KOEI & Techmo's new horse racing game

[Calzone Lord]

Comes out next month I guess. Happened to stumble upon the reviews this morning.

Pros
•A wealth of control/gameplay customisation options.
•In-depth with almost endless replay value.
•PlayStation Move responds well.
•Races are short and snappy with minimal loading in between.

Cons
•You will need an hour or so just to get to grips with the basics.
•Gameplay is repetitive and depends more on stat-managing than player skill.
•Presentation is sub-par, both in graphics and audio.
•Non-spoken dialogue that amounts to walls of text.
•KOEI’s attempt to crowbar some form narrative into Champion Jockey is laughable.
•A distinct lack of John McCririck.

If you’re a fan of horse racing or interested in getting into the sport, Champion Jockey is without doubt a must-have; it’s technical, it’s in-depth and you’re guaranteed hours upon hours of replay value. However, if you happen to be a gamer looking for a quick burst of casual fun, Champion Jockey’s myriad of intricacies and learning curve may be enough to hinder your enjoyment.

Hopefully will be a good time killer in the winter.
