one can get into a car and see what man has made, but one must get on a horse to see what God has made. a stubborn horse walks behind you, an inpatient friend walks in front of you, but a noble companion walks beside you when riding a horse we leave our fear, troubles, and sadness behind on the ground on the back of a horse, you have paradise if you never love a horse, you'll never understand the love for a horse is just as complicated as the love for another human being. for one to fly, you only need to take the reins I was thinking the xbox needed a top quality Equine game and I was hoping this would quench my thirst I remember the hype back in 2008 and as I made my way to midnight launch, I had visions of being the new Bob Champion or for the girls, Tatum'O Neil from International Velvet. I'll give my dignity the benefit of the doubt and call it a 2. 4 stars for achievement hunters, but for everyone else it's probably worth about 2.5. If you can find it in a bargain bin (which won't happen), it's an easy pickup. In all, the game doesn't suck, although it gets a bit repetitive. While mechanical bull riding and mazes sound fun, it was quite a bit of a chore. These were perhaps the one part of the game that was most frustrating. The other part of the game consists of "fungames" which, I found, were really not all that fun. Cross country is more jumping at faster speeds. Dressage requires you to move in certain patterns around the ring at particular speeds, as well as move your sticks in motions shown on the screen. The actual competitions consist of 3 parts: dressage, show jumping, and cross country. As mind-numbing as this might be, I have to admit that I actually learned a little bit about taking care of a horse (much to the amusement of my equestrian wife). This happens by cleaning and brushing your horse, feeding him, pulling rocks out of his hooves, etc. In addition to the obligatory practice sessions that help you learn the mechanics of the game, you need to make sure to take care of your horse as well. The only downside is that the difficulties don't stack you will have to play this through twice in order to finish the game. The difficulty of the game, even on Professional, is not much of a challenge. Play through the game and you'll get most of the achievements. The cheeves are, as expected, quite easy. Therefore if anyone in other regions can get a hold of this, it'll work in any 360. Theoretically it's supposed to be region-encoded, but for some reason never made it that far. The game is a rather obscure title that was only released in Europe. In fact, the more I played it, the more I seemed to find myself in a state of Zen horse riding.įor those of you looking for this game, it isn't easy to find. It certainly isn't stellar, and it's quite a bit repetitive, but not a complete waste of time by any stretch. On the other hand, the game isn't terrible. This morality tale exploring the complex relationship between a championship equestrian rider and her noble steed is but a springboard into the profound tale of how the pair must overcome adversity to save their family farm from foreclosure. AVOID!!Įasily one of the most infamous gamerwhore games of all time, My Horse And Me 2 is the delightful story of a girl and her horse. Is there a no star score? Truly the worst game i've ever played. This is one solely for the GS addicts - 1,000GS in about 6-8 hours! I'm 33, a GS addict and am completely indifferent to horses - i hated it too My daughter is 6 and likes horses - she hated it

On Amateur level the horse even jumps the fences by itself! There are achievements for completing on Amateur and Professional (which is incidently not difficult either) and these don't stack, which means after suffering it once, you then have to suffer it a 2nd time to claim all of the achievements (the games can largely be skipped the 2nd time around tho). The games and competitions themselves are also very repetitive and not difficult.
The phrases themselves are not very exciting anyway, but the repetition is truly horrible. The sound is annoying and repetitive, the commentator has two stock phrases that are repeated ad nauseum. The horse does actually look at bit like a horse, but the people are much less convincing, the graphics look like they came from the early days of N64 rather than using the might of a 360.
That said this is a truly terrible game in every respect. The best i could come up with was that by hitting start the cutscenes can be skipped and the 1000GS is very easy to get. I always like to start a review with something positive about the game, however this one left me struggling a bit.
