There is little motivation to carry out the actions the game puts before you and perhaps sticking to the script was a better idea. So, this is what you do and in all honesty, this is about as dull of a concept as you are likely to find in any horse related game out there and god knows there are plenty to choose from. Then with regards to the story of this game, it doesn’t follow the narrative of the film and rather fulfils the core concept of the film which is returning wild horses to their homeland. Then the backdrop is like a watercolour JPEG. Most of the game is played from a top-down perspective where the sprites aren’t a great representation of the characters in the movie but rather just horses in general. Granted on the GBA this all sounds like white noise anyway but in terms of effort, you can see some went in here. In terms of sound quality, the game actually does a good job of providing some nice overtures and voice notes. Run Like The Windįirst, lets address the shortcomings in terms of the overall presentation. So, does this game capture the film’s spirit, or is it a half baked representation? We find out in our review of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. This game aims to capture the essence of this heartwarming film while still providing a fun and fresh gameplay experience.
