Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride

This PC game is available on Old Games Download for free.

My game time: 1 hour, completed the story.


Info:

"Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride: the plot involves Barbie having to solve the mystery of the missing horse. To do so, the player has to explore the countryside while solving small puzzles and tasks." (Old Games Download).

It's basically just following paths and doing different kinds of tasks on the way. When finishing the storyline, we get a foal in return for our favors. As with the horse, we can only brush and feed the foal. So there's really not much to do to interact with the horses. When you've finished the story, you can train your skills on jumping, herding, and with a slingshot. Oh, and you can change your clothes in the fitting room.

Gameplay screenshots:

You can edit your horse to look different whenever you want. Also here you can take care of it: feed and brush.

The guests involve a lot of riding, but you can't do all the tasks mounted.

You can explore the paths.

Herding animals.

The storyline is not too repetitive, there's a variety of different kinds of tasks, like riding with another person.

Jumping training.

The ranch.

After you finish the story, you can explore all the paths and places you've opened.

Slingshot training.

The foal really doesn't have anything to do with the game, but it's still a fun addition.


Is it worth playing?
It's great fun for kids, but at an older age, I wouldn't say so. Like said the game is quickly over and then there's nothing to do. Still a fun little game with an average storyline, but it's missing the reason to keep playing longer.
