Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Make sure your computer can handle this game.
Review: Tried this game on different computers and it was a horror. The voices constantly repeated themselves. It ran slow. Tried downloading the patch and still no good. Frustrating to my grandaughter. Jane

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing.
Review: Well, I must say I was very impressed with the graphics and plot. I've played other horse games before and they are very easy, boring, and sometimes constricting(you can't go certain places, ect).

In this game you get to travel around on horseback through a masterfully built 3D world solving a mystery. The game even has cows, mice, seagulls, ducks, other horses, and sheep, that move-not to mention the giant cow that wanders around in circles in the montains to the west of the mine. The weather can change from day to day from rain to sun or change during a day. There are over 13 different places to explore, three different enviornmnets, and over 30 characters to meet and interact with.

This is the first game(besides Drakan) that I've ever played that really worked hard on the enviornment, and contianed some sense of physics.

The plot is also interesting, and you don't just zip right through it in a few hours-it takes days(weeks for me, actually XD)

My only regrets are the grooming, feeding, and cleaning you must do every game-day, which can get awefully repetitive after awhile, and the fact that there are a few times when you get stuck, and have trouble solving a clue(for me, trying to find that golden object at the castle, finding the clue at the shipwrek, and getting that key in the church). Other than that, I think this is a great game.

And, I would also like to ask if anyone knows what you do once you find the key in the door at the church(for the third part of the mystery)? I've been stuck there for awhile. I've tried giving it to Bruce, opening the little box, sleeping then going back, everything, but I just can't figure it out. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me with that.
