“There are way too many bullets. I can’t see anything.” That’s pretty much everyone’s first reaction to a bullet-hell shooter.

“So what racing game should I play next?” If you’ve ever asked yourself that, you’ve probably also stared at the sheer number of options and groaned. “Racing game” covers a ridiculous amount of ground, from pro-grade simulators that model every bit of tire slip to party games where crashing is half the fun.
