When it comes to the sport of dog racing the best breed to use for it would happen to be greyhounds. In the game known as Hounded you will have a total of thirty two greyhounds taking part in one of four races. The top four dogs will advance to the semi finals and so on from there till a winning dog is found. The dogs that come in last will be de-registered.
Other then racing you will also have to nurture your dogs and train them.
This can be a very challenging task to take on. You will have a box with the dogs stats placed in to tell if you would want to hire on a trainer to assist in this task. This can become quite expensive, but could pay off in the end. There are many ways calculations will be done on your dog’s performances and strength, which will get them better stats in the races. Depending on how your dog performs in the races will depend on the variables used in calculations. It will take a lot of effort to get your dog to become a great racer, but have patience its worth it in the long run.
When it comes to the on track
racing each dog will be in a different color. On the top of the screen there is a display stating the dogs’ number, there name, their odds of winning, and which color they are. This does assist in telling who is who since the dogs are just fast moving animations of what look to be flying dogs. At the end of the race you will see a camera flash, the crowd will roar and the top four placeholders will be given their winnings.
When it comes to the betting aspect of the game it is definitely not as exciting as the dog racing and training. At the beginning you might be in the negatives for a little while, but eventually you will be a superb dog trainer and be winning every race.
The graphical appeal of the games interface is very minimal but has phenomenal animation done to the movement of the greyhounds. The sounds that have been used are your general keystrokes, a moving tractor, there are crowd noises, and during the selection of your trainer you will have good music playing.
Hounded is a very simple game to understand which can become quite addicting. There is so much behind the games plot that allows the game play to be much expanded. With the addition of the save feature you are able to go back and enjoy previous games that you have started instead of beginning the game over again.
Overall, Hounded is a game with a lot of imagination placed into the plot of the game that allows you to personalize your own dog team and take part in many racing aspects. There are so many great aspects to the game play that will keep you interested for quite some time. So sit back and get ready to be amazed on how entranced you get with a bunch of greyhounds racing. It’s worth downloading!
