I'm a complete novice when it comes to the G1 Jockey series, but after playing attheraces presents Gallop Racer, I decided to give G1 Jockey 4 a go. For anyone else new to these games, I'll explain a bit more about it.There are two modes of gameplay; Trial mode, in which you choose to rerun famous races and hone your racing skills, with either 1 or 2 players, and Story mode, which constitutes the main bulk of the game. There is also a tutorial, which is invaluable to G1 Jockey 4 as there are a great many things to learn.Firstly, in Story Mode, you pick a name, jockey and silks and take part in mock races at the academy, after which you will graduate as an apprentice.You choose a trainer and stable,from whom you will either be offered or request horses to ride. Based on your relationship with them, you will meet more trainers, be offered more horses and increase your skills and rank, until you can take part in the most prestigious G1 races.Now the most important part: the horses. Each horse is different, with different characteristics which will either help or hinder you through the race. If you impress its trainer, it will be offered to you as a regular ride. You can also take it for a workout before the race to perfect its skills. Once a year you also have the option of breeding your own from those available at the stable, naming it and training it until its debut, with a various selection of exercises.The graphics are impressive and the horses are very realistic.However, G1 Jockey 4 requires a great deal of patience. With so much to learn in order to run a race, some people may be put off - it will be quite a while before you will be able to win races, even in easy mode. The tutorial is helpful, as is the manual, but even with the choice of two control modes you are often required to press several buttons at once in order to execute a vital move.On the other hand, this ensures that the game has longevity. Once you have mastered the controls, G1 Jockey 4 becomes a fun and rewarding game to play, as the rather steep learning curve means that you are continually learning and improving as a jockey.If you are new to this format or are more interested in horses, I would suggest attheraces presents Gallop Racer (aka Gallop Racer 2003: A New Breed), as it is more light-hearted and you take the role of both manager, jockey and horse breeder. That said, it is definitely worth a try; I would recommend renting before buying.

G1 Jockey 4, is mostly an improvement on G1 Jockey 3. The substory part of the game is greatly improved with the ability to breed your own horse for the flat or jumps and train it, using a variety of workouts to give it strengths and weaknesses.The gameplay is pretty much the same as the previous version of the game. Starting off as an apprentice, and working your way to more wins, titles and gaining trust and respect from trainers to ride better horses. Again the horses have names very close to recent "real" horses...such as "Alex Goldrun" and "Rule Of Lawyer", which all adds to the fun.There are two options for the controls, to use the old controls from version 3, or the new "touchy-feely" controls.Depending where you buy your game, you can get a free "add on" for your controller, which joins the analogue sticks together and simulates the movement for horse reins; it sounds great but I have found the new controls somewhat difficult. Somehow you're supposed to be able to push along your horse and have an extra hand left over to press other buttons to change legs, change whip techniques and so on. I quickly went back to the old controls from 3.The game still hasn't got the riding of the horses quite as good as they could. It isn't as good as the riding in "Gallop Racer 2". And the limitations on the number of anonymous tracks does seem a bit dull. The jumping races have vastly improved though and you can actually fall off. All in all a great game for horse racing lovers, but still lacking a certain something.

The title really says it all, this game is awesome and is quite detailed. There is negotiating for your own horses, and then once you've negotiated for them you can workout the horses, this can make or break your horses performance in the race. You can rear your own horses and train them too. The game starts off telling you about how you love horse racing and now your at racing school. You start off with 4 mock races (which i lost all of them) and then your chosen racing stables takes you on. It is a fun and rewarding game and i hope this helps anyone wanting to try this game. Remember, patience pays off with this game.
