 great game for animal lovers April 6, 2008

My daughter purchased this game with her birthday money. The directions are terrible but once you have done your waiting and receive your first customer it has been a lot of fun!! My daughter says that you also have to buy a pen before receiving any pets.

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who loves animals. The instructions to getting the game started are quite vague and she got very discouraged. The "code" descriptions in the instructions are good, however.
I finally stepped in to help her start the game. To start, you need to set up the "pet resort" business by creating pens for the various animals, buying food, etc., which are done through the "resort owner's" computer screen located in her office. What the directions are vague to tell is that one business day at the pet resort on the DS is equal to 20 minutes (real-time) and changes made (i.e. pen expansions) don't appear until the next "business day". Pet food is stored on a shelf unit that periodically needs to be "dragged" into a food sack.
My daughter waited 4 pet resort days (80 minutes) for the first guest (a rabbit) to show up. Once the first rabbit showed up, and she performed the required animal care, feeding and such in the rabbit pen (using the "A" button), she had rabbits checking in and checking out constantly every couple of minutes and that's when she began to have great fun with the menagerie of animals that came. She (and I) now have a hard time putting it down.
So...a bit confusing getting started, but entertaining and great fun once we figured it out.
