[edit] Reviews
The game has been heavily criticized by the gaming press. X-Play dubbed it a Game You Should Never Buy[1] next to Monster Garage: The Game and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. In the episode, X-Play co-host Morgan Webb called Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue the worst game ever made, and continues to reference it so in ongoing episodes after giving the terrible review of having a 1 out of 5. IGN gave it a 4/10 rating, and XGP Gaming rating it a 4 out of 10.
Decent reviews, which mainly point out that the game was being geared towards children, were given out by TeamXbox (3.8/5) and the British Official Xbox Magazine (6.7/10.)
[edit] Xbox 360 compatibility
The Xbox version (and by extension, Xbox creator Microsoft) have been ridiculed for being a rare game that is forward-compatible to the Xbox 360,[2] whilst some of the more popular Xbox games remain unplayable on the newer console. It is viewed as a minor licensed title which has little appeal outside of its niche market. However, it's been reported that the forwards compatibility of the game on the Xbox 360 was a side effect of emulation of a different game.[citation needed]
