Is Melbourne Cup Challenge a simulation or an arcade game?
Melbourne Cup Challenge is a combination of simulation and arcade game. Visually and aurally the game is as accurate as possible; from the photo-realistic stadiums (based on real-world licensed tracks); to the motion captured horse and jockey animation; to the full audio race commentary (by professional commentator Matthew Hill), everything has been designed to suck the player in to a truly believable horse racing world. But playability is key. Everything from the interface to the in race controls is designed to be easily accessible and understandable even to novice horse racing fans, whilst still providing depth in season mode and in the harder race challenges that will require skill and tactics even from horse racing veterans.
