    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!”?

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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!

I got hooked up on it, missed 2 yearsOkay, so I bought this game for my neighbour's daughter and I just wanted to try and see if it works. I got hooked up on it, missed 2 years of college, few funerals, births and Champions League finals and I don't even care. Those horses are so damn cute, I just wanna sunggle with'em. Definitely better than Black Ops 2, I reccomend this to all hardcore gamers. THEHOOD!… Expand

    I am surprised that everybody here is defending a game that has been called one of the worst games ever but I'm more surprised that most I am surprised that everybody here is defending a game that has been called one of the worst games ever but I'm more surprised that most girl gamers are commenting on the Xbox version seen as the main Xbox game is Halo. I know most girl gamers who'd rather play Zelda or Final Fantasy, but if any of you don't want to play an RPG than you may be better off with Metroid Prime or Tomb Raider, however I play those games a lot as well so if you don't want a guy game then you may as well get this Barbie game that came from the tenth level of Hell, after that you should get your head examined.… Expand
