    With a near-limitless plethora of horses, tons of strategy, and loads of gameplay extras, this is a sure bet. [May 2003, p.83]
  2. This game has extended play written all over it. Starting with a fledgling jockey and horse and building up over time and progressively more difficult races results in a game that, if you are a fan of the genre, will have you entertained for weeks on end.

    The races are challenging and exciting, plus the management features give the game a considerable amount of depth. The game goes beyond its high concept and delivers a rather enjoyable hybrid of arcade and simulation-styled gameplay.

    A variety of game modes and high replay value make GR 2003 a game not to be missed. [May 2003, p.36]

    It's got plenty of depth and, believe it or not, there is skill involved. Considering the lack of horse racing games on the PS2, this is truly as good as it gets.
  6. 78
    The central gameplay mechanic of Gallop Racer 2003, and the one I found compelling, is that it forces you to strike an ever-shifting balance between your horse's position on the track and its level of stamina.
  7. A much better gambling system, improved breeding and hours and hours of racing keeps this one at the head of the pack.

    Are you into horse racing? OK, then you'll absolutely go giddyap over GR03. Are you into racing games in general? Then you ought to give GR03 a test ride. [June 2003, p.50]
