Okay, so if you loved the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron movie as a kid, this GBA game actually does a decent job of bringing that world to life. You play as Spirit—obviously—and it’s mostly about running through canyons, jumping over gaps, and outrunning those annoying human wranglers trying to catch you. The controls are simple, but some of the later levels get surprisingly tricky with tight turns and obstacles popping up out of nowhere.

What I liked? The art style nails the movie’s look—wide-open plains, dusty trails, even a few familiar faces from the film show up. And yeah, there’s a bit of puzzle-solving mixed in, like figuring out how to open gates or trigger switches by kicking rocks (because, you know, horses don’t have hands). The racing bits are fun, though the AI sometimes cheats hard on the harder tracks.

It’s not the deepest game, but if you’re into the movie or just want a solid GBA platformer with a horse protagonist (because how many of those are there?), it’s worth a play. Just don’t expect a masterpiece—it’s pure early 2000s licensed game charm.
