This is the best game on the wii so far........ November 30, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is quite simply the best game on the wii so far; if you have an interest in horseracing it will help you get into it even more. The only down side is that the game is based on US racing so everything is based in metres and different colour grades but aside from that it is really good.
You can start a racing career beginning as an apprentice and then negotiate to race horses in different grades. The better you do the more likely the trainer is to offer you a regular ride on that horse. The controls are great but you really need to master them especially changing your horses lead leg after entering/exiting a turn otherwise you won't be able to steer your horse into the rail. What makes it really good is all the different tools the jockey uses to motivate the horse are there from showing the whip to a sharp reminder and driving the horse to the line. Also not all horses are the same and they have different characteristics just as in real life one might have a fast finish another fade out, one might excel on inclines another one have difficulty.
As you build up wins you get racing points which will enable you to negotiate rides if you visit the stables and request to ride in a particular race. If it is a group race you will need more points and if you don't ride well you may be pulled off other rides but ride well even in maiden races and the trainer might offer the horse as a regular ride.
You also have the option of training a horse and improving it's ability to try and take the horse of the year prize. The game is the most demanding wii game on your body as you pump your arms as you drive to the line. Fantastic game.
