1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly designed game in almost every way,,,, August 21, 2009

This review is from: Purr Pals (Video Game)

This game was impossible for my 4 and 6 year old daughters to play. It takes a very high level of control just to click buttons on the interface screen. The interface buttons are also placed too close together so sometimes when you want to look at the status of your cat you instead end up pressing the button to discipline the cat by spraying it with water.
Most of the mini-games which are played in order to earn money to buy stuff for your kitten are either extremely difficult, extremely boring, or both. There is a guitar-hero type mini game in which the notes fly across the screen and you have to point and click and hit each note...it takes an incredibly fast, but steady hand to do this even marginally well.
Probably worst of all is that only one player can play this game as it allows for only one profile overall. That single profile can have up to 5 cats which would be fine, but the problem is that once you buy the first cat you have don't have enough to purchase another. So you have to play the frustrating mini-games a hundred times which gives you on average 50 cents at a time in order to buy another cat that costs $90.
Also, there are is no option to set up play for left-handers like my older daughter.
This is now the worst game that we own. So far, the Wii Sports game that came with the console is still the best overall out 9 different games that we have.

I bought this game for my 6 year old Daughter's birthday
She isnt into the sports or other mainstream games so I was hoping this would be a more relaxed just go and do what you want.

First off the graphics and interactions are more on par with a $20 game- cheap and very unimpressive. the games are no fun and actually difficult.
My daughter just got penalized and lost $ for not doing enough with her cat and she has only been playing like 20 minutes!!!!! And the things she lost $ on were al things she did with the cat, or tried to. = not that she can actually earn a decent amount to buy anything but flea spray cause the cat always has fleas!!!! This is by far the WORST video game I have bought for any of my kids on any system!!
It isnt even like she can just roam each room and just play this game is very lame on it's interaction as well.. She has to ALWAYS go to a differnt screen to do anything! which is choppy. Your child should probably be a decent reader, is isnt very obvious what you need to do or when at all.

We purchased this game on a whim for my 4 year old. This was a huge mistake. Not only could my daughter not play any part of the game by herself, we the adults had trouble with the small screen buttons, cheap jumpy graphics, boring activities and games. I'm hoping she'll soon forget about it so that I may trade it in for something better.
