Product Description

Amazon.com Review

One of the rare Xbox games aimed at young girls, Wild Horse Rescue offers the irresistible combination of Barbie, horses, and dress-up--who could resist? Barbie and her friends arrive at Silver Valley Stables for some R&R only to find that a storm has set the horses free and it's up to Barbie to bring them back safely. Barbie sets off on 10 different trails (forest, snowy mountains, coast), crossing rivers, avoiding bears and skunks, and dodging branches and rolling logs that might knock her off her horse. She also saves foals, solves puzzles, races her friends, and collects coins and other items that can unlock new outfits! If this all sounds a bit too precious for words, it is, but bear in mind that the aforementioned target audience will get less pleasure from the on-trail quest than from changing Barbie's and her horse's outfits before each ride. (You can also change the horse's color, mane, tail, etc.) The music is soft, the sun glistening on the water is beautiful, and the game is about as gentle as could be. --David Horiuchi

Pros:

  • A rare Xbox game with young girls in mind.
  • Not violent, and minimal peril
  • Outfits, outfits, outfits!

Cons

  • Younger players will find it hard to maneuver the horse, especially backwards
  • Male observers might be driven screaming from the room during the umpteenth outfit change

A good game for girls November 11, 2003
This game is a great game for young girls. I got it for my daughter on PS2. She's ten and loved it. The story is basic, you have to rescue missing baby horses, but there are hidden coins and presents that let you unlock new outfits for Barbie and customize her horse. A couple of the puzzles were a little challenging, but nothing she couldn't figure out. It was fun for her to jump things and race her friends. Probably my biggest complaint is that controlling the horse takes a little to get the hang of, but after some practice, it became no problem. I recommend this game for any little girl who loves horses like my daughter. She and her brother had fun challenging each other with the multiplayer, too. It's not violent or dark and scary, just a fun and engaging adventure.

Every little girl dreams of owning a horse and this is a great game to play that you do. It is a great game it is a lot of fun. You track down wild mustangs (not the car) and try and help them to get to a save area. This is a very simple game, but kept me wanting to play for a long while! You can change clothing, and the look of your horse! This game is a lot of fun!
GREAT FOR THE FAMILY!!

A Kid's Review
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
This game. Oh my. I loved this game to death, playing it every single day, i got snagged on the second-to-last level, ripped the snag, and got to the end. Then, the problems showed up. I found the secret level, but the door was closed and i had to go through every stinking level again to get every coin. Im still working on it. It was fun at first, but now, it's just plain HARD, for me, a 10-year-old.

Great game for little girls
I had to search high and low to find this at a good price. Xbox did not make many of them because they did not believe it would be a big seller like some of their other games... Read more

If Only Barbie Weren't Involved...

Barbie Horse Adventrues
This game is sort of boring ecspecaily rescueing all the foals. Its fun to lasso the lost horses. Barbie is a little like a dare- devel when she races her horse on frozen rivers. Read more

Barbie's so blonde...
...she does silly things like race her horse on a frozen river. Running on ice is fun, I guess, if you're a blonde. And she wears her show attire everywhere. Read more
