The graphics in the horse racing simulation game are generally described as simple and outdated, often compared to older mobile games, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the realistic environments and find the graphics adequate for the game's focus on stats, many express disappointment with the visual quality, especially given the potential for improvement in a modern racing sim. Overall, the graphics serve their purpose but fall short of expectations for a contemporary gaming experience.

“Good graphics and realistic environment.....9/10.”
“Graphics - they're fairly simple for 2017, but they get the job done.”
“I do find Starters Orders 6 to be a fun play and it is the best you can get, but it really is not all that great, and even Starters Orders 7 does not fix a lot of the graphical issues that occur in Starters Orders 6.”
“The 3D racing graphics are like an old mobile phone game, but it doesn't really matter.”
“This game is not user friendly and the graphics on max settings are on par with cell phone games.”

The gameplay features deep and immersive mechanics that can be addictive once mastered, though the user interface may feel clunky. Unlike the arcade-style gameplay of the Gallop Racer series, this game requires players to invest time in learning both the mechanics and the intricacies of horse racing, which some may find challenging but ultimately rewarding.
“It's really deep and can be addicting once you get the hang of the mechanics of the game.”
“The UI can be a little clunky and weird, but the core mechanics of the game are deep and immersive.”
“Don't expect the shiny visuals and arcade-style gameplay of the Gallop Racer series here.”
“For me, learning those mechanics on top of having to educate myself on the sport of horse racing was a bit of a chore, but worth it in the end.”
