Such a legendary game in many ways, I'm not really sure where to start. My Horse and Me 2 is quite famous among 360 fans for quite a number of reasons. First of all it got a pretty limited print, I have heard rumours of only 2000 printed in the UK, and it's only available in PAL territories. Secondly, it is an extremely easy 1000k, hence being attractive to achievement hunters. Finally, and probably as a result of the first two points, it is really quite expensive. So what do you do in the game? Well, the gameplay can be split into two section. One is where you spend your time walking around your farm, caring for your horse or trying some of the "fun" minigames. They game won't let you enter a competition unless your horse is in good condition, not that it seems to make any difference to your performance, so you need to play some boring mini games to get the horse ready. Once your horse is clean and fed, you can join a competition, which is the majority of the game. These competitions are basically one of 3 mini games, over and over again. There is dressage, in which you follow button prompts on a screen. Racing, where you run around a track. Finally, we have show jumping, where you time your jumps. That's about it. Really nothing of interest here. However, where this game excels is the horrible cutscenes and story. This is so bad its good kinda stuff. Awkward delivery, strange lines and weird script writing. Add an evil aunty who seems to disappear and a bit of cousinly incest, you are in for a treat. It's dreadful but worth it for the story, and yes I did complete it.
