GamingUnion.net: "Horse racing is one of the biggest sports in the world, attracting millions of avid punters every year. But, despite numerous attempts by Tecmo Koei to try and stimulate the same market in the world of video games, it's never taken off as a solid concept - well, not until the advent of motion controls. G1 Jockey came into its own on the Nintendo Wii and it's prompted a much bigger response this time around. We've got a renamed franchise and a full-on release with support for every console's motion peripherals. And to be fair to the developers, they've made a decent go of things."

Giddyup ... sounds like a pretty decent game, but i dont think i'll get it though
It is a fun game for the most part, just a lot to take in with the control methods.
Debbie's been working to win the coveted title of Champion Apprentice in her first year of Champion Jockey.
"As a new jockey you have to work your way up through the ranks by riding horses at every meet. Thing is, unlike so many racing games, you don’t actually need to win every race to progress. Some horses are nags far past their best and the stable trainers know this. To win approval from your colleagues and gain jockey points, all you really need to do is place higher than the bookies were expecting. You’ll earn points every time this happens, with a large boost when you win. You’ll also gain favour with the trainers, which you’ll need to if you want to ride the best horses and be the champion."
...I`ll Admit it, i had Gallop racer on the original PS1 and i loved it lol, a total surprise.... so i may have to check this out
For Kinect fans looking in, Champion Jockey can’t be described as a must-buy with such limited support. But for fans of the sport, the game is easily worth a purchase – especially given the bargain price it seems to be available for everywhere. Champion Jockey is the FIFA of horse racing – and we have to say that we're truly impressed with it.
Looks like it jockeyed away from some of the details that would have gave it a better score.
