Mary King's Riding Star (PS)

This is only suitable really for people remotely into horses. Otherwise I'd have imagined it would be pretty boring! I've had this now for about 2 years, and I still play with it!

The Mary King riding simulation game is priced at £19.99 approx., and is excellent fun and value for money, especially if you like horses. ...  Read the complete review
