User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Boring!!!!!
OK. I got this game and I was really excited. Then when I put the game chip in and… BORING!!!!! I had adopted the dog and then I went through the aweful trainig games and met a few dogs. When I had finished the toutorial version, I adopted 2 new pets. They had a child and I got 4 dogs. (I think this is for young children to practice math with, 1 dog+ 2 more dogs+ baby dog= 4 puppies.)
Well, I’ ve had many other games that involve patince, but this game takes the longest to load! The dogs are in one room and when you click on a door, they have to walk in of corse, but they never all make it through in less than 20 seconds!
If you have a t.v. with country- wide service (like getting Nickolodian and Cartoon Network) you might of seen a commercial for it. DON’T BELIVE THE COMMERCIAL!!!! That dog (Wiggles) is a huge fake that tricks kids into buying this game (or in some cases asking for it on special occasions) but whether you’re a kid or adault reading my review (and most others) DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
4 Stars Great Game!
I got this game for Christmas and I really like it! First, you go to the adoption center and pick a huskey, golden retriever, or a chihuahua. Then, you take it home and play with it and pet it to make it grow up. Later you can unlock more breeds including:
Boxer
Yorkie
Pug
Schnauzer
Beagle
Poodle
German shephard
You unlock breeds by breeding your dogs.
You can also unlock special breeds by entering a code. If you enter a code you get a special toy and a special breed such as a fairy yorkie or a super hero huskey. Sometimes you will aslo get an outfit to dress your dog up in.
Unlike Nintendogs there are many rooms in your house. There is a kitchen, living room, closet, bathroom, front entrance, and a pet room. The pet room is where you put your dogs if there is no more room for them. You can have three dogs with you at a time, but you can have ten dogs in all.
BREEDING YOUR DOGS
To breed you dogs you need a full grown male and female. You let them play together (it takes 5 to 10 minutes) When there is a laughing face between the pictures of them on the top screen, they will have a puppy. What the puppy looks like depends on what its parents look like.
To make your puppy grow up you pet it until it has three hearts.
PARKS + PLACES
There are 4 places you can go to:
Snow Field
Park
Beach
Adoption center
You unlock these places by breeding your dogs with other the other dogs at the parks.
TOYS
You simply unlock toys by doing the park challenge (which is dog agility) or entering a code.
FOOD
Every day for 12 days you will get a new food or drink.
CLOTHES
You can unlock clothes by breeding, entering codes, or taking good care of your dogs.
HOUSE DESIGNS
You can unlock different house designs by breeding your dogs with other dogs at the parks.
OTHER STUFF
Other things you can do:
You can take pictures and save them
You can wirelessly play with friends
BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME
Takes WAY to long to load when you are going places
The dogs are not very realistic (but its not a big deal)
It takes to long for the dogs to breed
Some of the puppies are ugly (but most of them are cute)
The dogs sometimes have unrealistic movements (like randomly standing on their hind legs)
The dogs do not pick up toys in their mouths, instead they will just bark at it.
Despite these things this is still a fun game and I recommend it to any dog lover.
P.S SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR REAL DOGS!!!!
3 Stars An ok game, but not as fun as I thought.
This game is pretty fun, but sometimes it is not.
BAD THINGS:
First of all, at the beginning you can only keep up to three dogs. By the end of the game you can keep ten dogs. But there are not many breeds to choose from. There is an ugly golden retriever, a prissy chihuahua, a sweet husky, a boxer, a yorkie, a beagle, a pug, a shnowzer (I know that is not how to spell it), and I think one more breed. And there is not much to do other than watch the dogs run around, breed them (which takes a few hours to get them to like each other), and pet them. You can only breed them when they “grow up” and you have to just sit there and pet them for about an hour until all their hearts are filled up. Also, when you breed the dogs, they only have one puppy. When you get them from the adoption center, it is hard to tell if they are a boy or a girl because both of the signs are blue.
GOOD THINGS:
This game is fun because you get to breed dogs. I have always wanted to, but my mom did not let me. On this game, you can sometimes breed, but they have to get to like each other first (which takes a few hours,) so what I do is I leave the game on, plug my ds into the charger, and leave sitting on the couch. Then I check on it in an hour and my dogs might start to like each other. Also, well it is boring other than that.
So if you would like a less boring dog game, get nintendogs or petz dogz fashion.
