...well not exactly. Barbie Horse Adventures was developed by Mobius Entertainment (with Blitz Games) for Vivendi, solely because my daughter is such a big Barbie fan (I was Art Director for the game). As a five year old, she is at the bottom end of the recommended age range, but was consulted at every stage of the development to check that the game would live up to her high standards. Vivendi Universal used focus groups of girls to check playability, and Mattel ensured that the game was sympathetic to the toys.

This game is challenging on all levels and, in my humble opinion gives great value for money with a large main game based on showjumping and exploration skills, four great one or two-player minigames to be found and a unique horse sponsorship section, which contains fun horse facts to be learned. What other game could tell you the name of the largest horse in the world, or what a red ribbon tied into a horse's tail means?

Please note, the above Amazon Editorial Reviews refer to the PS2 game Wild Horse Rescue by Blitz Games (which I would also highly recommend).

This is a great game!

This game is a lot of fun for girls ages 7-11.It has 8 exciting
levels of play.I bought this game at ToysRUs on 6-26-04.I have been at it ever snice I got it.Need a gameboy advance game for
a girl 7-11?Try Barbie Horse Adventures:Blue Ribbon Race!
I think that a girl over 11 would loose interest VERY quickly!

I bought the game for my 6 1/2 year old granddaughters--they loved it except for the last race. It must be completed in 3 minutes and although they were doing everything right and doing it as fast as they could, the best time they could achieve was 3:21 min. Both became frustrated and haven't touched the game in 3 months. They found Nemo a much better challenge and the excitement when they completed the game was well worth the price.

IT'S TOO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The game is not fun at all, It's impossible to control Barbie and her horse,the first level is sooooo easy, I don't think that you can make the level without winning 1st place. Anyway the next level is ok, the 3rd level gets harder,but the 4th race is very difficult it's impossible to control her. But the worst things are that you don't have enpugh time, barbie never goes into the direction you tell her to go, and if you wanna jump over something you have to hold on to the control pat and press B at the same time.

P.S.: WARNING: Don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!!

I got this game for christmas. Barbie is a very SLOW walker. It also gets annoying when you have to lead the horse over the bridge. I like desinging your own horse too. The last trail is the best because you don't have to lead the horse at all. It is hard to beat though. Younger horse lovers would love this an older girl might get annoyed by it. This is a good game boy game.

It is really fun and neat. I like winning - it's easy but not too easy. I finished it in one day. The music and pictures are pretty. I like it very much.

Dim and Slow

I bought this game for my 5 1/2 year old daughter. First thing she noticed was it was a bit slow, even while running. I noticed the game was poorly lit. Between these two misfortunes, it doesn't matter how good the game is! We will be returning this.

best game
