'''''Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue''''' is an [[Adventure game|adventure]] [[video game]] developed by [[Blitz Games]] and published by [[Vivendi Universal Games]]. It is the third game in the ''[[Barbie Horse Adventures]]'' [[video game]] series based on the [[Barbie]] line of dolls by [[Mattel]]. The game was released for [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], and [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2003.

== Gameplay ==
''Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue'' is an [[adventure game]] played from a [[Virtual camera system#Third-person view|third-person perspective]]. A storm comes in and causes the gate at a ranch to open, letting [[horse]]s and [[foal]]s run away. Barbie must track down the foals and horses through 3 parts of 3 different settings: the forest, the mountains, and the beach. There is an average of three foals plus one horse that can be found at the end of the section. In the 2nd part of the section, a missing horse will be found by someone else, and Barbie must race them.

== Reception ==
The game has been heavily criticized by the gaming press. [[X-Play]] dubbed it a ''Game You Should Never Buy''<ref name="xplay">{{Cite web|last=Satterfield|first=Shane|url=http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/features/484/Games_You_Should_Never_Buy.html|title=Games You Should Never Buy|publisher=[[X-Play]]|date=2004-03-23|accessdate=2009-05-31|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050406001445/http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/features/484/Games_You_Should_Never_Buy.html|archivedate=2005-04-06}}</ref> 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.)

== Xbox 360 compatibility ==

The Xbox version (and by extension, Xbox creator [[Microsoft]]) has been ridiculed for being a rare game for which the [[Xbox 360]] is [[backwards-compatible]],<ref>See [[Penny Arcade (webcomic)|Penny Arcade]] strip for January 9, 2006 [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/01/09]</ref> while 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 has been reported that the backwards compatibility of the game on the Xbox 360 was a side effect of emulation of a different game.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}
