This game is awesome!
This game is wonderful. I would absolutely love to have a real dog, or two, or three (!) but work keeps me away so much that it would be bad for the dog. So, I play this simulation, which makes me want a real dog even more! Every morning I spend the bus commute to work feeding, watering, walking, and playing with, my dogs. And then when I come home, that's when I really get to play, teaching them tricks, throwing the frisbee, because then I get to talk to them without disturbing other people. They are so cute and have different personalities, too. Once, I put one of them in the dog hotel, and then tried to get the dog at home to go to sleep with the "Naptime" record. But instead of going to sleep as usual, she walked around restlessly, looking for her brother. She was so cute, I took him right back out of the hotel and brought him home. Right away, they laid down together and went to sleep.
I bought the Nintendo DS just so I could get this game, and it was SOOO worth it. It's worth it even if Nintendogs is the only game you buy!
To the review titled, "I'M SO P.O.ED WHEN CRAPPY GAMES GET 5 STARS", dated October 11, 2005:
Nice language, first of all. If you're so worried about the children, maybe you shouldn't teach them phrases like "Oh my f'ing god". Second, if you're going to boycott something, boycott the kid. The game does not influence the player to hate real dogs, as you and supposedly the mother said. The game teaches the player to treat animals well, and with love. If that kid is warped enough to not like a real dog, there's just something wrong with the kid. That kid probably would have said that if he was playing "Grand Theft Auto. Or Halo, or Final Fantasy, or the Warcraft Series, or Stronghold". Probably Tetris or Dr. Mario, too.
person who said, rumors, rumors i need help
first of you can have 3 dogs at home and 5 at the hotel. you can have 65 feet of connevtion NOT 100 as so the kid said! you will get the dalmation if you find the firmens hat. donmt worry so much. its a simple game that is sooo fun. i had for more that 2 weeks and i still love it! when you get connected you will STAY CONNECTED! its so awsome because it will go up to 200-500 feet or more!!! yah, so get it now and again i say DONT WORRY BE HAPPY!!! good luck on ninyendogs and update us!
Great for starters
This game is a great way to start off with a new nintendo ds to learn all of the different features ans such. It makes great use of the touch screen and microphone, yet something keeps me from playing this game every day. One of the reasons is that i am busy, though i could play it on the go, or because it is not a game that you can sit down on your day off for six hours and make a lot of progress. you are only able to enter three competitions each day and teach your dog new tricks only three times. You can buy multiple dogs and they can each enter three copetions a day, but i only have two. I dont like any of the breeds in this game other than the two that i have, so i am waiting to unlock new breeds(which you can do by being good to your dog) and purchase more. You can have up to eight dogs, but only three at your house. you can put the rest in the dog hotel (i dont think it costs anything) Overall, a good ds game.
