Dogz / Game

Product Information

It was only a matter of time, then, before other publishers decided to step in and capitalize on the audience of millions Nintendo established. Like a game that had the potential to be good and engaging, but ended up landing somewhere lost in the land of the mediocre. The plot is too repetitive, everyday you have breakfast, feed the dog, go to school, feed the dog, walk the dog, feed the dog, dinner, go to sleep.

This game is home to a happy, carefree and approachable presentation, but it can't hope to match the level of interactivity that Nintendog owners have already experienced. It was 1995 when the Petz series first came to life, in the form of some simple virtual pet desktop companions on home computers. But for a fun, interactive virtual puppy experience, stick with the proven million-selling winner and pick up -- or dust off your copy of -- Nintendogs.

Tacked-on touch screen control is nothing new for GBA+ titles, and here again we find a prime example of underutilization of the Nintendo DS system's unique abilities. It's an ok game, and surely young kids will have fun playing, but I truly believe that there are much better dog games. ABOUT USFounded in 1994, GameZone has been working to bring gamers everything there is to know about the games industry, from reviews on the latest game releases to breaking news and rumors. Players create and control a main character and choose one of 49 different dogs from 18 different breeds.

You'll try to feed your dog its lunch, only to see it react in recoil with a message that it's not hungry.Dogz came to the Game Boy Advance in time for the 2005 holiday season, and it looks like the style and assets established for that release were given just a few tweaks and sent here to the dual-screen system. Gamers will earn their puppy-s love and loyalty by remembering to feed and groom it and reward it when it does things correctly. Nintendogs is more about the interaction, about using the unique features of the DS system to become immersed in the experience of playing with your digital dog. The DS exclusive features such as touch screen and voice recognition allow the player to feel more connected with the puppy.

Gamers expect more now, and especially so since already seeing that extra effort come through in Nintendogs. Dogz isn't really about playing with your dog at all, but rather a kind of educational pet care role-playing game. But we're well beyond the point in the DS life cycle where slapping on some stylus control on a GBA design and displaying a static image on the second screen is acceptable form. Your puppy can learn lots of tricks and can enter in races and contests and you can take your puppy for walks!An "Internet-connected" computer in your house's den accesses tips and tutorials for training your terrier, separated into every imaginable topic. You have to take care of your puppy by grooming, washing, feeding it, taking it for walks and learning it tricks. You can move around and interact with objects and characters using the stylus, but recognition of swiping motions is poorly implemented.

While Nintendogs is undoubtedly a member of the virtual pet genre, Dogz feels like a hybrid of both virtual pet and RPG. Plus, you can't have different players, so starting a new game means erasing the old one and starting all over again.
