As a horse racing fan, I really enjoy the depth of the game. I appreciate that the racing part is not a button masher and actually takes some skill, knowledge of your horse, track, conditions and understanding of the sport. The text/story aspect is tedious to get through but it is worth it with deep gameplay and an interesting role playing aspect.
I have been playing gallop racer since ps1. This does look to be too complicated for its own good. Sometimes i just want to race a darn horse. My parents trained horse, my brother also was a trainer and I held many grooms licenses across the states. Not everyone wants to train the beasts. Imagine if I had to know how to run a pit crew in order to race in a NASCAR game.
@@garybrower239 I dont play anymore. But on a side note Iived on many tracks and farms. My stepfather was a jockey. I can handle and ride and train thoroughbred. Did it for over 30 year's.
@@garybrower239 I live 30 minutes from Saratoga racetrack. Used to sweat 2 and 3 year olds there when I was younger. Worked for many high end trainers.
@@thelionking1215 BTW i agree that the reviewer has little to no clue. I understand why some of these features are here. Its a collaboration so it should include training modes. Even later gallop racers had this and some had betting systems. I didn't like them either. My favorite is the first GR on PS1.
I'm appreciative of the review... he clearly doesn't have the passion or drive or understanding of horse racing and the game, but not everyone does. I have played many horse racing games and this is one of the best (asides from the super hilarious Japan World Cup (I think you might enjoy that more undertow). All other enthusiasts I know of who have played G1 loved it. So while a biased review - he did clearly state he's not a fan of animals running in circles. I give him credit for sharing and am sure others will feel similarly to him. I for one love it - but I too am biased :) Give the guy credit - he did state everything quite well. Thanks undertow - I don't agree with you but respect what you have done :)
Wow - he's really rough on this video... I don't even know how to horse race & I still brought this game because it's very interesting... Guess what ! I really like it ! There nothing like watching the replay after you win a race... Still got to practice... This game is not for everyone but if you like horse racing then you will enjoy this game...
+Nubias PREACH! It's not even a fair review. The controls are not even very hard. I had never played a horse racing game before this one and I picked up the controls within a few days. Of course if you're biased and hate the game before you even try it, you probably won't be willing to take a few hours to get it.
In addition to my last comment....this game isn't as complicated as you are describing it and a lot of people complain about this game being hard. In my first Story Mode, I had 128 wins in my first year alone.
I play it on PS4 so controls are different. Use the tutorials, they really do help. Start career on Easy. I just figured out you can win races without using the whip at all. It depends on all aspects of the game, start, positioning, when to let loose with all the speed (around 400m) and the horses abilities. Love this game still in 2021. Enjoy it my friend! 😀😀😀
@FastTquick Pretty much THIS haha, as an actual horse racing fan this looks very intriguing, I'd love to try it out. There's so much more to horse racing than just...horse racing.
This is is just my opinion, (as I am not a supporter of horse racing because two of my horses have died from it,) the reason he dislikes the game is because that's just what it is, making an animal become a car, making it go faster against it's will. It's ridiculous. I know horses love to run, as I have had 15 years of experience with them, but this is not fun. This is torture.
Terrible review from someone who clearly fails to grasp the fundamentals of the game. "I'm not even sure how to describe how you play this game." Says it all.
Wow....this really shows off the power of the PS3. Horse racing is bollocks, it is not a sport, it's a bunch of small men whacking the shit out of horses with sticks whilst people bet money on it.
This would be an awful gift, but then again... *puts on sunglasses* ... Never look a gift horse in the mouth. *shudders* Sorry... I had to try. Never tried a sunglasses pun before... lol
if you are implying that hitting a horse with a whip is very cruel, then you are clearly forgetting that race horses are 9 times more impervious to pain than humans and the fact that these "men in hats" as you so call them have to make weights of 112 lbs if they want to ride which means realistically, that these jockeys won't be able to hit their horses very hard.So next time you so rudely insult jockeys purely because you do not like a video game, do your reasearch so you don't offend anyone.
I don't want to be a negative commenter but this review truly made me disgusted with you. I cant even really explain it. If you don't know anything about horse racing why would you review a horse racing game. A lot of horse racing in real life is about jockeys knowing their horse and striking at the right time in the race. Jockeys have agents who find them mounts and ride for different owners. Their is much to horse racing you will never understand. Clown would be the harshest way I would want to describe you only because I don't like leaving negative comments.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAT THROUGH THIS REVIEW, I HAVE ZERO INTENTION TO EVEN REMEMBER THIS GAME AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PS3, wtf brain? What you doing to me
The reviewers first line- "Im not a big fan of horse racing, because im not a fan of watching people ride animals in cirles..." Well why the fuck did you review this game then?. There are, people who like horse racing and would like to know from a professional point of view what this game is like. But if your not passionate about the genre, and thats the only point you bother geting across, than its a waiste of time!! Thank you for your useless rambling instead of helpful information Sir!

