(More customer reviews)This game amazed me from the start, this is probably one of the best horse riding sims I have played and I have played most if not all of them!
A warning this game is VERY technical with the controls of the horse, younger children may have a tough time using them. The controls are very in depth, when approaching a jump you have to adjust your horses stride so they take-off at the best point or they may refuse or knock a rail. You also have to keep the rider's balance over the fence, lean forward at the take-off and lean back when landing or you may fall off or impair your horses speed after landing. The steering took a bit of getting used to, it's not just steer right or left, the horse follows a curved path depending on how hard you steer left or right.
There are three different events you can play; Dressage, Cross Country and Show Jumping. In careeer mode you can focus on one event or all three. The dressage controls are also very technical you use the four arrow keys and have to hit certain keys for a certain length of time as a pattern shows you. This is pretty difficult but keeps you busy!
You can choose between different horses to become your "partner" and each one has different charicteristics. Some horses get excited approaching fences and will rush the jump while other will get nervous and back-off when approaching a fence.
The graphics are beautiful! Some of the best I've seen and gameplay is very smooth. I have only played through a few events but from what I have seen this game is one of the best!
