Phar Lap Horse Racing Challenge - Nintendo Switch

I've played this now on PS4 and Switch and found it to be a lot of fun. The game did not come officially sealed and was just sealed with shrink wrap.Used this as my holiday game for killing time when travelling. If you go all the way to the end of this game and breed a lot of your own horses you will find a bug when trying to delete horses. I can only assume it's an issue with what ever database they used to store the horse information. I encountered the same issue on PS4 where as you went on the game would lag while deleting a horse. On PS4 it could take about 30 seconds to a minute in the end. With the Switch it can take well over 20-30 minutes to delete a horse.I think I must have played this game more than any other person in existance! Breeding mechanics are very simplistic (you can just keep breediing related horses over and over) and so are game mechanics. Distance means very little. Horses that are effective in sprints are just as good at distance. Front running is the easiest way to win and the AI is silly on the longer distance races, just keep getting horses sprinting for the lead over and over.

We love horse 🐎 racing so this was a quirky game my boyfriend and I love it

Not quite what I was hoping for in some ways but very enjoyable and disturbingly addictive. Very easy to play even for those of us who got a Switch cos we miss our old consoles. Doubt it will go down as a critics choice but if you want a simple fun game that you gradually learn to get better at, i recommend. I'm on level 18 and still enjoying

The horse racing game genre is such a niche market that there are very few games released on any format of the sport.Perhaps one day, a game will be made that covers British racetracks, but until then, we will have to make do with an exceptionally cheesy storyline and let’s say, adequate racing simulation.It is satisfying to win a race with a horse that you have bred, but the novelty soon wears off when in essence, you press the same buttons with every horse that you ride, and it becomes very samey and unchallenging.The graphics are no better than G1 jockey and the whole experience feels less fun.As there are no competitors (at least on the switch) if you are desperate to play a horse racing game, then this will have to be the one for you.
