About this product

Product Information

Gallop Racer features 1400+ horses, 28 racetracks, secrets to be unlocked, and three modes of play - Season, Practice, and Versus -- in which players can become a jockey or a spectator. When starting a season as a jockey players will need to name themselves, choose a gender, select a difficulty level, and design their uniform. Once the jockey setup is complete a horse will need to be purchased. While up to 10 horses can be owned at one time, some races will need to be won before a player can afford to purchase and maintain more than one horse.<br><br>The objective of Season mode is to become the best jockey which will require maintaining a stable of strong horses. Since game players can only own 10 horses at a time they may choose to sell or retire horses. Selling horses does, of course, earn money. However, selling a horse is not always the best route to take as retiring can eventually lead to breeding. If a player retires both a male and a female horse they can then breed their own original horse. The new horse's abilities will be a direct result of their parents' strengths and weaknesses.<br><br>When entering a race a horse must meet specified requirements. Also, users will have to consider their horse's current condition before entering a race. Horses can be in their best condition, too rested, or too exhausted. Each horse will be affected by the track conditions as well, as some horses run better on turf tracks while others prefer dirt. Horses that were bred during season mode can be used in Practice mode too. Here players can race on any track with any horse. Users do not have to control horses if they do not wish to; instead they can set up a race and be a spectator. As spectators, two players can pit the horses they bred during Season mode against each other by importing horses from memory cards.<br><br>Versus mode has players compete against each other in three or five races. Users select the track and which horses will be entered in each race. Another option available is the choice of splitting the television screen either vertically or horizontally. While racing against one another players also must compete with eight computer-controlled horses. A point value is assigned to each rank so that after the predetermined number of races are run the player with the most points wins.
