A Virtual Pet is So Much Better Than the Real Thing! October 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Is your little princess demanding a pony? Are the kids going on a hunger strike until you buy them their own circus elephant? Well, you and I both know that's never going to happen. However, you might want to pacify their rioting with a much less expensive and smelly alternative, Animal Paradise for the Nintendo DS.
The game is simple. You have to care for a pet by doing many of the things you'd have to do in real life: feed them, walk them, pet them, give them a bath, etc. By doing so, you increase the animal's affection towards you. As their love goes up, you'll earn ridiculously cute photos of the animal and unlock new animals to play with.
There's 18 animals in all and range from a variety of cats and dogs to some more interesting choices like a chicken, squirrel, miniature pig, and Jangalian hamster. Your kids will need to keep up with each animal, which is a great way to introduce them to the responsibilities of owning a pet. The controls are extremely easy with the DS touch screen. If you need to pet a dog for example, you just scratch the screen. They animal will react to whatever you're doing, so it's great positive feedback for the kids. There are also several "mini-games" to break up the action and serves as a nice way of sharpening their puzzle solving skills.
Unfortunately, that's about it. Once you unlock all the animals and photos, the game doesn't offer much more past that point. You can continue maintaining the animal's undying affection towards you, but there's nothing new to satisfy you beyond that.
This is a really good game for young kids and our 6-year-old was over the moon about it. Appropriately, it's recommended for kids 3 and up.
