Highly enjoyable game but dated. October 6, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
G1 Jockey 2008 is highly enjoyable and addictive but fails for a few reasons:
1. The graphics have not improved (dramatically) since the 2003 version on the PS2.
2. The inbetween races scenes in story mode are over long, cliched and date from the ice age - surely a few voice actors and such are not too expensive rather than having to read stuff over and over.
3. The training system could certainly be better.
However, if you want to be a jockey, this is the closest most of us will get and the actual racing is good fun, if you don't ride your horse to its style you won't do well and if you are on a donkey, the good horses will beat you even if you run a great race - the playability is great.
They've attempted to use the sixaxis controller thing, but I got frustrated with trying and soon went back to the normal controls - full marks for effort though and maybe someone else will say it works well - it would improve the addictiveness fully working.
I would recommend this game, but hope that a future release see next-gen graphics rather than what appears to be a PS2 port with minimal effort to upgrade - unfortunetly in a world where graphics is king - G1 Jockey will suffer because of it. However for 17.99 you can't really complain.
7 out of 10.
