Don't buy this game!

What can I say about this game............well I can start out by saying that it is a rip-off. I think a game like this is worth only $5 instead of $20! This is because like all the other Let's Ride games, the advertisements exagerate WAY TOO MUCH! Let's see....on the add it says: "Meet your horse's every need. Learn your way around the stable as you groom, feed, and spoil your new best friend." Let me tell ya, the only thing you can do to care for your horse is to groom it and feed it an apple. THAT'S IT. Hmmmm...."Practice hard to make it to the toughest competitions and win the title of National Champion" Well I guess that's the most rip-off part of the game is that there is only 12 competitions (which were really easy, even for an English-riding 13 year old) and then you are done with the game! Oh, and then you can ride in 10 little courses in the pasture. I have to admit the riding is kindov cool (that's why I gave the game a 2 star fun rating) BUT THAT'S IT. That's all you can do in this game. I bought this game, brought it home, played for 20 minutes, and had gotten done with everything. EVERYTHING. And I had never even played any kind of western riding game before! And this game only comes with 1 game, unlike the other Let's Ride! games. Speaking of the other Let's Ride games, I would recommend you buy one of those instead of this. I have both and you know what? They both each have 3 games inside them and THEY ARE THE SAME PRICE AS THIS RIP-OFF GAME!!!!! AND those games are fun as well as challenging. SO in conclusion, don't buy this game, go and get a good deal out of Let's Ride! The Rosemond Hill Collection OR Let's Ride! Champions Collection.

A Good Game...but not a lot to do

This game is pretty fun. You can pick your rider's clothes and hair and your horse's coat, mane, saddle and pad. You can also name the rider and horse.
You can ride in the practice corral (which is totally easy and you can be a pro once you play it a few times), ride in a pasture (this is not quite so easy, you have to finish the courses within a few seconds. I'm not even past the second one yet!) Then you can ride in a competition. In the practice corral and pasture, there are arrows in the ground to follow, and in the competition there aren't any arrows, but there's a path that you follow and it's very easy--easy enough that the first few competitions I was in I won first and second place. The pictures and awards you got you can view them in the Scrapbook and print them out. There isn't a lot to do, but still I find this game fun.

A Really Great Game!

I really love this game! It's a lot of fun, even though there are only three games. The pasture game is hard and me and my sister haven't gotten past the second course yet.
When you first get in, you can pick your rider's hair, clothes and name her. Then you can also pick what your horse's coat, mane, saddle, saddle pad and name it. Then you can practice riding, be in competitions, and ride in the pasture. Then pictures of you and your horse are saved in the Scrapbook and you can print them out. It's a really cool game.

Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's super easy!

First off, I have to agree with the first review. It really did suck. The most fun I had was with my first horse, Jupiter (Appaloosa), but that's about it. The races are so simple. I thought you could just walk and just ride around too. Nope. You have to practice or compete. Sucky! Once you get the hang of the competion, it's a snap. Once you finsh that 1st horse, it's a snap. Buy a better horse racing game.

Are They Serious? "Let's Ride" Should Stick to Jumping!

This game is SUPER easy! I finished EVERY SINGLE COMPETITION IN 10 MINUTES!!! There is nothing hard about this game! And the so called "challenges" are so easy, I bet my dog could do them in 5 minutes! Save your $20 people. Go get "The Legacy of Rosemond Hill" or "Saddle Up: Time to Ride" games for real challenges and a lot of fun. It was sort of fun seeing the replays of the competition, but still, THIS GAME IS SOOOOO EASY!!!

Kind of Boring...Don't Get Your Hopes Up

If you're really excited about getting this game, don't be so excited. I was super-excited that my sister bought this game. I thought there would be plenty to do. I found this out: There are only 5 things to do.

1: Practice

The barrels must be made out of Styrofoam! They fall over like an old piece of paper! The barrels are ALWAYS purple with a white stripe going around them. How annoying! And the arrows are annoying and the little "ding" sound they make can get annoying.

