The controls are simple and easy to learn, but you have to at the competitions (especially in terms of time) make an effort to reach the top spot. There are three races that we (though few) can individualize different coat colors and markings on the head and legs through at the beginning. At competitions are available: jumping, terrain, dressage and eventing. The competitions are very nicely done, I think it's just a shame that the "stretching" of jumping, terrain and dressage at the eventing tournament are exactly the same. But that is to get over, because there is still more "stages" of contests that you can climb. To unlock such a level, you have to complete a jump and a dressage training. Confidence and health of the horse can be relatively good hold up, since one has to some options. When trust is eg stroking in the pasture and in the health mucking out the box. These things are well done and not take zuu long, so you will get bored of it. There is also a change as I said, so you do not always makes only the same things. To equip horse and rider, there is a shop where you can find a pretty good selection of things to satisfy his personal taste.
A very special highlight of the game is that you can do rides with his horse. I've seen so far in the form only in "Barbie Magic horse world". There are four different landscapes, through which one can ride and each have different tasks (seeking medicinal herbs, photographing a deer), which will loosen up a bit the whole.
What many now perhaps is still interested sure the graphics. I would say that the graphics are not as "approximately" as in more modern games, ie acts partly somewhat edgy. The movement of the horse is particularly very angular step. The scenery is beautifully designed and the horse also looks very good. The rider is quite wooden, but that does not particularly bother me, because mainly I am playing for the horses and not for the rider.
Therefore, I forgive full 5 stars on Horse Life and would highly recommend it.
