5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GAME!!!!!, September 24, 2000

This review is from: Daily Horse Racing (CD-ROM)

I go this game a couple of months a go and i think it is sooo cool!!! its really realistic and you get to choose what amounts of training,food,and lots of other stuff that your horses need to survive, you can either race your horse or have a jocky ride it, and racing on the internet is fun to.... one of the best parts is when you get to train your horse by working it up race by race thn hes gets really good.. I would recomend this game to anyone!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Horse Racing:Sport Of Kings........GREAT!, May 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Daily Horse Racing (CD-ROM)

I've played this over and over again....it's great! I just wanted to say: first, the lobby is excellent. Just one problem though, the server is really bad and either the race pauses or the horses run backwards in the race. It needs to replaced or FIXED. Second(last comment) i'd like to say to that reader that was complaining that we could have only 6 horses that you can get more barns:(here's how) if you have a help menu for your hore racing game, it will give you a list of all the options in the game(hiring a jockey,how to control your horse, etc....)well, if you stroll down the list of options, you'll see"multiple barns" and you click on that. It's easy, and you just read what it tells you(note:you have to know how to copy and reaname files to do it)then you've got it! THERE!

Now I just want to say: THIS IS A GREAT GAME AND I RECOMEND IT FOR ALL RACING FANS!

Thank You.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horse Racing: Daily Racing Form- Game Review, December 28, 1999

My wife, 3 kids and I played this game for about 15 hours finding it to be entertaining. We especially liked being able to select, develop, race, bet, and breed our horses. However, the game lacked the depth I (daddy) was looking for. I would rate it 5 stars for people aged 5-14 as my children loved playing and found it to be somewhat challenging. Perhaps, it would rate as high for older people if we raced our friends online; we have not explored this option yet.
