Starters Orders Pro Demo

Horse racing is not exactly a televised sport, but it does gather large crowds and a lot of money can be made by participating in such competitions. On the other hand, you need a decent amount of money to get into the business as well, because the equipment, the horses, and everything else you need in order to care for them don’t come cheap.

Starters Orders Pro provides you with the chance to simulate the entire thing on your computer and see whether you’ve got what it takes to be a horse racing mogul. Hence, even if you start with a rather small amount of money and only the basics when it comes to stables, equipment, and horses, you can turn a profit quite quickly, as long as you know what you’re doing.

The game goes pretty far to provide you with an authentic experience, because it includes a lot of data and it puts many different options at your disposal. Beside having to train and take care of the horses, you also need to keep an eye on your finances and taxes, as well as hire jockeys and apprentices to handle the racing itself.

Another way to make some quick money (or lose it) is to bet on the races. You are free to put down any amount and just as free to collect your winnings if you are lucky, but most of the time the betting ends with you being broke. Not only that, but you can watch the races live and see exactly which horse is in the lead, in order to know whether you have any chance to win.

As far as the interface is concerned, most of it is text-based and you must learn how to work with that, because not a lot of artwork or visual cues are used to make the experience feel more casual. The races are rendered using a very basic 3D engine and sprites, so don’t expect anything too great there either. Regardless of that, if you enjoy the sport, you might not even pay attention to such details anyway.

In the end, Starters Orders Pro is exactly what you expect it to be, if you are a fan of the sport. However, if you want to see rich 3D graphics and a lot of action, then this is not the game for you, because most of the time you will be staring at text, or badly animated 2D races.