This guy has no clue about horse racing. This is actually a real nice game. He should stick to reviewing games he understands.

One minute in and I can see you have no clue how to play it, it's a fantastic game, your bias got in the way of giving an honest review.
Wow - he's really rough on this video... I don't even know how to horse race & I still brought this game because it's very interesting... Guess what ! I really like it ! There nothing like watching the replay after you win a race... Still got to practice... This game is not for everyone but if you like horse racing then you will enjoy this game...
Why are you reviewing the games if your already biased? A critique is supposed to have no polarity from the reviewer.
+Nubias PREACH! It's not even a fair review. The controls are not even very hard. I had never played a horse racing game before this one and I picked up the controls within a few days. Of course if you're biased and hate the game before you even try it, you probably won't be willing to take a few hours to get it.
You explained the game incorrectly from 0:25 - 4:50.
In addition to my last comment....this game isn't as complicated as you are describing it and a lot of people complain about this game being hard. In my first Story Mode, I had 128 wins in my first year alone.
Theres Playstore?
horse racing isn't really an untapped market in gaming, there's a lot in Japan
I got champion jockey, but i don't know how to play it. can someone tell me? (For wii)

crap review for a great game and sport
grown up around horse racing. so i understand pretty much everything lol
WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET THESE GAMES?
This was a very biased, and one sided review ever. All based off pre perception of view on horse racing... not worth the view
@FastTquick Pretty much THIS haha, as an actual horse racing fan this looks very intriguing, I'd love to try it out. There's so much more to horse racing than just...horse racing.
A video game for toffs, which are the kind of people who dont play video game. Good job at knowing your market.

Nice review
CGR got someone who doesn't like horse racing to review champion jockey? I wouldn't have my little sister review madden.
Terrible review from someone who clearly fails to grasp the fundamentals of the game.
"I'm not even sure how to describe how you play this game." Says it all.
Why did you even get this game if you hate horse racing? o,O
Do, you even know the first thing about horse racing and horses
Wow....this really shows off the power of the PS3.
Horse racing is bollocks, it is not a sport, it's a bunch of small men whacking the shit out of horses with sticks whilst people bet money on it.
This game looks sick!
People in japan like these games, I think. They also like train simulators.
This would be an awful gift, but then again...
*puts on sunglasses*
... Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
*shudders* Sorry... I had to try. Never tried a sunglasses pun before... lol
But can u bet?
Nope
@FastTquick He does, and has...
Hagan un videojuego igual que este para ps4 por w
NASCAR has racecars driving around in circles over and over again. Why don't you criticize that sport as well?
if you are implying that hitting a horse with a whip is very cruel, then you are clearly forgetting that race horses are 9 times more impervious to pain than humans and the fact that these "men in hats" as you so call them have to make weights of 112 lbs if they want to ride which means realistically, that these jockeys won't be able to hit their horses very hard.So next time you so rudely insult jockeys purely because you do not like a video game, do your reasearch so you don't offend anyone.
I love horse racing game that is in 3d
control your seed
If Mark whips Derek, will he churn out reviews of these terrible games even faster?
a perfect example of a good ps3 game =D
Ummm, if you're 'not a fan of horse racing', why are you reviewing this game? And I doubt your 'earn your respect' if you're like this.
@FastTquick He has already. lol.
I don't want to be a negative commenter but this review truly made me disgusted with you. I cant even really explain it.

GOOD statement im on your side ^^
If you dont understand horse racing, of course it wont be interesting. Duh.
2nd?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAT THROUGH THIS REVIEW, I HAVE ZERO INTENTION TO EVEN REMEMBER THIS GAME AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PS3, wtf brain? What you doing to me
I would get this game, if had PONIES!
they do have ponies
@TmKmHill ...ba-zing
I find this guy very offensive for some reason. -.-
The reviewers first line- "Im not a big fan of horse racing, because im not a fan of watching people ride animals in cirles..." Well why the fuck did you review this game then?.
There are, people who like horse racing and would like to know from a professional point of view what this game is like. But if your not passionate about the genre, and thats the only point you bother geting across, than its a waiste of time!! Thank you for your useless rambling instead of helpful information Sir!
This game is not that complicated as he makes it sound and is quite fun. Terrible review and even worse reviewer.
quite possibly the most boring game ever made.
Trump 2020
I love horse racing game that is in 3d