2: Competitions

There are only, let's see, a few of these competitions. There's Local, City, County, two State competitions, and two National competitions. I do not know a lot about horses but what I DO know is that on this game you can get a horse with a white coat and a red mane. Who ever heard of that? As I said before, the barrels still make them seem like they're made of Styrofoam.

3: Pasture

The most entertaining of all. The package makes the pasture game--and the entire game itself--seem SOOO great. It's not. There are these different "challenges" to do. Challenges? I don't think so. My two-year-old brother could finish these off. They're too easy.

4: Picking your rider

I'm including this last, but it's really the first thing you do. Change your rider's hair, shirt, hat, boots, pants, and that's it. The people are always white and their skin is really fair. What about for other people whose skin are different colors and they want their rider to look like them? And if they're galloping around in the sun all day knocking over Styrofoam barrels, they would be very tan.

5: Picking your horse, grooming your horse

Pick out of horse coat colors. The package says: "Style your horse's mane..." Style? More like choose. Pick your saddle pad, and the saddle.
Grooming the horses. Feed your horse an apple or carrot. The carrots look kind of stiff. Groom your horse and watch its repetitive actions: Whinny. Shake head. Stamp foot. Whinny. Shake head. Stamp foot. But something very interesting is how the horse sometimes turns into a zebra or gets giraffe-colored. Now that's interesting. Is it just my imagination, or does the zebra go faster than the regular horses?

That's all there is to do. If you are not expecting a lot you might like this game. It's just a computer game, I know, but they could make it a little more realistic. The replays are cool to watch and sometimes it's fun to make up your own routines, instead of theirs.

Also, on the cover of the package, they say something about "ride with your friends in a Western adventure!" It makes it seem like you can ride with people on the game. Do they mean your REAL friends, like actual people? Maybe so.

Overall, this is an OK game. If you don't have your hopes up, and you're not really expecting some great game, you'll be OK with this game. It's just your average horse game, but some other games are much better.

If you get this game, hope you like it more than I did.

PRETTY GREAT!

This game is pretty cool! It's fun and I've never experienced any "technical difficulties" with it.
If you play this game every single day, it might get a little bit boring. But it's still really fun!
In the many interesting courses around the pasture, you can beat the computer time and then your own record times, so it doesn't get boring.
And you can practice for competition in the practice ring, which is exactly like the competition ring. You have to beat the computer's top 18 scores to become national champion in the competition. When you win, fireworks go off and it's really cool.
This may not be the most realistic game in the world, but what do you expect? IT'S A GAME!
The only thing I didn't like was that the brushing and washing was kind of disappointingly unrealistic and boring, but that's not the focus of the game. The point of the game is to be out racing in the ring, not brushing a horse in the stable. Let it go! It's a minor detail.
A SUPER thing about this game is that you can piece together your rider, clothes and horse to build some super combinations! There are about ten different choices for each thing; the rider's hair color, hat, shirt, pants and boots can all be chosen from several choices. The horse's mane, tail, coloring, saddle and saddle pad can also be chosen from a huge variety.
You also get to TYPE IN your names for the horse and rider. No choosing from a list of boring names like "Apple" and "Sweetie." You could name your horse "Taco." You could name the rider "Idiot." It's YOUR CHOICE! That had bothered me about many horse games.
This is a pretty awesome game!

Great Game

This is a really awesome game! Okay. There might not be a lot to do, but everything still is fun. You can't jump, but barrel racing is pretty cool. Here are three things that you can do:
1. Practice Barrel Racing
2. Barrel Racing in Competitions
3. Barrel Racing in the Pasture.

Overall, this game is really cool and fun. And you can choose all sorts of stuff like the rider's hat, hair, shirt, pants and boots.
You can also choose your horse's coat, mane, saddle and pad. Plus, you can name the person and her horse.
It's really fun riding in competitions but my favorite is the Pasture. It's hard but fun.
You can also groom your horse and feed him apples and carrots. It's so cool!

If your looking for a fun horse CD (but with maybe not a lot of things to do), then this is the perfect game for you!
I hope you like this great game!

a wonderfull game!

I love this game because you get to barrel race that is so fun. I finshed all of the pasture games and now I am doing them again. I think I would like to collect all of the Let's Ride PC games!
