3.0 out of 5 stars Don't get too attached to your pet....., November 25, 2006

This review is from: Dogz (Video Game)

As a parent I was very troubled to learn that the dog in DOGZ "dies" after a mere 3 weeks. This totally put me off of this game. We borrowed the game from a friend to give it a try and although the game itself was fun for my kids, having them train the dog and have it "die" on them was just disturbing and plain sad. So after trying out DOGZ and being rather disappointed with it we went out and purchased POCKET DOGS instead. The gameplay and graphics there is closer to Nintendogs for Nintendo DS and my kids love it. Plus it has the added benefit of being able to keep the dog without a set time limit.

My advice is to borrow or rent (if you can) "Dogz" but if you want a keeper then go for "Pocket Dogs."

3.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive but fun alternative to Nintendogs, December 6, 2005

If, like me, you don't have a Gameboy DS and don't foresee getting one soon, and were disappointed that Nintendogs isn't being offered in an GBA version, you may just enjoy Dogz. The graphics between the two don't really compare, and Dogz is a different concept, but it gives you 18 choices of breeds to choose, and it's a petcare simulation that can be fun and addictive.

Your character in the game is a 3rd grader, and your Mom and Dad have decided to let you have your own puppy. You go to the petstore and choose a pet - the choices offered are based on 3 questions you answer at the beginning of the game, as far as what gender of dog you like, what size, and how energetic you like your dog to be. Once you get your new puppy home, your job then becomes to see how well you can care for and train your dog for the next three weeks.

The graphics are simple, comparable to the Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town GBA game. The text is easy to read but repetitive, and much of the action during the game is repeating things in order to help your puppy "learn." You teach the dog to sit, stay, respond to its name - and not to poop on its bed!

Overall, this game is very easy. Older players (I'm 28!) might find this game TOO easy and annoying; it can be completed with one day of continuous gameplay, actually. Younger players will enjoy its simplistic goals and graphics. Like I said in the title, this could be a fun alternative to the Nintendogs phenomenon if you don't want to purchase a DS system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Holy bajeebers!!!, April 1, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dogz (Video Game)

This game is fun! Okay, not only do you get to get a dog, name it, and teach it tricks, but you can also do things for yourself, such as play with toys, sleep, eat, go to school! Theres a back yard too, and your dad plays golf! After you teach it sit and stay, you can go on walks. After the 3 weeks, you save your file onto Freinds Forever and you get to keep it forever, and make a new file. You can have 3 files! This game is awsome, so buy it!!!
