This was a gift for a 10 yr old girl who does not like violent games or blood, she chose this game, Cooking Mama, and Catz as games she would like to play. She still is not bored with them and continually plays them.

Who let the Dogz out?!?!

Dogz is awesome! I got it 2 days ago and have played it non-stop! You start off in a pet shop. If you find the dog you like, you will go to a room in the pet shop, and play with the puppy. If you like the dog, you can take it home with you. If you don't, then you can go look at the rest of the dogs. Then you go home. Your house has a bedroom, kitchen, family room, computer room, and a front yard.

Before you take a walk you have to get your dog it's shots. In the meanwhile, you can feed your puppy, teach your puppy tricks, and other fun things. You do have to go to school Mon-Fri, but all you do is go to the front door, and then it will show you coming home. Once you get your shots, you can take your dog for a walk. Then you walk the big town with your dog. There is a vet, pet shop, dog park, and more! Also when you take your dog for a walk, your mom might ask you do run to the candy store or something like that. Then she'll give you a present. When you go on the walk, you can meet people with dogs. Keep visiting the people, and your dog will make friends with their dogs. Once you have a couple friends, you can have a party on Sunday. Your mom will ask you if you want to have a party. Also on the weekends, you can enter a competition. There will be one at the pet shop and one at the dog park.

You can train your dogs to do tricks. When the trick is learned, your mom will give you a present.

At night when you go to bed, you can write in your diary and view your dog's status. Five hearts is the best and zero hearts is the worst.

In your closet, you can change the character's outfit, decorate your room, and put toys and decorations in your room.

There are also mini games in the toy chest. Your parents give them to you as gifts.

Sorry if I missed anything else. Just writing my review makes me want to get my DS, and play Dogz!

I got this for my 8th birthday and absolutely love it. After your dog is vacinated, you can take it for walks, play tournaments, and you can meet other dogs and have parties with them. It was easy for me to learn. I have played it every day ever since I got. I would definitely recommend this game.

Awesome, shocking, amazing!

I love this game. I mean you can do so much with your dog. They just miss two care jobs: brushing teeth and cliping nails. I would recommend getting this instead of getting Nintendogs, because in Nintendogs you do not have as much to do with your dog, and it is more advanced than Nintendogs. I would give Nintendogs 3 stars because it is good not great. Dogz is great. Dante

This game is horrible!

You have to wait too long to do anything with your dog. This game is so boring compared to Nintendogs! Save your money!!! I just got this game for my 11th birthday and I wish I could return it for something more amusing.

Forget my other review...Dogz is Awesome!

Okay, my other review, called Nintendogs and Dogz - - - forget it! I hadnt played it enough to really like it. After I got it a few days ago, I played for a few more hours (more like a million hours) and I love it! In Dogz, you pick a character and clothing, and it starts out on a Saturday, when your parents take you to the pet shop. You pick out the dog you like, you name it, and you get to take it to your house, which consists of a living room, kitchen, hallway, piano room, and the upstairs has your bedroom, which you can decorate. You can train your dog to sit, lie down, go to bed, and shake, plus other tricks.
You can take your dog on walks, but not until it gets vaccinated, which is the Saturday after you get your dog. Then, you can go on walks, and sometimes, your mother will want you to run an errand for you, like go to the Greengrocer on your walk (the grocery store) and pick up some things. If you do this, your mother will give you a gift.
On walks, you can stop by the park, too. At the park, you can play ball or frisbee with your dog. Or, on Saturdays and Sundays, you can enter a race with your dog, where you lead your dog through tunnels and over hurdles until they get to the finish line, where you can earn trophies.
Also, on Saturdays and Sundays, you can take your dog to the Pet Shop, and there will be a contest, where you do tricks with your dog, and the judges give you a score. You can get trophies for these too. Also, at the pet shop, your Mom lets you get one thing per day, from a new lamp for your room, to a new type of dog food. :-)
In Dogz, you are a child though, so you have things like breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, bedtime, and you have to go to school Monday - Friday, too, but you dont actually 'go' there...you walk to school, then it will show you getting home at 2:30pm. You also have a "WALK" time. Your mother will allow you to walk your dog once a day after 3pm, but you have to be home by 6pm for dinner.
Just a small thing, but worth noting - there are mini-games in Dogz too, but you have to earn them. If you are doing a good job taking care of your dog, your mother or father might give you one of two mini-games, which will be put in the toy box in the living room. So, whenever your bored, you can play a game of "Match-A-Puppy" (aka Memory) and other games.
At bedtime each night, you can choose to see your dog's "Status" which is, their stress level (I'm guessing 5 hearts of 'Stress' means no stress), and how good they are at tricks, like, if your dog's "Lie Down" heart level is full hearts, then it has mastered that trick. Whenever you master a trick with your puppy, your Mother or Father will be proud of you, and give you a present.
During walks, you can stop by the Vet, where a doctor will answer your questions about things like Friendship with your dog, and your dog's Stress level and things like that. I suggest you go to the vet at least once a week to keep your dog healthy. The doctor will also give your dog a check-up telling you if it's sleeping enough or eating enough, etc.
The graphics really dont matter much to me anymore, because it's cute and colorful, and the game is great.
I dont know of any cheat codes for this game, but I dont need any - the game is perfect in itself, and is a fantastic boredom buster for those rainy days, or sunny days for that matter---any day, any time, this game is by far, the best Dog game I have ever played, and the best DS game I have played.
Well, just writing about this game wants me to go pick up my DS from the table across the room and play it for hours on end....but, parents, if you're the kind that doesnt want your son/daughter playing for hours on end, I must tell you, it's very educational if you are getting a dog, your kids want a dog, or if you just want your kids to be more responsible with pets, because they have to feed it, potty-train it and clean up it's uh-ohs when its in other places than the potty, take it for walks, and of course, they have to give it affection and love, or your dog will be unhappy. I think it teaches them more than if they play Nintendogs, because in Dogz, you need to juggle caring for a dog between breakfast, school, dinnertime, and bedtime. It's a fantastic game, and it's not hard to use - - - it took me a few minutes to sort of understand how to maneuver my way around the house, but it is fairly easy to do so.

Thanks so much for reading my review. If you have any questions, email me: gifted6@gmail.com, or comment this review.
