Rival Stars Horse Racing vs Phar Lap Horse Racing Challenge

[Paino75]

Is this game the same one released long ago for consoles entitled Phar Lap Horse Racing Challenge? The graphics and game screens seem completely identical to me! Can anyone tell me the differences if there are any? I don't want to buy a duplicate. Thank you.

The console version was created by another company and won't be receiving any new updates. It's going to stay the way it was on the day of its release. This version is based on the App Rival Stars Horse racing which, although it looks the same, was developed by another company and has been updated with new content, as well as future content.
Right now the main difference is that the App/PC version have foal raising, skills, customizing tack, multiplayer races, etc. The PC version does have the horse maker like the console, as well as the betting mode (one or more players can watch races, bet on horses, etc.).

1) both Phar Lap and Rival Stars were developed by PikPok, but Phar Lap was then sold to other company
2) Phar Lap has been updated like 2 weeks ago or so

So is it the exact same game? I already own the Phar Lap Horse Racing Challenge for consoles and didn't want to risk buying the exact same game! Are there differences or not? Thank you.

It was? That's actually good news! I felt it would be really unfair for the console version to be left behind regarding the updates that the app (and PC) received.
