Unlike its predecessor G1 jockey, G1 Jockey 2008 is set to be a big hit on the Wii console, all thanks to the way the player can use a Wii Balance Board to ride the horse. The first version of G1 jockey on the Wii was a mediocre game at best, but as we've seen before with Nintendo's party games, pairing up the right game with the right control method can make a mediocre game great.
Players mount a virtual horse and judder up and down on their Wii board to mimick the movement of a jockey. The Wii remote and nunchuk also come into play. Use your Wii remote when the time is right to whip your steed and gain speed. Not a game for the animal rights brigade then!
