Gallop Racer 2006

If you like horse racing game simulation, the best title that can offer you the most fun is Tecmo's Gallop Racer 2006. Though in the past, there were quite a few games like these, this new computer game is different. It does not only involve making turns around the track but also lets you breed the best possible horse, shatter records, win cups, and ultimately, sire a whole line of champions.

To give you an idea of the various types of horses that you can breed and race, the animals are rated based on stamina, ferocity, speed, tenacity, response, courage, staying power, response time, running style, growth type, and distance aptitude. Basically, every horse is distinct, and it's quite difficult to take in all the different symbols and numbers that you have to analyze and consider when taking a look at a horse's statistics sheet. If you're a newbie to play this game, you would find it quite overwhelming to understand the statistics on the menus; however, you just need to be patient at the start of the racing game. One tip for those who really dig this kind of game: strongly whip the horse to accelerate its speed.

You may also choose dozens of distinct race tracks. However, one shortcoming of this video game is its quite dull interface. The graphics are quite unrealistic. Another flaw of this game is the complicated menus within the amusement park because you can spend a lot of time just referencing the manuals of this game. Hence, Gallop Racer 2006 is quite mediocre but just alright for those horse racing buffs.
