God knows how I finished this on 360 with all those frame drops back in 2016 but I'm replaying it through emulation now and yeah, this rocks.

played golf and a dressup challenge game with irl friends over discord, taking none of it seriously, and i gotta say it. this game is great when played like this. just some real dumb fun

really hard. what the heck

What if the cars films were games and good. Also opening movie is one of the best I've ever seen, would not have gotten as far into the game as I did if that wasn't the first thing i was shown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoEpAVAGU2s

edit: changed my mind on the cars movies, the first one is vibes city

Very addictive but also gets exponentially harder as it goes on. Some of the status effects the later enemies have are totally brutal, like the red orb that rusts your weapon after 2 hits or the shark that steals your food points. I had fun though.

I've had this game's cartridge blu-tacked to the outer side of my bedroom door for nearly seven years. I only remember this every 18 months or so, when a new visitor to my house decides it's worth noting out loud. I wonder how many of my interpersonal relationships this has impacted without my realisation, with this being one of their first impressions of me. Perhaps my life would be on a completely different path if I hadn't stuck it to my door on a whim so long ago. I suppose I will never know.

I hate comparing games this way but it's sort of like Boku no Natsuyasumi with photographic (or filmed ig) backgrounds and a fewer things to do. That doesn't mean it's lesser though, there's really not much else out there like this and I really liked that it was real locations. Good practice for those learning conversational Japanese too, everythings in kana or very common kanji.
If for whatever reason I ever end up anywhere near the area, I'd love to visit the town this was set in.

so cute, more people need to play this
