Great sense of speed, but no challenge
Episode 1 racer is an excellent futuristic racer that's fun while it lasts, but doesn't hold much replay value. The sense of speed is great, as is the boost mechanic that constantly requires you to balance speed with overheating engines and to play chicken with tight turns. The AI is pretty terrible, and you would often need to crash several times for it to pose any challenge. Races allow you to upgrade your pod with winnings, and how much you earn is based on how you set the prize pool (you can choose winner takes all and gamble that you will win, but come out with no winnings if anyone beats you). It is only possible to earn winnings the first time you complete a track in the top four, which means if you do lose a race it may be possible to lock yourself out of upgrades for that playthrough. There are plenty of unlockable racers, thought the entire game can be beat in 3-6 hours depending on your level. Debug options available on consoles are locked to button presses that you likely won't have on PC (mapped to N64 buttons). A fan-made executable to up the AI speed and difficulty for the GOG version as was possible in the debug mode on N64 is available here, and significantly improves the experience: https://github.com/Tehelee/SWEP1RCR_CM
