I haven't played Dream Champion or Time to Ride 2, but of all the other horse games I've played (at least 12) this one is the best. The only complaints I have are that it takes a long time to train your horse to the top level and even then, sometimes you don't earn enough points for your horse to "learn" the advanced movements. Also, you don't get to pick your new horses. What I love about this game is the storyline is so much better than any other horse game I've played. The graphics are really great. Unlike most other horse games, you can change the hair and the outfit of your character. You can name your horses. There are lots of fun places to ride. Interacting with people in the town is so much fun! This is a great game. If you are going to buy only one horse game in your life, buy this one!
I absolutely loved playing this game. It is awesome that there is actually a storyline that is interesting and suspenseful (well sort of :)). The graphics are pretty good and you can turn the annoying music off (unlike other games.) The only thing I would change is to make it a little bit longer. I beat the game in a weekend, of course I was playing it all day for 2 days, but it still could have been longer. Also, my game would not let me do a collected canter (glitch?) but it didn't effect the game that much. Overall, this game was very entertaining and is highly recommended!
I've been playing horse games since I was very young and have played a large number of the ones that have come out, and this one is very near the top. The graphics are really just great, and the plot is pretty good. I have to say that the best thing about this game would have to be the competition. In every horse game, timing and competition varies greatly, and I have to say the timing in this game is easy and the dressage isn't as challenging (read: impossible) as it is in some games.
I haven't gotten very far in this game, but I will say that certain bits are very challenging. I think the game is overall very nicely done. The only real con is how long it takes to go anywhere. When you have limited time to play the game, it'll be very hard to get far. Once the horses have high enough stamina, you can just speed everywhere, but early in the game, it's very, very, very slow getting anywhere.
The competition is terrific (at least as far as I've gotten). The dressage is nice, the cross-country is okay (there are far better courses out there) and the show jumping is very nicely done, though there is very little variety in the jumps. The horses look very good and I like many of the little perks in the game. Overall, a very good choice for a horse game - if you can only buy one, I'd probably say get this one.
