Three Horse Racing Games You Should Be Playing Online

Three Horse Racing Games You Should Be Playing

Have you ever had dreams of owning, training, and riding your very own race horse? This is easier said than done, considering that horse racing, besides being one of the most lucrative competitive sports there is, is also the most dangerous. Ok, that’s settled, still… just because you might not necessarily have the kind of resources it takes to train these beauties, let alone ride one, it doesn’t mean you should stop there.

Welcome To The World Of Simulation Gaming

See, simulations were originally meant to mimic real life situations on screen. Further advancements have long since enabled the simulator to be manipulated. Hence, the major difference between this and your Xbox console is that real life simulations offer that true to life feel that has only been adapted upon and slightly improved on by the modern consoles.

We have compiled a list of games we think every race horse gamer ought to check out this year.

1. Starters Orders 6

This release comes with all the features of a fully interactive racehorse game, including lush 3D graphics. This is the latest installment in a long line of Starters that have been keeping horse racing games fans strapped for over 15 years. Noted improvements are UW mode (ultra wide), meaning you can enhance the resolution of your PC to ‘fit to screen’ and this won’t in any way affect the graphic quality i.e. it won’t pixelate.

You pretty much get to be a breeder, trainer, owner, and racer of your own stable of horses. Cross different types of steeds and compete in breathtaking 3D environments with race tracks in many real time world famous locations in the US, United Kingdom, and just about anywhere else in the world. Plus the tracks are realistic and you might think you are actually racing in the GrandNational Club 2017, despite the fact that it’s a simulation.

Credits acquired from races can be used to make addition to your stables from the shop. If you have enough, you can even look up the betting options to multiply your wins. Single player option allows you to try out your horse breeds with game’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) for extensive training. Tracks have been customized to include dirt and turf tracks.

The interactive part has also been enhanced with tones of background bogies that go into building on the believability of Starters Orders 6. A real race fan will appreciate the work that has gone into this piece to get even the most hard core horse racing fan pounding away on the keyboard.
