4.0 out of 5 stars This is the best Horse Game I've ever played!, January 3, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Saddle Up: Time To Ride (CD-ROM)

Saddle Up is lots of fun. It's kind of sad that you can't keep on taking care of the horses after you finished Adventure like me. At least you can still ride in shows but the funny guy who talks in the back isn't there :( The wheel thing is really hard but here's the code because I couldn't solve it and had to cheat! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE GAME TO BE SPOILED! 7 clovers ,4 heart,9 diamond, 10 heart,10 spades, 2 clover and 7 diamonds. I got it now thanks to cheat.com and the people who post!;).The ending was really STUPID. Lucy(you) just reaches in and pulls out an ugly necklace. Then you're done! Graphics are the best I've seen. This game is better than all the other games I have: Horse Illustrated CHampion Season ( This is a pretty boring game) and Let's Ride Horse and Pony ( Never buy this one).
It was fun to solve the mystery( Stuff like catching the loose horse, talking to other riders, and going to the vet) The compotitions and challenges were really hard at first but you will LOVE them after you're use to them. You win a horse when you win a compotition. That's fun because you can choose and name it. I never take care of my horses when I go to shows, just the one or two horses I want to ride. It's not worth the time. I had alot of trouble with the shoes so my sister put this game on another computer and it works now. Matheui (Is this a French spelling of Matthew?) looks like and walks like a rubber figure sort of and his hair is all in his face in these long strands. Eww! Garance and Christobald (What knd of names is that?)both have t much hair in their eyes. It looks almost believable on Garance because she is a girl but Christo looks like he's wearing a hair mask on one side of his thin face. Akkico looked pretty good and Lucy walks like a snob (Also pretty slowly). This is a great game and you should totally get it if you love horses like crazy. I wouldn't recomend it for kids 9-? because the challenges can be really hard. Big Hint: This Game is NOT planned for boys! If you are a boy and want this game, be prepared to be playing as a girl!!!!Great Game. Buy Now!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS GAME ROCKS!!!, January 4, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Saddle Up: Time To Ride (CD-ROM)

I love this game! It is soooo cool! Right now I have 5 horses, 2 I'm borrowing and 3 I own. I can't get past this one competition though. I get so mad but I'm never going to give up! If your not sure to get this game, well I really hope this helps you decide because this game rules! The only thing I don't like is that you can't chose your horses, just name them! The first time I got it, I wasn't sure how to clean out the stall! If you have this game and are not sure how to do this, you must pick up all the poo and dirty straw, then a hay bale will pop up, you just get the clean straw from it by pressing it and holding it down. Then spread it around! I'm telling you, this game so rocks! Oh and when you get to barrow the 2 horses, they already have names!! You people who don't have this, well, you better get it if your horse-crazy like me!!! I personaly think this game is a lot better than Let's Ride:Champions Collection! Trust me, it is!!!

*Hey there, this game is great! Graphics are awesome even though at the last competition the graphics werent the best...it might be my computer...haha. Well i really liked this game since it gave me so much to do, and the whle mystery thing was great! I loved exploring everywhere, adn everything...even though i am 14-yrs old, i still enjoyed this game a lot!
The wheel challenege took me a while to figure out. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE GAME TO BE SPOILED, DO NOT READ THIS PART...
The trick to the wheel is simple... on every book/metal thing, there are 2 numbers and a title/name. The first number is the order in which they are put in the wheel thingy...and the second number is the number under the shape on the wheel...like 10 of clubs or 4 of hearts, you know. and the tricky part is the name, copy down the title/name and when you get to Christo's house, there is a hand...of cards, on his bed. There are names on the cards, match those and the shapes on the cards up with the names you copied down and presto! you have your code...i think you know the rest of it...I hope this has been helpful to the gamers...bottom line? This is an awesome game and you will NOT waste your money on this...*hint, hint* its $9.99 at Target! LoL l8r*
