As a general consensus, yes, it's pretty mundane and not very rewarding. Not much else will happen except some cringing dialogue and secondary objective of collecting coins. You won't be wrestling them - but petting them, lassoing them, and guiding them back to the stables. The player will gather the horses and tame them into returning home. Throughout the game, you will guide Barbie on her horse through the colorful environments. A simple basis for the trivial execution of search and rescue mechanics. The story revolves around horses being scared by a recent lightning storm - and it's up to Barbie to bring them back to safety. Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse adventures adopt all those feats to tailor the game to its market. People judge the simplified mechanics and basic narrative against their complex ideals of a video game. This is a notion that seems to often forget. If you could rotate your camera, perhaps this issue wouldn't be as annoying.From a critical perspective, it's important to remember this game is made for children. Once that happens, your horse gets startled and it can take a handful of seconds to reorient yourself. In addition, while journeying across the island, your horse will often run into trees or rocks and the like. You typically collect nearby objects strewn about the forest and occasionally tackle a timed race and repeat. Arguably the biggest problem with Riding Camp is that it's a little repetitive. Couple this with the fact that the game is short (it will probably take kids four to six hours to beat) and you're getting a little less bang for your buck than you should. Because this game is so easy, kids are going to be able to beat it real fast. Riding Camp typically gives you 10 minutes to finish races, but most of them can be finished in a quarter of that time. The races require you to beat them under a time limit, but even then, you'll have more than enough time to spare. In short, this is a real relaxing experience for gamers. What that has to do with the equestrian sport beats me. When you're not on your horse, you can buy and put on clothes for Barbie. After a while, you'll get used to it, but it is a bit unconventional as far as racing games go. You simply need to tap a button for the horse to automatically start running. In addition, the controls are made a little more unintuitive because you don't hold down a button to move. It forces kids to strictly use the keyboard (the mouse doesn't do anything here).

Unfortunately, the PC version of the game does not support them. Riding Camp is best played with a controller. One thing that might annoy players are the controls. In addition, your mission objectives, notes, and options are all creatively implemented into the mobile device.īarbie meets race track. As you play the game, you will realize that your cell phone is rather helpful, in addition to the helpful map that it provides, it allows you to make calls to be transported back to the center of town.
Little boys will ask you to find their lost toys, or women may need you to help them fix the local race track. These missions are primarily fetch quests. All of these missions are highlighted on your handy dandy map, which is located on your cell phone. Throughout your journey as the famed blonde bombshell, you'll encounter several non-playable characters that have various missions for you. Any hoot, because of the storm, various things on the island need a fixing. The island is surrounded by pretty, blue water and filled with lush, green shrubbery. Your riding camp is situated on an island that was recently hit by a harsh storm, but you wouldn't guess it from roaming around the good-sized landscape. It's not a great game by any means, but it's definitely not a terrible purchase for young, little girls.īarbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp takes place, well, in a riding camp. I'm not sure what that has to do with me reviewing the game, but all I know is that upon booting up Riding Camp, I was pleasantly surprised by how decent this game was. However, my mom always told me to not judge a book by its cover. I've had to review several stinkers during my tenure here and when the IGN big wigs told me that I would be reviewing Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp, I admittedly sighed.
