 Nintendogs June 5, 2008
Good game...I like the fact that you get to interact with it and actually talk to the dog.
 Great for kids, good for adults too! May 12, 2008
This would be a terrific game for kids--it's good fun, easy to master, and sneaks in some educational lessons on responsibility. That said, I'm an adult and I like it too! It's a little simplistic, but the puppies are cute and since I live in an apartment where I can't have a real pet, this is a nice alternative. Plus you get to take it for walks without getting off the couch, and all you have to do to clean up its poop is tap it with the stylus! If that's not a perfect pet, what is? The one downside is that if you want your puppy to stay with you, you have to make time to feed and walk and play with it even when your schedule gets busy, but I guess that's good practice for raising a real puppy too.

My daughter really enjoys playing Nintendogs Dachshund & Friends. She plays this game because she really enjoys taking care of her dogs and having it learn new tricks.
Better than any other virtual pet game. . . . March 29, 2008

Nintendogs isn't like Puppylove, Dogz, or anthing else like that. You teach your dogs how to do tricks on command, enter them in GREAT contents, bathe them, brush them, feed them, take them on walks (where you can play with other neighborhood dogs, find fabulous surprises, or even a broken disposeable camera, and train for disc and agility.), and.... so much more!!
the graphics are awsome. my four puppies look as real as if someone took a pictures of a Shih Tzu, Husky, Shiba, and Cavalier then animated them. it's great. this game totally brings out all the potential of the DS in every way that makes it unique. You can call ur dog and teach it all sorts of tricks with your voice, and it will respond to u and only u. you can pet ur puppy and guide it along an agility course with the stylus on the touch sreen.
There are four versions of nintendogs, Chihuahua, Dashund, Lab, and Dalmation. Each version starts you off with six breeds to choose from and different special items that u can find on walks. You can unlock every breed on your own by earining trainer points (u earn those by entering contests, going on walks, teaching new tricks, etc.), but the special items can be unlocked by going on Bark Mode with ppl who have different versions. You can also unlock one breed from each person u go into Bark Mode with, too. Example, If they have a Corgi on Bark Mode, and you haven't unlocked that breed yet, then it will become available to u. and Vice Versa. So basically EVERYTHING in all of Nintendogs can become available to u.
This game is absolutely gtreat. I can understand how some ppl would get bored of it, but those are also probbably ppl who could get bored or tired of a real pet, too. Go on, give it a try!

The basic idea of the game is to own a dog without the mess and the costs it takes to both own and take care of a pet. As one who can not afford a pet myself, I decided to try out this game. Everyone had been going nuts about for so long, I assumed it would be this fabulous creation. Despite some of the negative reviews it had received.
Sadly, I found out the hard way that the game gets old very quickly. Sure, the dogs are adorable. And for the first few minutes, sure, it's fun to yell like an idiot into the microphone of your DS as you teach them their names and different sorts of tricks. But that will get boring, especially if your dogs too stupid to learn the move (my husky apparently is such a dog. After about fifty times of trying to teach it shake, I gave up).
There are the contests, but you only get three a day, and not as much money from it as you'd hope. And of course there's always the fact that if you put down your DS for a few days and don't check up on your dogs, you're fined what precious little money you have. This is enough to turn someone from the game.
I would definitely not recommend this game to anyone, except for perhaps children.
