The successor to the official FEI game "My Horse and Me" ... yes, the expectations that I had, have not been fulfilled ... unfortunately.
"Liked" Initially what me:
+ Extension of the disciplines dressage and cross-country to
+ Story available
+ Playable on Vista machines
The less convincing features:
- Quickly played Story
- No free capacity - Story does not change, but always in motion - no matter what you do ...
- Graphics unconvincing
- The main character does not find me any sympathy, the other actors, unfortunately,
- Horse animated inadequate and poorly
- No possibility of new items to purchase as needed ... only if you have got a job, you automatically unlock a new item
- Objects (saddles, etc.) in unrealitischen colors (Pink / Pink) and interact with the Blümchen- and Butterfly adornments childish
- Places only nimimal different
- Horse is exposed to exertion when riding - loses neither strength nor endurance -> more than unrealitisch
- No cross-country jumping and realistic - horse jumps automatically (which is not necessarily bad ...), jeodch of every situation, so that there is no jumping faults
In conclusion it is possible the game recommenders only conditionally.
Who is not challenged by the lack of story, and wants the weak graphics, which was a lot better in the first part of FEI series accept, can this game that after a few Begin to play loses the appeal, since it is always the same, what one does find quite acceptable and satisfactory.
Short-piece it is somehow not, because you always have to start a new career ... times to ride a fast tournament - having to maintain without all the "training-nonsense" and the horse - is unfortunately not possible.
If that match the money paid is worth, can acquire a nice game, but you have to pay this "gameplay" the requirements that other horse games have now created and placed in the high range, scale down a bit.
