  A real challange and very satisfying after playing all of the lousy games out there... Go buy this!

  by Eriskay on January 17, 2008

  Pros: Riding the different courses, the horses and the way they move, the storyline, the locations, the characters... Almost everything. :)

  Cons: People don't walk in a very realistic way, but they don't do that in ANY horse games. Also, the texting is wrong sometimes but you can live with that - it's just small things.

  Summary: Well, this is the greatest horse game I've played so far (and that's kind of saying something ^^). I used to think that "Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance" ...

  Summary: Well, this is the greatest horse game I've played so far (and that's kind of saying something ^^). I used to think that "Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance" was the best, but this one has taken my numer one spot. You really feel like a part of the academy you're training at, the characters are good and the storyline is good enough. Making your own schedule every day is extremely satisfying.
  
  So. You play this girl who loves horses and starts riding at this academy. You get to know your fellow students and everything is going great, but something is wrong. Go play the game and find out what.
  
  You know how horse games can be all corny and have bad graphics and just suck in general? This one is good. (Although it's still the slightest but corny, but I don't think there's any escaping that with horse games...) The graphics might not be the stuff that you see in the latest action games and such, but it is really good for being a horse game. The character's lips don't move when they speak speak though, but that's not a big deal - I got used to it immediately.
  
  This game is a challange. When you reach the harder courses you've really got to make an effort all the time. I had a hard time in showjumping, but I got it in the end. Advice: save the game every time you're happy with something. That way you don't have to go back and redo several things if you wish to go back and redo the last thing. (With "go back" I refer to exiting the game and reloading it from the menu without saving.)
  
  Well, I think that's that. This is seriously one of the BEST horse games out there. If you love horses you'll love this. I promise.
