Pass/Fail:

Lead

"and the third game released under the Namco Generations series of video game remakes." - think the first mention of "game" can be deleted from this sentence
"The game was announced in October 2010 and was announced as being cancelled in December 2012 following a lack of updates on its production." - try to change this sentence to avoid repeating the word "announced"
Wikilink power-ups and level to the relevant article to help non-experts

Gameplay

Wiklink timer to Time limit (video games), level to Level (video games), power-ups to power-up and stage to Stage (video games) to help non-Gamers
Link slipstream to Drafting (aerodynamics)
"Running behind other runners creates" - try to change the structure of the sentence to avoid repetition of a similar word

Development and promotion

"Aero-Cross was intended as the third game under the Namco Generations label, a brand created by Namco Bandai Games for use on modernized remakes of their older video games." - older titles.

Cancellation

"Fletcher commented on the game's new features and for building upon the original Metro-Cross gameplay in an interesting manner. He commented:" - the text in bold isn't needed
"believed that the game likely never would have had" - would likely never have
"that big of an audience" - large

References

The author of Reference 13 should be formatted as Fletcher, JC for consistency
References 14 shouldn't include staff as the author
