the "dating" aspect yet.

As far as I underst& it, the whole dating sim aspect of games is a lot more "normal" in Japan & South Korea. I think this might be a little too full-on for western markets.

Drift Girls is crashing fairly frequently on my ipad tablet. I don"t understvà why it took all of ten minutes for the game to download either.

The sex appeal aspect seems a bit too much for my liking from what I could play of it though.

Hey Danny, is this what you"d Hotline a social JRPG? It seems lượt thích there"s actually a fair bit of depth to Drift Girls despite its shallow appearance. Can you recommkết thúc any games like this that are a bit less... er... sexual?

A lot of the Natsume catalogue covers what you"re after. Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Hometown Story, và Avalon Code all have social goals you can achieve sầu with characters.

Our Peter"s likened some of the elements here khổng lồ Hakuoki, but that"s a reverse-harem otome game (intended for the ladies).

Thanks - I"ll have sầu khổng lồ check those out!

My girlfriend sees Drift Girls as stupid & overly sexualised.

To me, Drift Girls feels lượt thích the lovechild of Guitar Hero & Need for Speed. Then that lovechild became a teenager và said "I need something... more," deciding khổng lồ go on dates with many, many ladies.

That"s this game. You "race" cars, impress girls, go on dates... và have sầu fun doing those things. The controls are easy and intuitive lớn boot. It"s addictive sầu and you can thua kém hours playing it.

It just makes me feel icky when I play it. Especially the noises the girls make when they ride in the car with you. Those noises don"t seem to fit with what"s going on in the game. Drift Girls is a weird game.

I am not a very big bạn of this mainly because I am not a big người of the racing genre (my only exception being the Asphalt series).

I feel that the dating aspect of this game takes away from the main aspect which is the racing itself.

The controls are decent, and the graphics look lượt thích any other racing game, although I have experienced some frame rate issues.

It"s a generic racing game with a dating element. Drift Girls is not for me.

This is not a game anyone with an ounce of self respect would play.

"But it"s just harmless fun" you might say. I don"t think so. Besides, all the dating element only takes away from the main aspect of the game, the racing.

If we look past that, the gameplay isn"t even that fun. It"s distinctly average.

It feels lượt thích the developer is only throwing in sexual elements to lớn get an audience, which this game would"nt have had otherwise, because it"s simply not good enough.

For the 10 minutes I could bear lớn play this game before having khổng lồ stop out of disgust, I found the gameplay largely repetitive và dull.

The gameplay is massively overshadowed by a series of scantily clad female characters practically throwing themselves at the player.

The clothing choices and the dialogue given to lớn these women give the impression of a developer that is feverishly trying to lớn turn their monotonous game inkhổng lồ the next App Store hit through objectification of women.

If you"re looking for a racing game, Asphalt 8 is much better, và if you just want lớn ogle cartoon breasts... get yourself some self respect.

The title says it all. This game is about girls và drifting, both of which I kindomain authority like. However... this game isn"t really my thing.

The racing gameplay is just about tapping at the right moment, so it"s not partiularly challenging. The girls are just about wearing clothes, if you think a nội y is enough khổng lồ call proper clothing.

The game feels quite sexist, from the sounds the women make after you win a race to lớn the offensively airheaded things they say.

When I first heard about Drift Racers I thought it would be pretty enjoyable, but it really hasn"t lived up to my expectations.

I agree with Newmanator. It feels a bit lượt thích Guitar Hero in the race sections... but I vì chưng feel really icky playing it!

It seems as if the devs are specifically targeting a male audience with Drift Girls. Why can"t we choose our gender at the start và choose take hot men on "dates" too?

Also, the women are all the exact same toàn thân type, only with different outfits or hair colour. Where"s the variation? I"m kindomain authority hating the ample bosoms on every mã sản phẩm too!

I really tried to give this game the benefit of the doubt. I wasn"t going lớn be swayed by what I"ve sầu read or the well-endowed ladies plastered across every screenshot.

Pros:

The game looks fantasticThe actual racing is pretty good if you"re into the whole drifting aspect since you don"t really control that car at allThe music is banging and even the voices sound pretty good

Cons:

The ridiculous loading times you have khổng lồ giảm giá khuyến mãi with every time you start the gameRequiring an Internet connection lớn play the game is a bummerThe dialogue is atrocious! The stuff the girls say at times set women back decades

Your over goal is lớn become the best driver, earning money so you can score with the hot girls, & that"s really all there is to it

There"s no way around it, Drift Girls is targets young males, and in doing so it alienates not only young girls & women, but all who love sầu racing games thanks khổng lồ its blatant sexism.
