    I am very impressed at the level of depth this game provides. If there’s anything to complain about, it’s the fact that you can't 'manage-only' – you must race your horse.

    Even if horse racing doesn't sound too thrilling to you, Gallop Racer 2001 is still worth a look, as it's a fun game on its own merits.

    A fine game – but it’s lacking the depth and realism that many of the more complex management type sims have. Those looking for a quick racing thrill without a lot of fuss will find a lot to like.

    It's not necessarily a game that should be restricted to a tiny enthusiast base, because like any well-made simulation it has the potential to transcend its subject matter.

    Like a Gran Turismo for horse-racing games…Only the dedicated need apply. [Sept 2001, p.145]
