The Littlest Pet Shop game trilogy for the Nintendo DS are all fairly similiar. They likely have "exclusive" pets to each system or whatnot, but all three levels - garden, jungle and winter - are unlockable in every version. So you really only need the one. The pet plaza is where you will be spending most of your time, as it is the central hub for buying tickets for pets to come join your menagerie, buying playsets to unlock more mini games and other activities.

Graphics are sweet, cute and fitting for the Littlest Pet Shop. The characters look like pet shop animals which is a real plus for fans of the franchise. Most of the action takes place in the "worlds" which are nice looking but a bit busy. Its sometimes hard to pick out certain interactive objects from the busy backgrounds (such as the sign that takes you to other worlds). The pets themselves are animated nicely, with horses that neigh and bunnies that hop. They can be moved between the four levels whenever you like after you unlock them. The pets can be dressed up with accessories, renamed and you can pet them/feed them, the very minimal of virtual pet upkeep, which leaves time for other things.

Such as minigames!! You unlock a variety of mini games just by playing. So far, my daughter (who is four) her favorites are the balloon pop mini game (throw darts at balloons), the nut mini game (tap nuts to keep them from hitting your animal friends), and the matching one (match up blocks of colors with animal faces). There's also a coloring one, but it only has about a dozen different pictures, kind of disappointing. There are some mini games that would appeal to older children as well. A few mini games are utter rubbish such as their attempt at a "rhythm-music" mini game that fails on so many levels...

In fact, the entire game demands alot of reading for playing on one's own, and the game seems more suited to the 6 and up crowd, but younger children will have fun just moving the animals around and trying their hand at the mini games.

Overall, its a much more solid offering than one would expect from a licensed title, and given how much kids love the Littlest Pet Shop brand, it would have been an easy copout to slap together a game and call it a day (and watch the sales rack up). However, alot of thought has gone into making this an authentic "Littlest Pet Shop" experience, and thus gets a high recommendation from both myself and my daughter.

My eight year old daughter loves this game. I bought it for her for a long car ride and she played it for 4 hours straight. You get all the worlds unlocked eventually, so it doesn't matter which game you buy. They all have Garden, Jungle, Winter, etc. She says it one of her favorite ds games and she has plenty of them.

My six year old loves this game. She has minimal reading ability and yet can still operate this game fairly well. Lots of mini games on it that are "short and sweet" and therefore, are great for the little ones. Thumbs up from happy six year old and her mama.

I bought this game for my three daughters - Age 10, Age eight and age four and they ALL love it! The game does a fantastic job of having something for everyone! My older girls ADORE the pets and seeing how they'll play the various games, while my youngest could spend all day in the coloring mode. The thing I love is that I'm never handed the game in order to get past "hard stuff." Too many games made for young girls seem to have no clue regarding play difficulty, but this game does a fantastic job of keeping things just right! If you have Pet Shop fans in your household, I don't see how they could not love this game!

I bought this for my second grader and she loves it. She really likes LPS toys, and the game is right on target for her. The games are challenging enough that she doesn't get a blue ribbon on her first try, but not so hard that she gives up. This game was well worth the money I paid for it.

Hello I'm an autistic adult gamer.

This is my review on Littlest Pet Shop - DSiware downloadable ds game Cost - 800 points.

Well I did want to try this series but didn't want to buy the cartridges for [...]bucks a pop so when I saw this in the dsi shop on my Nintendo DSi I figured it would be 800 points well spent worth. & I was right 800 points spent on a good ds downloadable game very cute, interactive, & can keep anyone busy playing for hours even some one who is 22 like me.

Graphic's - A+
Game - A+
Sound - A+
Level of fun on a scale of 1 to 5 stars = 5 Star rating

Get either one cartridge form or DSiware download. I tried DSiware download & am having a blast. My recommandation buy either one.

Happy Gaming everyone!

My daughter got this game for Christmas and loves it. I actually play it also...it's lots of fun!

What I would like to know before I purchase this game is the apporpiate age for this game and the rating of the game. This game has some very fun and boring parts about it. The fun parts are getting new pets, naming, feeding, and scratching them. Buying toys for the pet was also very enjoyable. The boring parts was that the pets always want to play a game. When you play the same game over and over again it gets boring.

This is game is very similar to other pet shop games. The graphics are bright and very cute and its lots of fun to play. My kids love it and I find myself playing with it too lol.

this is another game I have bought for my daughter off of amazon and it is one of her favorites
