Game Description

Several horses have disappeared from a local stable, and it's up to Barbie and her friends to find them in Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Race. Players will guide Barbie through a 3D horse-riding extravaganza across five areas. Barbie has to be a careful rider, however, because fallen trees, fragile bridges, rivers, cliffs, and an assortment of tricky terrain awaits. At certain times, Barbie will have to dismount and lead her steed through particularly strenuous areas.

Reviews

The game has been heavily criticized by the gaming press. X-Play dubbed it a Game You Should Never Buy[1] next to Monster Garage: The Game and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. In the episode, X-Play co-host Morgan Webb called Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue the worst game ever made, and continues to reference it so in ongoing episodes after giving the terrible review of having a 1 out of 5. IGN gave it a 4/10 rating, and XGP Gaming rating it a 4 out of 10.

Decent reviews, which mainly point out that the game was being geared towards children, were given out by TeamXbox (3.8/5) and the British Official Xbox Magazine (6.7/10.)

Xbox 360 compatibility

The Xbox version (and by extension, Xbox creator Microsoft) have been ridiculed for being a rare game that is forward-compatible to the Xbox 360,[2] whilst some of the more popular Xbox games remain unplayable on the newer console. It is viewed as a minor licensed title which has little appeal outside of its niche market. However, it's been reported that the forwards compatibility of the game on the Xbox 360 was a side effect of emulation of a different game.[citation needed]
