5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   June 14, 2009

This game is absoluately awesome! I am an adult addicted to horse games, I have most pc and ds lite horse games out there. I debated about whether or not to buy a barbie game because I thought it would be childish, but its not childish at all! I have to say this one rates really high! The graphics are incredible and the whole game itself is one of the best I've played. There is so much to do, no parts of it get boring. This is the first horse game I've owned where the horses can actually swim and move realistically! Once I finished the game I just had to start it all over again, its hours and days of entertainment. I have to say that I could not install the game at first, but when I installed it into My Documents instead of Programs it worked perfectly. I sincerely hope they make more of these games!


5 out of 5 stars Great for horse-crazy girls and island-loving grown-ups. Fun and relaxing!   September 19, 2009

I got this game for my horse-crazy 5-year old. She needs some help with the game, but even so she loves it and the realistic horse views. It plays OK on my computer, with an occasional crash. For myself as a grown-up struggling with physical disability, I find this game extremely fun and relaxing, and I often play it after everyone goes to bed. I love riding the horse along the beach, and the scenery, sunsets, and stars at night are beautiful. If you want to stay out all night (in game time), looking at the sunset and stars, just don't answer the cell phone with Kyle calling. It is amazing how diverse the island is. We love going over to the waterfall, and riding down below it, following the river out to the ocean. There is just so much to do besides the challenges and tasks. We like that we can each have our own game and progress within the game saved.

The directions are too brief, and I had to figure a lot of things out through trial and error. My 5-year old, however, helped me with the jumps, using the space bar. I have expensive Wild Divine games, which were my favorite, but this game is almost as nice at little cost. I love the freedom in traveling and exploring the island. It's a great game for a horse-crazy girl and an island-loving woman with freedom of exploration. It reminds me of the San Juan Islands outside Washington state.

embark on an amazing riding adventure train, race, and jump your horse as you compete in time trials, and explore the countryside at riding camp, the fun never stops, so saddle up.


5 out of 5 stars Huge game   May 17, 2010

I got this barbie game for my girl in first grade. She has absolutely had a ball with it.
The game world is so huge, i never expected anything like this for a simple barbie game. Basically you control a barbie and ride around on a horse with it. you compete in events to get ribbons, and when you have enough you unlock another horse. You take care of your horse by feed and brushing,etc... You can go around the game world getting quests and collecting stuff. My girls invested atleast 20-30 hours into this game. The graphics are quite nice for a barbie game as well.
One thing my girl didnt like was the competition to get ribbons were only her own horse. There was no computer to compete against. Also some reviewers have reported problems with crashing/glitches, i dont believe ours ever has had these problems, as i never heard my girl complaining about that.
Overall this is definitely a barbie game that gives you best bang for buck(more hours to play) and has great enjoyability for the kids.




4 out of 5 stars Great game   September 27, 2009

when i bought this game, i was really excited.
What i liked about this game is that if you bump into stuff, or miss a jump, the horse doesn't completely collapse. I also like the tasks and the theme of the game (camp recovering from storm and you help people).
The tasks never got boring for me, and it shows you where you need to go to do what in each task. It shows ou wher the items you need to find are, and where to go next.
I also like how it doesn't make you do tasks.
THere are different competitions you can enter (against yourself :/) and you can earn ribbons and camp credits from them. ribbons allow you to unlock different horses.

The things im not crazy about in this game are that after the graduation, ther are no more tasks and you can't do much to earn camp credits. You also only have 5 horses and there isnt much that you can do to take care of and interact with them (though this makes it easier about the grooming obsession most games have.) I also wish that you could interact with other campers besides teresa (teresa doesn't do much anyway).

Overll this is an excellent game and i would suggest it to all horse game lovers.
