It is true that there are some gameplay redundancies and a healthy amount of character interaction issues, but will a kid point to mommy and say “look at all of the clipping issues!”, or “look at all of the horseys!”?

Gamestyle

The game features enough levels and unlockable extras to keep the player engrossed for a long time; so Barbie and horse fans alike - male and female, young and old - will all get something out of this.

Riding feels "real"... In short, Barbie's first foray onto Xbox is not a stinker. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.100]

I couldn't bring myself to dislike this game, and even had more fun with it than certain other Xbox games of the recent past. And if I liked it, even a little bit, who knows if it won't be an even bigger hit with the people it was meant for?

If you want to buy a game for a young girl and she's nuts for Barbie, and I mean absolutely nuts, then this might be a way to keep her quiet for a few hours.

Okay, I know what many of you are sitting there reading this wondering. Why would an adult male play a game like this? Well I did it for you!

I am totally loving the game! I mean, alright, you can't buck barbie off the horse, but other than that the game is awsome! My best friend and I love horses (And MABEY we like barbie just a little...) so when we saw this game we just knew we had to have it! I so love this game! The grafics are great! Everyone, young and old, can accually feel as if they own a horse with this game. My friend and I used to play with toy horses when we were younger, but now we've grown out of it (But not too much!) so we've turned to simulated horse games, and we couldn't be happy'er! We've been sending in some ideas to the makers for a new game like this, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that they exept! Horses biggest fan, Laura!

My four year old loves it and has learned how to use the controls very well. It is the best game for little ones that I could find.

Helooo! Barbie? Horses? Can you say Game of the year? I thought you could. I may be a 35 year old male who collects victorian doll houses but I know good gaming when I see it. Me and my Marie Osmond collection dolls will spend many hours rescuing ponies. Thanks for making this game!!!

It is alright, but it is a short game. It is fun for people who like horses! You have to rescue all the foals before you can go to the final level!
