![]() ![]() The game's tutorial does an awful job of explaining this, telling you to ride at a certain speed without showing you how to properly adjust your speed. The developers half-heartedly address this by using A and B buttons as the proverbial gas and brake. Gestures used to speed up and slow down (pull back and shake three times, respectively) do not register as well as those for turning. You'll become disoriented after unsuccessfully attempting a jump or running into a wall, since the horse will change direction of its own accord, but that is probably true to real life. (The options menu accommodates players who prefer holding the Remote in their left hand.) The turning controls work decently after some practice, as long as you do not gesture abruptly, but your horse generally feels sluggish, with no sense of speed or agility. Pulling up with your right hand signals your horse to turn right pulling up with your left hand signals the horse to turn left. Players control their horse with a Remote and Nunchuk as a substitution for reins. Doing well unlocks more difficult courses and more worthless clothing. Veering from the outlined path would be encouraged to shave seconds, except that it is far too easy to become lost and the time needed for gold is usually cake. Just to make things annoying, this line fades in and out of view. Players will wind up gluing their eyes to a white line delineating the correct path through the hurdles. My Horse & Me recreates this event, often involving complex course layouts. In show jumping, horse and rider must complete an obstacle course consisting of fences to be jumped in a precise order as quickly as possible. While FEI governs a variety of equestrian events, My Horse & Me forgoes all but one: show jumping. So what is My Horse & Me? It is a crude horse-riding game supported by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports. Needless to say, brushing a traditional plastic pony with an actual brush is a far better and probably cheaper simulation. You will want to spend hours grooming your rigid, lifeless horse using a magically floating brush/hose Remote pointer icon-even though you (well, the model that represents you) remain stationary on screen, next to your horse. But customization is fairly pointless, as you'll see little more than the rears of you and your horse outside of the customization menu. In the same vein, you can change the color of your horse's coat, mane, and saddle. You can crudely customize how you look by selecting among five generic, blurry, character models and similarly uninteresting clothing (shirts, boots, hats, etc). In fact, you and your horse will not build any sort of relationship at all. Hopefully potential buyers will avoid the bait: My Horse & Me is a simple, rushed, and wholly uninspired game that fails to follow through on its promise of capturing the bond between horse and rider.īased on the title and point-of-purchase box art, one might expect My Horse & Me to be a pet simulator in the style of Nintendogs. The game greets its victims with a squeaky-clean photo of a tween girl hugging her horse-clearly this game is targeted at unsuspecting parents and horse-obsessed little girls. The other items are rewarded to you as you finish events in the competitions.My Horse & Me attempts to capitalize on the horse sense that many little girls (and probably some boys) are fond of, well, horses. So keep checking the free-roam area and behind the house for more stable/clothing items. It doesn't matter when you grab these because they stay there most of the time, but I recommend grabbing them right away as it could glitch and you wouldn't be able to get the achievement until your next play-through. More are unlocked after each competition/training is completed and they appear in the same area as the previous. The rest are behind the house, and in the free-roam area. One is inside your bedroom on the bed, and the other is hidden in the Labyrinth mini-game which I'll tell you about again later on in this guide. Note: There are collectibles in this game, they are all easy to spot, the only 2 that you possibly won't find are both semi-hidden. ![]() ![]() Some names you can choose are Starlight which is the default, Blue Jeans, Cupcake, or Steve. Once you choose a name, you have to choose a name for your horse. You can choose to name her Emma which is the default, or you can name her Commander Shepard. Start it on Amateur Difficulty, It will be asking for your name. Alright, so now you're going to start your new game. ![]()
