Customer Reviews of Riding Academy: Jump & Ride
A Total Disappointment Do not buy this game. For ages 7 and younger it is simple and easy to use and would be fine to start off a youngster with horsey computer games, but overall it is repetitive and boring. If you really want a good horse game buy Saddle Up Time to Ride, Saddle Up with Pippa Funnell, All the Let's Ride! games are great, though I thought that the Let's Ride! Corral Club was more childish than the others. A good deal is the Let's Ride! Champions Collection which has 3 horse games. 2 of them being really good: Mary King's Riding Star, and Equestriad 2001.
Don't Waste Your Money
This game sucks, don't waste your money. Go buy Saddle Up: Time to Ride or any other LexisNumerique horse riding game.
Jump and ride a little behind the times.
Let's face it. Jump and Ride will never be on the same level as other equestrian games such as Equestriad or Let's Ride Rosemond Hill. I don't mean to say it's a bad choice. Five years ago there were no equestrian games save barbie (and this game has an eerie resemblence to the races in barbie). In the 21st century this game is slightly overmatched. The game's addictive but lacks some of the factors found in games in the Let's ride collection. For starters,there are only six horses which differ slightly in characteristics. Play is easy until you move to the normal level. here you have to hit "/" rhythmically (whatever that means) until your arms fall off. in hard you hit "/" and ".", and in pro you hit four keys which is impossible if you've ever tried it. In case you are mistaken, "/" does not make the horse go, it only controls speed. since the computer is perfect then you will most likely lose. Racing against friends is better since you are evenly matched. This is fun for people who value having competition instead of just competing. This gets two stars because I thought I was buying an actual steeplechase, like the Grand National, with a twenty horse field. I also don't like how the horses look and how you can't give them names or change their colors. The graphics are nothing to shake a stick at either. By the way, why are there no unlockable features?
