Horsing around with Riding Star on the DS

As a little girl I dreamt of show jumping, rosettes and a romantic adventure in which I reared a foal from birth. I may have spent too much time reading National Velvet, but there is a nation of girls out there who still idolize ponies, and they'll be excited about this game on the DS. Tim Stockdale's Riding Star features different levels of horse-play, from Show jumping and Dressage to Cross Country modes. You can play on your own or with friends and you also get to look after your horse, Tamagotchi style.

Keep your pet groomed, fed and happy and your riding will improve. Just make sure not to mistake the tuition you get for the real thing, as that could cause problems if you try and mount a stray pony.

I hope they bring this out on the Wii, as I predict hours of entertainments for viewers (and possibly players).

From September 19th on the DS at Eidos.
