In Ener-G Gym Rockets, girls get the chance to live the life of a young gymnast, as she twists, tumbles and twirls in five events, including floor, uneven bars and balance beam, on her way to the World Gymnastics Championships.
Fulfilling every little girl's dream of having a horse, Ener-G Horse Riders lets players create and train their own horse, enter thrilling competitions, ride around the open countryside and even tame wild horses.
