#My horse and me 2 wii how to
The Championship is the game’s main mode where players start off by learning how to actually ride their horse properly (tilting the Nunchuk to steer left, Wii-mote to steer right, pulling both upwards towards your chest to stop and then proceed to gently walk back, hold A to trot slowly forwards and shake both controllers up and down like real reins to speed up to a canter – everything is very intuitive and shows of the motion controls perfectly). The game allows horse fanatics to live out their dream of entering into international competitions against other riders to eventually work their way up the leader-board and become the crème de la crème of the horsing world, then head back home, taking their steed back to the stable for some much needed care and attention.
The production values are clearly very high for this equestrian-related gaming product. All the while, peaceful, lilting melodies play throughout, complete with a considerable amount of speech at every turn. Lush fields, stacks of intricate detail and horses that are extremely well crafted models that look as realistic as possible all are present and correct in My Horse & Me. However, clearly the team’s make-up of experienced developers and fresh, young talent has set out to prove a point – that they mean business and are not so easily overwhelmed! And it all starts off so well, as on the presentational front the team has certainly not skimped on the details, with gorgeous locations that rank, you may be surprised to hear, amongst the best of the Third Party Wii titles so far.
It will also have put pressure on relatively new development house W!Games (founded in 2005) to create something extra special. Being the first game to ever be branded with the FEI license (the International Equestrian Federation – the acronym is based on its French name, for those wondering) certainly makes My Horse & Me special right out of the gates.
