Fun:
Played On Windows Vista64.
As far as Horse Racing management games go on the PC, HRM 2 is pretty good, and probabaley the best one out there that i have played to date. Although there are 3 modes of play, i preferd the Horse Owner approach, managing my own stable, buying new buildings to improve my horses stats, hiring and firing staff, choosing the horses care & deciding which races to enter that suit the horses strengths.
On the management side, you get to pick the location of your stables from places like England, Ireland, USA or France for example. Then you get to pick a specific location(money permitted)within the country, where the stable will be, from 10 different places, all with advanatges/disadvanatges/neutral and varied costs. After that, you get to pick your jockys colours, and name your stable. Then its off into the World of Horse Racing management.
The games graphics are very nice, especially the 3-D races, if you decide to watch them that is, you can skip them. The audio also suits the game well i think. Overall, if you like the more serious approach to your Horse racing management games, this will suit you well, i like it allot.

Fun:
This game runs fine if you just want to sit and simulate every race without taking part yourself or actually watching the horses. It will run fine but the moment you try and join in a race as a jockey or try and watch a race as a spectator it crashes straight back to your desktop. I have tryed contacting cyanide and micro applications with no reply. All the forums on the HRM2 website have been locked and closed down with no help available. Dont buy it a complete waste of money.
EDIT - SOLUTION
Hi everyone,
From my review above you can see i was also having problems with the game crashing back to the desktop however i have now got it working, i will list what i did just in case it might help someone else,
First off i opened the game up in compatibility mode for xp service pack 2 (my computor is running vista)
I then opened the options and put all graphics down to the lowest including the shaders before opening the game. After doing this i can now go to races etc and i have played it succesfully without any crashes, hope this helps someone else!

Fun:
This is the best horse racing pc game i have ever played. it's very addictive. It gives you real life problems in the game e.g. horses becoming ill and adding horses to your stable though breeding.When you watch a race it's got such good graphics.
Overall this is a great game and i recommend it to any horse racing fanatics.

Hmmmmm
not a bad game, great fun at first but gets a little repetitive but good value and you will take it off the shelf every now and then when Cheltenham or ascot comes around.
