My cousin will be happy, I have the X-Box, so I will be SOL. :(

Bah. Horse Racing fans are still hungry for a real management sim.

I agree:(


But this eases my pain somewhat.

I want to know what the heck is "Big Revolution"

"Big Revolution" is what you get in Ruanda after Idi Amin's grandson films Super Size Me II right before the coup.

I like the breeding elements of <i>Gallop Racer</i>, but I prefer the race action of <i>G1 Jockey 3</i>. There's a sort of RPG thing going on with your jockey, since he can learn new skills, and even get more detailed information on a horse the more he rides that horse. It's nifty.

Have you heard of any Horse racing game for the XBox coming down the pike? If not, can you get the word out to any company you talk to that there is interest in one.

Not in North America, Cards, although there's a pretty nifty one called <i>Jockey's Road</i> or somesuch if you a) speak Japanese, and b) have the wherewithal and desire to import the game. :)
