![]() Needless to say, brushing a traditional plastic pony with an actual brush is a far better and probably cheaper simulation. So what is My Horse & Me? It is a crude horse-riding game supported by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports. While FEI governs a variety of equestrian events, My Horse & Me forgoes all but one: show jumping. In show jumping, horse and rider must complete an obstacle course consisting of fences to be jumped in a precise order as quickly as possible. My Horse & Me recreates this event, often involving complex course layouts. Players will wind up gluing their eyes to a white line delineating the correct path through the hurdles. Just to make things annoying, this line fades in and out of view. Veering from the outlined path would be encouraged to shave seconds, except that it is far too easy to become lost and the time needed for gold is usually cake. Nearly everything gives you an achievement, and the game is so quick to get through, you can get all of them with just two playthroughs.Players control their horse with a Remote and Nunchuk as a substitution for reins.ĭoing well unlocks more difficult courses and more worthless clothing. If gathering achievements is your only gaming goal you’ll be delighted by the plentiful achievements available in the game. More challenging courses, different aspects of horse care, or the actual need for skill could have improved this game. While this is essentially horse care in real life too, there’s plenty of ways to make it more enjoyable. It’s an endless cycle of caring for your horses and then taking them out on similar courses to do similar jumps only to go back and repeat again. The game is also fairly repetitive, with nothing surprising or engaging to keep things going. All you have to do is point the horse in the correct direction. On the easiest level, the horse even jumps for you. The game gives you some basic care chores for horses, such as grooming, and allows you to ride your horse on various challenge levels. Unfortunately, even a 7 year old would get bored of the content relatively quickly. This is a sweet story appropriate for the age range this is probably meant for-perhaps 7-8 year olds. The only way to do this is to become a champion jockey and use your prize money to fix it up. In the game, you move to your Uncle’s farm with the task of restoring it. To its credit, My Horse & Me 2 does have a somewhat developed storyline. Despite being well over a decade older, the graphics in that game are visibly superior, as well as pretty much everything else in the game. This is especially shoddy when you compare it to games like Mary King’s Riding Star, which came out in 1999. ![]()
