Horse Racing Manager: Horse Lovers dreams answered!, 10 April 2003
Got the game yesterday and it is exactly what Horse racing lovers have dreamt of for yearsIn brackets I have included the games which feature the (relevant sections of this game) Great menu system, good sounds, nice graphics, quickly learnt, not as slow moving as many sims due to plethora of options and game modes. You buy a cheapie to start off, build stables, feeding bays etc, hire staff, a trainer, a jock, lad etc,-(Theme stable!!) then feed and groom and tend to your horse, then you can enter in races, you hire a jock and instruct him etc.(Stable Masters) At the races you can just watch, or just bet, or indeed ride the horse yourself.(G1 Jockey) There is Jumps, flat and trot, though if you select to play in the UK where we have no trotting, this option is not available, which is great for us brits, as the GB and Japan country game includes all the big races on all the great tracks... (theres a nice stable 30 miles west of Brighton on the market!!). You have auctions, claimers, sellers, top yearlings cost 500,000 and you only start with 150.000-(Good To Firm) Put Good to Firm/ Stable masters/Stable Manager/G1 Jockey, and several others together and you get HORSE RACING MANAGER Its got the lot, as when your horse is rated a certain rating you then join the live racing leagues on the net, enter your star horse for real money in races all day long Im sure after a few weeks there will be an ONLINE championship league, and regular real races daily, which ensures the game never finishes Everything is included, and the multiplayer is easily set up, and we can race our best across the net in seconds Well worth the £14.99, if you liked all the other games, this really has it all!! Well worth a buy if you like horse racing sims... They havent missed ANYTHING out, even the smallest thing like earplugs, and a goat for your runners companionship are included!
