Nintendogs is an adorable game that'll keep going "Awwww!!!" for hours. The graphics and detail put into the game is uncanny, the dogs really do appear realistic and intelligent, and you'll fall in love with them the moment they come bounding up to you! Although some have called the game repetitive, as long as you work towards the competitions and different personalities and breeds, you'll be hooked.
The game is made all the more fetching (sorry) by the beautiful pink console it comes with. :) Although the console can feel a bit chunky and heavy at first compared to the other Game Boy consoles, the splendid lighting, graphics and features are worth it. The touch screen is genius, it really is value for money with all its little tweaks. The Picto Chat is very entertaining too even if you don't have friends to connect with, and its great fun to meet your mate's pets and gets other breeds for your family of fury friends!
You can buys toys, special food, collars, hats, random stuff and much more. Its lovely when you walk your dog and they bring you little presents which you can either sell for money or use them for their special purposes. Some items are really useful and can make the game great. Training them is funky too, you can teach them easy commands to show them whose boss, or teach them really hard stuff to compete. The breeds are good because they all have different attributes just like in real life, and you can get them just to see what they can do, or how they react to you.
Remember that they game is in real-time so your dogs will always be waiting for you. This meaning walking and feeding everyday so don't slack - its an actual commitment. They will run away or get ill if you don't, and trust me, you'll be too in love with them after a while to bear it!
The only tiny problem (which shouldn't matter if you look after it) is that it feels breakable, and therefore is. You won't be able to mess up the inside parts by dropping it, but do you really want to crack your pretty pink shell? I suggest getting the Pink DS pack which includes a carry case, GORGEOUS pink earphones, pens, screen protectors, adaptors and cleaning kit and a few other things. Just be careful with the screen protectors because if you try and remove them after placing them over your screens, they have a tendancy to leave a sticky residue, but otherwise they'll briliant. |
