4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most!, March 4, 2009

This review is from: Petz Horse Club (DVD-ROM)

I probably own most horse games that are out there and to be honest don't get my hopes up too much when ordering any because of the quality of other games I brought, but I was pleasantly surprised with this game.

Here's what is good about the game:-
1.The graphics are better than most games I have encountered. The horses look and move pretty realistically.
2.I love that you can do your own thing if you want and ignore the present task, no clock counting you down
3.You can befriend any wild mustang and bring them back to the ranch
4.You can breed your own foal, choosing different parents creates a different looking foal and you can tweak some of its features before it's born.
5.All the horses you breed or bring home remain in the game - you can interact, groom and ride any of them
6.The competitions are also realistic and not too difficult (Cross Country/Show Jumping and Steeplechase) and you have to warm the horse up beforehand

Here's what's not so good
1.Most of the tasks involve riding to a location (and back) so a lot of time does seem to be spent just riding and as there are only about 6 different locations I can imagine this will get a bit annoying after a while
2.Like most horse games the grooming aspect does become a bit tiresome after a while and this one is no different. The process to 'befriend' a horse is a bit repetitive as well
3.Loading time in between competitions and locations

On the whole I like this game so far, definitely playable for most ages as the controls are pretty easy, I think I'm going to be playing it for a while yet.

This game had me playing for hours on end, and there is so much to do! The graphics were beautiful, and the game was easy to understand, but it wasn't too easy. I am very critical when it comes to horsey games, and I say buy it!!! You will not be disappointed!

Hey! I'm using my dads' account.
Petz Horse Club is where you have ti save the mustangs from a dangerous plant effecting the horses. It's called, ''Black Clover''.
In the story you meet quite a few of the other characters in Petz Horsez 2 for PS2. Overall, it's preety fun. I'm reallly ejoying it! The mini-games are easy and others are a bit challenging. It's a very good story and there's not anything that parents would find innapropiate. But read before you buy:
This aspect of ''taming horses'' in the wild isn't for kids to just believe in. It's not reality and make sure your kid understands this before playing! Here's pros and cons:
PROS:
The graphics are excellent even sometimes it might act choppy. Maybe if you have an old computer it will act choppy.
You can tame different types of horses in diff. secctions.
CONS:
If the game acts choppy, you may need a video card! Their easy to install and make all your other pc games work WAAAAY better! You can find them at a Computer Store.
Overall, it's fun! Buy now:)
