5.0 out of 5 stars A Kid's Review, April 13, 2008

A Kid's Review

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a very fun game to play. You start out by getting interviewed to adopt a dog or cat (later on you can get a horse). You decide what color you want it to be, the design (spots, stripes), and its name. You can dress your pet and clean it (by putting it in the tub and using the stylus to make bubbles by rubbing). There are mini games in a different part of the island, and you need to unlock one, I haven't yet. On wifi you can meet other peoples pets and make friends and chat. It is perfectly safe because you use pictures for words and only certain words have pictures for them. It gets a tiny bit boring when you just keep playing the same mini games, but you get a lot of motivation to get the biggest house and the most friends.
I would say "get the game!" but also, you might want to save your allowance so you can get 2 games in case you aren't the type for this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Stress Relief for Adults as well as Kids., October 22, 2008

By	kindred spirit (God's Country) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

It is fun to adopt your own pet and then have it travel around and make new frieds. The graphics are really cute but not so that as a woman in 50's cannot enjoy it to wind down at the end of the day.

I do mostly brain games so it is fun to play a bit after challenging the brain. I haven't done the wifi feature yet but I may try it in the future.

There is nothing objectionable in the game so any child who can read could enjoy it. You do need to read the directions on the screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible amount of content for the price, March 18, 2008

By	C. Oltyan "Game Designer and Producer" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

GoPets Vacation Island is an incredibly rich game featuring hours of entertainment for the price. With extensive item customization tools, online play, free downloads, and a variety of minigames, it has a huge number of activities to engage in. While a little complicated to figure out at first, and needing a slightly better tutorial in the beginning, it certainly makes up for those flaws with its sheer amount content.
