It's confusing when you first start, because there doesn't seem to be any obvious way of actually starting the game, so be warned that the very first thing you must do is buy a horse or two for your stables. All the tracks are the real US deal - and as you will see later in this review, this could turn out to be quite a bonus for fans of the sport!įor the more substantial horse racing experience, though, gamers will need to take a couple of deep breaths and plunge headlong into the career mode. Tactics do come into play, as they do in the more meaty career game, but much less so: all you really have to worry about is pacing your horse so it doesn't get winded and fade too quickly on the home straight. Here, once you've scanned the listings and chosen your respective steeds, it's instantly off to the races where it's a straightforward sprint to the finish line. Gallop Racer presents you with a very arcade-oriented two-player option that basically enables players to jump right into the action phase of the game. I say hopefully, because before you get the chance to do that, you're going to have to do some serious studying. Once you've considered all the variables (and boy, there are a lot of variables!) you get to take control of your horse and guide him or her around the track and on to victory - hopefully. Rather than wade through page after page of boring statistics only to find that all you can do is sit back and watch your horse at race time, Gallop racer puts you in the actual driving seat.
Gameplay Differing substantially from its main rivals in Japan, Winning Post and Derby Stallion, Gallop Racer successfully combines complex simulation elements with fast-paced arcade action sequences to present a total package for the horse racing fan.
