Day 2 of Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race

Okay, there is no way this game was for kids.

For one, the whole thing moves so slow, even when you hold A to gallop. Then the difficulty kicks in and you have to literally plot out things to get 1st place on some races or search the entire area for all the coins and crap.

So here are how races work: You have to make 3 laps in a set time. The catch is you can't make the laps in time unless you collect the BARBIE balloons. You find one balloon for each letter and upon getting the last one your time is completely erased. So you literally have to save it for the last lap as each lap takes around 3 minutes and first place is 3 minutes. But damn does this horse move slow! It's like it's constantly stepping in crap it can't quite kick off. You could etch this game into the ****ing ground faster then you can play it.

The search missions are annoying because the graphic designers must have literally been horses because there is no sense of depth the entire time.

Pop quiz time: What here is flat?

Here is your answer:

Oh and one major beauty are the sprites used for the crowd.

Why is Benjamin Franklin and his twin brother watching me ride a horse?

It literally feels frustrating trying to go through this game. Based on the pacing I feel like girls really shouldn't have had to sit through this. If you beat this game as a child, screw the stereotypes you are a mega-gamer and female gamers' should use you as an example. No, all gamers should. I am near what I believe is the end of the game and it's only day two. Sadly, I don't know what I am going to do with myself after I finish this game. I will beat the game tomorrow and post my further frustration then, along with my verdict on whether it is a good game.

Oh an done more thing, the music is the same throughout the entire game. I literally put on The Dutch version of Barbie Girl (below) just so I could not go completely insane.
