Tamagotchi is a great game , You can play sports maths and guessing games and your tamagothi can turn into loadsa different stuff depending on how you look after it. You can enter them in races and beauty contests nd also look after 3 at a time. they can be vegetarians or they could love meat! your tamagotchi can get sick or die but it can also lay an egg and you can start all over. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tamagotchies, August 15, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Tamagotchi (Game Cartridge)

I think that the Tamagotchie is a great, virtual game for kids, like me to have. People who are allergic to animals, can experience having pets with a Tamagotchie. There are loads of fun. You can feed them, and bathe them when they go "do their work" You can scold them when they do something wrong, and watch them go through stages. You'll notice they'll begin to grow, when they change form, or shape. They can die, when you don't look after them, and when you look in their profile, it will tell you how old they are, when they were born, how much they weigh, and what their status is.

This review is from: Tamagotchi (Game Cartridge)

I don't know why this toy is getting such bad reviews. The Gameboy version is much better than the original toy! If you're patient enough to nurture your little pets, they'll grow into creatures that are energetic and willing to please. Once they mature, they don't become sick as easily, and become better at the games. In short, this game is not for those who like lots of action. If you have lots of time on your hands and don't mind having to wait, (there's a speed time option, to wake your pets early if you like) this game is a great way to pass the time.
