Anyone played this yet?

Tried the demo, it's pretty limited but the game looks OK if you can get it for under $50, wouldn't pay $90-$100 for it. It has jockey and betting modes in the demo and both seemed alright, I hope the Jockey portion of the game is better than the demo though - it's far too easy to win.

 

[Nuffs]

lol

the demo is easy as to win. i only ever now race on a 50/1 or 100/1 shot to try and win

and yeah it's all pretty limited so i couldn't rate it until i played the full version

Have the game, got it for $65 at jb hi-fi.

Still getting used to it, thought I would play something different for a change. Season mode is bloody hard.

Not sure about the longevity if this game though for me, will get bored of it soon as i'm not a big racing enthusiast.
Still if you are into the sport, I would recommend it.

I got it for $58 at Big W.
Pretty good and addictive.

is this the one sidhe put out?

 

[Rocco]

yeah this is the one that sidhe has put out. and i thought this will be a flop but it doesnt look like it. they did pretty much a good job making this game.

After having a good crack at it, I am enjoying this game, it is a well made game from them.

Into my fourth year in season mode, have close to $6 mil in the kitty and four fine horses, won the caulfield, the cox, the dubai and the hong kong. Was pipped at the post for the melbourne cup.

If you are into horse racing, you will love it.

Good game. Only just got it but I'm enjoying it so far

 

[sydraider]

Once you win some big money in a couple of races, you can afford to purchase a created horse with 100 ratings for everything, will set you back about $1.4 mil but it will never lose.

I have a few of those created Horses now, Im up over $20 mil and my betting manager is starting to bring me back a 3mil profit every month. Yes its getting a bit tedious, well for me because Im not a big horse racing fan.
Still there is potential with betting party and a few mates on the sauce I guess :lol:

Just won a copy of this in a newspaper competiton , it was only launched in England in December as Frankie Dettori Racing. Had played the demo, but looking forward to the season mode and betting features instead of just teh jockey action.
