My Horse and Me 2 - DS/DSi

Galloping forward from the success of the first My Horse and Me game, the sequel gives players another chance to see whether they can cut it on the equestrian circuit, not to mention form that crucial bond between horse and rider.

Players take on the role of Emma. She's self-confident, headstrong, impulsive and has never really been tested. When she turns up on her uncle's farm, however, she'll have to find out if she's really got what it takes to back up her bravado. It's been a few seasons since any of her uncle's horses have won and to make matters worse, some of the horses are falling sick. Emma realises that the only way to drum up the cash needed to save her uncle's farm is to win the final competition in Kentucky. But has she got the chops?

It's not as simple as jumping straight into a race, either. Players will need to care for their horse by cleaning and feeding it, not to mention paying attention to it with extensive grooming and vet checks. Developing the bond between horse and rider is crucial to making it to the top.

Once you do hit the race course, however, you'll have access to some of the most prestigious tracks around the world thanks to the My Horse and Me franchise having the exclusive rights to the Fédération Equestre Internationale license.

If all that's not enough, you'll be able to get involved with your friends thanks to the game's multi-player options. more
