Gallop Racer 2004 (Sony PlayStation 2, 2004)

Product Specs

Description

Tecmo's third horse-racing sim to come to North American PlayStation 2 consoles, Gallop Racer 2004 follows the lead of its predecessors to the starting line, but makes a few adjustments out of the gate. The game's "Season" mode casts the player as a relative newcomer to the sport, with just one horse, a small barn, and aspirations of greatness. By hiring a jockey and training properly, players will be able to enter a few regular races, and hopefully bring home some winnings. With the proper funding, they'll be able to improve their stables, offices, and other facilities, leading to faster animals and even greater chances to enter the winner's circle. Players can sit back and try to make some extra money by betting on races, or take the role of the jockey to guide the horse to victory. Gallop Racer 2004's "Extra" mode features tutorials and practice tracks, and well as multiplayer races for up to four competitors.
