Well......
- 10/27/2007
it is not the best, but not the worst either. I first got it and loved it, then got bored after a few months of non-stop game time. Now I'm playing again and have over 15 horses in the My Horse stable. Most champions. The game has its bad spots and good spots...
Good:
The races are realistic
Its not way too easy or that hard
You can breed horses other then your own
The horses stats and likings are more realistic, for example, if you have a turf distance runner, it will most likely lose on dirt sprint.
But then, like every game, it has its bad spots:
You can only have one horse at a time.
You have to pay to breed your own horses
You have to buy your foal(which really stinks)
In the 2003 A New Breed gallop racer, it didn't really matter if your horse preferred turf or dirt, 5 fur sprints or 2 mile distance. If you had a good horse, you would win. Thats not very realistic, now is it?
Oh, one other thing, you don't win the purse money in races. It all goes on your horses career and you make some off the points, and a little off the purse. But you can make a lot, in as little as 2 game years.
The best version since the original

I've tried Gallop Racer 2001, 2003, and 2004 and I think this one is the best version since the original Gallop Racer from 1999 (which I still have and still play). I actually think the first version is the best of the series, but this one has better graphics, and I was glad they cut out the Jockey school and other stuff from the previous 2004 edition. I didn't like that at all, maybe it was fun for the kids, but I wanted to get right to the racing aspect of the game, not go to 'school' beforehand.
My only complaint was that the graphics weren't much improved from the previous versions, but maybe the next one will boast better graphics. It's still a fun game to play, nonetheless.
Gallop Racer

I got this game used and I really love it but there is a glitch that just happened to my game. Even though I win races and rake in the dough, the game doesn't recognize this. When I spend money it shows on the monitor, but when I gain something, the monitor doesn't recognize it. Is there anyone with the same problem? Can I fix it or will I have to buy a new one? I already emailed the company, (Tecmo) and they didn't respond.
Ok but Not what I expected.....

I was looking for a game to get over my addiction of DOCWE. For those of you that dont know DOCWE is a horse breeding & racing simulation game only found in gamerooms such as Jillians, Gameworks or Dave & Buster's. It's called the Derby Owners Club World Edition. We were very interested in finding a game similar to that one and heard about this game. Although this game is ok it's just not what I expected. It's not to say that this isn't a great game it's just not exactly what I was hoping it would be. Its a bit more difficult than I imagined and it was just not what I was looking for.
i was very dissapointed....

when i got this game, i was hoping for something like the 2004 edition. this game was a big dissapointment to me. it is still fun, just not as fun as i expected. for those of you who have never played any other gallop racer games, you may give this game 5 stars, but if you play gallop racer 2004, you will rethink your rating. please buy gallop racer 2004,2003,or 2001 instead.
