Rating: - The best racing game ever of ANY kind.
I'm a big horseracing fan and I follow the races even minus the betting. I'm also a veteran computer gamer meaning I have played countless driving and racing sims. The beauty of this game is the UNPREDICTABILITY of each race. Like in all classic racing sims from the old "Street Rod" to "Gran Turismo" the same formula is used here: Build, Race, Win, Upgrade - but with the intriguing twist of each horse's individuality. The game itself is not so simple. As owner/trainer you must be careful to place your horse in the proper race. As jockey it's up to you to give your mount every possible chance. Ultimately what will keep you entranced with this game is what you can't do: In other games we "Save" before each race and "Restart Race" if we lose, being wiser from the experience; here it will be a new race each time.
I recommend this game to the problem gambler going "cold turkey", for his horseracing fix, as the action is SO real. To the uninitiated you will develop a deep understanding of why "The Sport of Kings" continues to fascinate royalty and commoner alike through the ages.
Rating: - THE BEST HORSE GAME EVER!
I got this game for my birthday! It is awesome! At the beginning, you buy some horses and race them. When they are finished racing, you can breed them and get a foal! The whole point in the game is strategy. For around the first month, I never won a race. But I never gave up and still played the game. Now I am a pro!!!! For anyone who loves horses just like me, will enjoy this game.
Rating: - Gallop Racer is the best!!
Gallop Racer is the best PS1 game I have. In fact, it is practically the only PL1 game I have that is how it is soo great. This game is ok for people who don't like horses for example my 18 year old brother and his friend played it and they really liked it. Probably because the like racing almost anything. Anyway, You get to choose from loads of differant horses between A to Z. My favorite turf horse is Fast Navy and and Clear soul is also pretty good. In dirt my favorite harse is Hell Billy and Sedate Devil. You can race short or long races depending on your horse. Practice mood is when you etheir need to practice or your playing by yourself. You can even choose the horses you want to play against.When you go to Season Mode you can save a baby you have bred and you saved it you can upload it to practice mode. In season mode you play simular to a real Jockey. You have points to buy a horse and enter a race and if you lose you have to pay a certain amount. You can retire and breed your horses and they can have a baby. Or you can sell them and you usually dont get any points. You can verse against you friends and the PL1. You can do Random Mode where the PL1 will choose your horses and the Track. I would give this game 100 stars if I could.
Rating: - HARD!
This game is fun but REALLY hard to win i only won one race and I've been playing for over a month. You should rent it first so you can see if you like it. Other than that the game is pretty fun and easy to work.

My daughter was always renting this game from the video store and loved it so much that I decided to give it a try. I'm not much of a video game player, but I've got to tell you that this really is an awesome game, especially if you enjoy horses. It has so many different aspects to it that you never get bored! There's a lot to consider and I wish that the manual was just a tad more detailed in a couple of areas. That would be helpful when you are first starting out, but my 9 year old daughter was able to pick right up on the jest of the game, and with some help from me, she is really understanding and learning about the actual training and breeding end of horse-racing. She can race against the computer or against me, or just bet on races when she gets tired of that... The graphics are terrific and you can adjust the weather, the views and pick any number of horses and race tracks. It's so much fun that we don't want to stop playing it to take it back to the video store, so that is why we are buying our own copy... It's fun for ALL!
