There is a charm about the game, though - it feels reminiscent of the feel-good Saturday morning cartoons of the 90s. The visuals, animations, and mechanics are lacking - to say the least. There are some saving graces to Petz: Horsez 2 from being a god-awful game. As an adult looking for a decent video game - Petz: Horsez 2 is a hard pill to swallow.
Again, as long as you can play around with horses - not much else matters. Even more, so that they feel really awkward. There are mini-games to enjoy but seem a bit redundant with no reason to actually do them. It's unbelievably clunky to control, but it gets the job done for the target market. Players will be racing, maintaining, and raising their horses to save your ranch from evil-doers. Inside that storyline, you'll assume the role of a horserider named Lily. The narrative is quite rich, touching on every horse fanatical dream of championing the local equestrian populace.
So what are the redeeming features for the kids? As an adult, you'll spend time moaning about controlling your characters, the choppy animations, and uninspired backdrops. Honestly, that drag and grumble sort of sets the tone for the entire game. Even naming your horse, in the beginning, requires monumental effort to sift through the letters to complete your name. The first universal complaint, regardless of age, is the control schematic. Does Petz: Horsez 2 allow kids to fulfill their dreams through a playable medium? They are here to play with the pretty horses and fantasize about running a stable. They would be less inclined to complain about a gameplay experience. Straight from the Horses Mouthīefore we begin shredding this game to pieces, one must remember that the target market is young children. Once again - expectations are low, but it's interesting to see how this plays out. The whole aura as an adult behind this concept is intriguing, to say the least. There must be enough demand following the first release - or at least enough of a market - to carry on with this mysterious horse simulator. You get the feeling that this might set the expectations for Petz: Horsez 2 - or the lack of them.įrom another perspective - this is the second addition to the franchise. It's made worse by the idea that you're not sure whether this ironic, trying to be cute, or just plain incompetent. There's always a little bit of concern when you're about to play a game that can't spell its title correctly.
