Gameplay

NGEN Racing is a game in which players compete in races and use the winnings to upgrade their planes.[2]

Reception

Doug Trueman reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Not bad, but not what it could have been. And forget about seeing other planes while you're airborne."[2]

GameSpot said that "While by no means a perfect product, NGEN does a good job of establishing an aspect of the racing genre that will obviously see many reinterpretations."[3]

IGN said that "The NGEN mode looks like it packs a nice degree of depth, allowing you to win money and modify your hangar of planes. Combine that with the game's neat 3D racing action, as well as the relaxing techno soundtrack, and you have an original game that we should have some fun with in the next few weeks.[4]

Reviews
gollark: Yes.
gollark: In JS you used to have to explicitly handle callbacks for all that stuff, and then used to have to have a lot of `.then` calls on promises, but now we have `async`/`await` so it looks basically like regular code.
gollark: One sort of nice but also sort of problematic thing about Go is that it uses green threads so operations like writing files look synchronous and you can write code accordingly, but are done asynchronously.
gollark: Strictly speaking it has generics, but hardcoded ones on arrays/channels/maps.
gollark: So you need `if err != nil { return err }` everywhere because it has no exceptions or stuff like `Option`.
