Care, Prepare and Win with ‘My Horse and Me 2’

Atari today announced the European launch of My Horse and Me 2, the sequel to 2007’s successful equestrian sports and lifestyle video game experience.  Boasting the exclusive worldwide license from the FEI, My Horse and Me 2 is available in European retailers now for Wii and Xbox® 360 and on 14 November for PlayStation®2, Nintendo DS™ and PC.

“The exclusive license from the FEI, the world’s foremost authority on horse sports, is testament to the quality of My Horse and Me 2, which offers players the most authentic way to enjoy the equestrian lifestyle, develop a bond with the animals they love, and enjoy the thrill of international competition in a game,” said Cyril Voiron, VP Brand Management, Worldwide Publishing, Atari.  “My Horse and Me 2 is a great Christmas gift for anyone with a passion for horses.” 

My Horse and Me 2 lets you live the ultimate bond with your horse through grooming and caring games. Care for your horse by cleaning, feeding and with regular vet check-ups, then prepare for competition by training for jumping, cross country and dressage, with the aim of taking home the top prize in official Eventing competitions.  As the endearing story unfolds, you will meet some friendly characters who will guide you to gold medal success at official and exclusive FEI events at some of the world’s most prestigious locations.  The FEI have advised on in-game features such as cinematics, environments and courses for the most accurate equestrian experience in a game.

My Horse and Me 2 includes extensive customisation options for horse and rider including riding equipment and accessories.  The new menu gives the rider free roaming access to the different environments and you will be able to lead your horse by the reigns to the mini games and a complete competition mode.  You will also be able to play against your friends on Wii, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 versions which include multiplayer features for even more competitive fun.
