I've played this game as a kid and i was absolutely obsessed with Horsez games. I would literally die for u to add the rest of Horsez games on Steam as well <3

I'm giving it a thumbs up because the game has little real competition if you're looking for a horse game with a proper story and adventure game feel. Unlike many competitors, this one actually has likeable characters and an interesting narrative.

That being said, it has a ton of massive issues: the controls are janky as hell and the horse visuals are honestly horrifying, even for 2007.

At first I thought this game was wonderful, but oh how things can change. Don't be deceived by the joyful horse pictures, this is a hazardous game that should not be sold without severe warning. After countless days of raising horses, I was grazing on some nearby greens when my roommate dropped a dish on the ground. It broke and the noise of it spooked me, causing me to rear back and kick him in the head. Now he talks with a speech impediment and has a wonky eye. I haven't launched this game in 3 weeks because it will remind me of the incident. I can't face the reality of what I've done. My family won't speak to me, I have badly infected rug burn on both of my knees, and I'm malnourished from eating nothing but carrots, although my eye sight has never been better. Damn you Petz Horsez, you've ruined my life!!!!

I tried marathoning my way through to the end of this and somewhere around 10 hours in I fell asleep. When I woke up, the game was running an endless credits loop. Apparently I beat it in my sleep, or trained my horse sufficiently, or something.

I don't know if I should be proud of, or horrified by, the fact that I apparently sleep-gamed my way to the end of Petz® Horsez® 2.

Sad that this 2007 hidden gem of a game was overshadowed by such lesser games that came out that year, like Bioshock, Portal, The Elder Scrolls IV, and Super Mario Galaxy. It only shows how unaccepting the mainstream game consumer base is when it comes to smaller or less-marketed IPs.

I was looking forward to this game so much. I was a massive fan of the original Horsez, and really wanted to revisit my sub-par childhood game with it's sub-par sequel.

What I didn't see was the "Windows® Vista / XP (only)" system requirement. I have a brand new gaming PC and never bother to check requirements; I guess never thought about older games and expected that someone trying to legitimately sell a game on Steam would at least make it compatible with current, supported OSs. I couldn't even get it to work in compatibility mode, and I decided it's not worth me mucking around on a virtual machine to try and get it to work. I have requested a refund.

Only works on XP and Vista you guys. You have been warned.

This game is the best game ever! I dont know why i bothered putting 60 hours into fallout and 400 into Civ V when all that time was wasted not playing Petz Horses 2. This game really takes you on a fun joy ride adventure were you play some girl whose stuck in france, because the deer from the begining cutscene sabatoge your car off camera. Thats the only explanation to how it happens!

This game takes your horse riding fantasies and removes all the boring things. Like father figures, realistic responsibilities, and the putrid smell of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Other than the poor resolution in the cut scenes, and the failure to let me strap a flux capasitor to my horse and ride 88 miles an hour through the French country side. This game is good, in fact its the best game ever. IN FACT! Its the best game Ubisoft has ever made! Why play as a boring native american assassin in the colonial era, when you can talk to characters who personalities resemble chalk, in Petz Horses 2.

Not to mention all the people on the farm are idiots. I mean seriously how can you live on a horse farm for years, and not have a vet! Thats was a "Quest" in the begining of the game, at the end of that same "Quest" you have to walk into a barn and pet a horse with a sponge. Thats it. WAS THAT SERIOUSLY THAT HARD? I BARELY DID ANYTHING! But the horse was fine after that. The horses, now sponged foot, was magically ok and we did thousands of random jumps over strategicly placed wooden walls that were most likely left over peices of the Maginoe Line. Best game ever 200/10

This is the best horse game I have ever found. I played it to death as a kid, and as an adult I go back to relive my childhood.

The storyline is intreguing, the characters intresting. If you have played previous Ubisoft horse games, you will recognise some characters, but it is not necesary to have played it's predicessors to enjoy this one.
I remember being blown away with the graphics when I played it the first time...But times change and compared to modern games the graphics suck. (Still playable!) The horses look a bit silly at times, but the scenery is lovely.
Compared to previous Ubisoft horse games this one has the best dressage and horse grooming.

i woke up in a crop circle and my hand was engraved with the words "Petz Horsez 2", i downloaded it and i can't stop. i will never stop. i will abandon my humanity and undergo a transformation into a ps2 so i can have Petz Horsez 2 INSIDE ME.

its ok
