you can't name your dog

After seeing my child struggle for over 40 minutes to get the nintendo machine to recognise the name she was calling (has to happen more than three times) and allow her to type it in, I felt compelled to warn other parents. It is a shame, its a good game which has been completely killed off by unnecessary voice recognition security. I hope someone from nintendo is listening, I am sure people have returned this game due to this design fault. |

Cute and fun virtual pet game!

When I first got this game for Christmas almost 2 years back I never got the hang of it because my dog (a Beagle) never listened when I called its name, so I left the game collecting dust amongst my other DS games. However I started playing it again quite recently thanks to my younger brother who kept the game going, and it's really adorable!
The graphics are nice (especially on the puppies themselves!) and looking after them is pretty straight forward. The commands are also easy to do and it's great to see your puppy run at you after calling its name.
The only downside is that you can only enter a certain tournament 3 times a day. Same goes for teaching commands to your dog. Because once you've done the tournaments and such, there's not really much left to do except still look after your pups and watch them.
In short this game is really fun and REALLY cute! I definitely recommend this to dog lovers and people that enjoy virtual pet games. |

Nintendogs dalmation and friends is the best!!!!!!

WOW! I have not had my DS for long and only have 5 games but I have played on lots and lots of my friends games as well. Out of all the games I have played I would probably put this in my top 5!!! Its fun and you can have up to 8 dogs. You get to name them, teach them there name and tricks, play with them, walk them, take them to agility practice, take them to the park, feed them, dress them, enter them into comotions and lots more! This is also the best nintendogs game! Even though they are all very similar this definatly has the best breeds. Its a easy game to play and I would recomend it for 5 to 14 year olds. The only problem with this game is it can get a bit annoying when you have to keep repeating things. Id say thats the only downside to this game so Id definetly buy it if I were you. You can even get cool keychains, nintendo ds stickers, screen wipers and cuddly toy dogs that are all the same as the game. Its absolutly GREAT!!!!!! |
