5 out of 5 stars Better than most   January 3, 2009
I enjoyed this game, it hasn't got a story line, but if you like training and competing this is the one for you. The jumping is very realistic and it takes a lot of effort to practice and get it right. It is much better than My Horse and Me 2.


4 out of 5 stars Could use a story mode   July 20, 2008

I think this is a great game but I don't think it has a whole lot of replay value after the competitions are all over. If there were a sequel I'd love to see cross country courses (not just the usual ones, where you go from one to the next, but like in real life where you have to turn in different directions and sometimes double back on yourself) but that's only a minor complaint, since there are enough showjumping courses to give you something to get your teeth into. It would have been nice to have some form of story mode, although sometimes it's nice to play without one. The mini games are OK, but kind of repetitive, and the Spot The Difference seems impossible to do!
I liked the fact you can fully customise yourself and your horse; not many equestrian games offer that.



4 out of 5 stars Brilliant game for all horse lovers   July 14, 2008

I thought the game was fab! I am a horse owner and loved the idea of the game. Its fab how you can control the wii remote like they are riens and its very realisitic, the controls are hard to get used to at first but as soon as you get the hang of it your well away. I was gutted to find only one level on the elite level tho! but it was great fun to play!


4 out of 5 stars Excellent game only a few bad points   March 15, 2008

As an adult gamer, I think this game was really fun and interesting.

It takes a while to get used to controlling the horse, but once you get the hang of holding the nunchuk and controller as you would the reins, it's really easy to control the horse.

Only bad point is that once you've mastered the controls there's not a great deal of challenge within the game as effectively all you're doing is steering the horse and getting the approach right, you don't control take off, over the jumps, which is a real shame.

I completed it within two days on the camera view because it was fun and addictive and am now trying to complete on the hat view, which is much more difficult, you just don't see those tight corners until it's too late!! which makes it more challenging.

It's a shame there's only course in the Elite level,the game seemed to finish far too soon.

The graphics are fab and there's plenty to do, even when you've completed. I don't like the mini games but I'm sure kids will.

Overall a fab game, I just wish there were more on the market and that you controlled the horses take off



2 out of 5 stars Not much fun   January 11, 2008
  4 out of 6 found this review helpful

As an adult playing this game I expected a little more interaction with the horses etc. The controls are hard to master, the mini-games aren't exactly addictive, the prizes when you beat the times for things are very disappointing (new colours of gloves etc).

I am going to keep playing for now and see if it gets any better but it's just really hard to get into.
