After playing the full retail game I can say that it is a bit better than the demo. I loved the demo, I played it in it's entirety over a period of about 2.5 hours. Luckily for me I knew nothing about the game prior to the demo so I only had to wait a short week before the full release. My demo horse was retired instantly in the full game due to his age and I was able to select a new horse. The one I selected was leaps and bounds better than the one I chose in the demo. I felt like the growth of the new horse was putting me at a more competitive edge. I feel like the gameplay is pretty balanced, when my stats are better then my competitors I tend to win and when my stats are worse typically I get blown out of the water. The perk price in the in game store went from power ups costing around $300-$500 when I was in a lower class to $8000 all the way up to $15,000 when I reached a higher rank. I stopped winning races because I was continuously racing against matured opponents who eclipsed me in both stat areas. That was frustrating. So why I agree with some of the review, I will say that for the price point this game is defiantly worth a shot, if anything try the demo! I was honestly expecting the price to be set at $10 or $15.
I will say I'm disappointed in lack of 3D though, Gamefreak seems to steer clear of the 3D feature in their games.
I wouldn't mind this. I enjoyed Miitomo for a while, maybe I'm just not social enough. After a while it felt much more like a chore than a game. I'm just hoping that this doesn't turn into more of that. The last Animal Crossing was a flop in my eyes so hopefully they can get back from that and back to the basics. I'm hoping this also doesn't mean that they will abandon 3DS and Wii U support for AC. I think Fire Emblem is such a powerhouse right now that they would be foolish to adapt it to iOS and Android only but with the last AC game, I am worried about the future of the series!

Re: Pocket Card Jockey Comes to North America on 5th May
Loved the demo. I'm curious does anyone know if there will be 3D support for this game? The demo didn't showcase any 3D.
