You Can Tell a game's going to be dire when the publisher refuses to send you a copy: Pippa Funnell's second outing on PC is just such an example. You play as a young girl who's been sent to a posh horsey college, where your arrival is welcomed with a dodgy cut-scene akin to a Harry Potter movie, but without any of the characters, settings or magic that makes that series entertaining.
Once you've settled in, the game revolves around filling your day with four activities. These mostly fall into two camps: teeth-gnashingly bad adventure-style proceedings with dated 3D environments and a bunch of annoying teenagers who look like they've just been sacked from a low-budget teen horror flick; and actual horse-based content such as grooming your horse, practising one of the events on offer and shovelling shit. While the riding events provide simple entertainment, the other tasks are so tedious and repetitive, you soon find yourself wondering if you could make a profit from turning your precious nag into Pedigree Chum and Superglue.

The game also squeezes in other girly content of dubious value such as taking photos, buying clothes and making yourself more popular, thus providing extra squealing content for the young lady of today without adding anything to the gameplay.

If you're looking to buy a present for a daughter or niece, you're much better off with Beyond Good & Evil or Psychonauts. Or you could just cough up the cash for an iPod Nano. After all, I bet the Bratz have one.
