Some time ago, we had reported about a game related to horses, G1 Jockey for the Nintendo Wii. Now Atari has joined the race by announcing a horseback riding and equestrian lifestyle video game, which is called as My Horse and Me. It features accurate horse models against a beautiful backdrop of charming indoor and outdoor environments.
My Horse and Me Overview:
My Horse and Me has a rich variety of game play modes and options to give gamers a deep and rewarding experience. The Championship mode lets the gamer take part in competitions at indoor and outdoor locations around the globe ranging from rustic stables and classical riding schools to world-class tournament locations. A series of fun mini-games offer a variety of game play experiences alongside rewarding horse care game play and wide-ranging customization.
Emily Anadu, Senior Product Manager, Atari explains, “We are looking forward to providing the horse-enthusiast community with a rich and genuine game that allows gamers to take care of and compete in a variety of challenges with their horse. The game’s characteristic and charming depiction of these noble animals is sure to win the hearts of horse devotees.”
My Horse and Me is being developed by W!Games for Wii and PC and by Mistic for the Nintendo DS. The game is expected to release in Fall 2007. My Horse and Me has been licensed by the Federation Equestre Internationale FEI (International Equestrian Federation). It seems that everyone wants to horse around with a video game!
