This game is great I just got it and it is very fun. The game is also fun for kids just don't listen to the teen rating. The game is very funny and the levels are huge. The game is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. There are 3 areas with levels. I'm not sure how many levels there are in an area but there is like 40 levels total. The main thing you do is collect bones. You get to interact with people and sometimes do something for them like finding something for them or doing tricks for them, you also get bones for doing something for them. You can also enter smellovision mode that is first person and you collect different color smells that look like clouds. When you collect enough of the same color smell you get to compete with a dog like peeing contests or races etc. Sometimes you have to compete with the dog more than one time but if you complete one challenge with the dog you can control it and do things that Jake can't do. You see Jake's girlfreind got kidnapped and now he has to save her. When you collect enough bones in the area you get transported to another area. You can also do tricks like poop,fart,pee,sit etc. Oh and sometimes when you collect enough smells you get a bone. The cutscenes have really good graphics and so does the game, the dogs look realistic, but the graphics aren't the best but still good. I recommend everyone to get this game.

Alright, to get started, many of you people out there have probably never heard of this game before. Well, that's probably because of the lack of coverage it's getting. Personally, I think this game is pretty good (not the best but far from the worst).

You play as a dog who's friend has been dognapped and it's up to you to find him. You travel through around 40 different levels each getting progrssivly harder as you go. Along the way you can collect bones for diffent items to aid you on your quest. In total, I think, there are 150 bones to collect. You can also interact with many of the diffent townspeople you meet over the different areas. There is also a feature called smell-o-vision that puts you into a first person view mode. In this mode, you "smell" different scents that are displayed as different colors to find hidden items. You can also perform different dog tricks such as lay down, sit, shacke, and the more imature of moves which i will not mention but let's just say you can use these moves to mark teritory (if you know what i mean).

The presentation of Dog's Life (and by that i mean graphics) is nothing spectacular but they are good none the less. The fur on the dog moves with the different motions that you make him do. The textures are simple and look pretty good but again it's nothing too exciting.

This game is fun but a little too easy and sort of short depending on your level of skill at video games. For instance i'm sort of a hardcore gamer and have played through this game in a couple of hours (maybe 2) but for someone with less skill it will take a little longer, and even though this game seems like it is advertised to the younger crowd, the older audience will get a kick out of it as well. It's no huge challenge but it is a good, fun, game to play.

Overall, i think Dog's Life deserves an 8 out of 10 for it's gameplay and fun factor but not for its actuall itensity. For people that want a masivly large challenge, look elsewhere, but for people that want to sit down and play something for a couple of hours, Dog's Life will certainly keep you entertained.

I am glad I bought this game

I bought this game for my daughter, who is a dog lover, for Christmas without her asking for it. She absolutely loves this game!!! I was a little hesitant on buying it since it had the teen rating but after reading the reviews of others, I figured I was pretty safe. The worst the dog does is goes to the bathroom. I could never understand why my kids liked to sit around and "watch" other kids play games. However, I actually enjoy sitting down and watching my daughter play this game. The dog (Jake) has tasks to complete in order to collect a bone as a reward. The tasks are complicated enough for young children to feel challenged but not too complicated as to they get frustrated and give up. I would like to see other animal versions come out as well.

my dream came true

This is one of those games, hard to find, hard to stop playing. It's truly interesting, playing the part of a dog who poops and farts. lol It's not as bad as you might think. Parent's don't worry, it's not a gross game. It's really cute. People of all ages will love being man's best friend, if only in a game. ;)

One of the Best PS2 games I ever played!!!

This is a great game! If you ever wondered what it's like to be dog, here's the answer. It's perfect! You go to the bathroom, bark, growl, do tricks, and beg! You can even steal! It's great! It is very simple to escape the dogcatcher. Just run like heck! PS Do NOT start too many "jobs" at once. It gets overwelming. Right now I'm at the snowy part. That part is a pain!

Good to have a Dog's Life

This is a really good game for people who love animals. Its lot of fun and the levels are huge! Sometimes it takes a while to beat a leval but not that long. This game was so good I wish they would make a dogs life 2. DONT'T WORRY ABOUT THE TEEN RATING! I think the only reason its teen is because Jake, the dog you play, can pee and poop. Also maybe because there is adult humor. In this game you can play games with other dogs and also play them, do tricks, look for bones, shake cats and chickens, chase sheep, and a lot more! The graphics are really really good too! the only bad thing is the game is too short in my opinion. Maybe its because I beat it in two days almost without stopping. But its long enough. You should defiently buy it, its worth the cheap cost of $20. But anyway its the best ps2 game ever!

Dog's Life... Great Life

Dog's Life is a great game. I found out about this game in Game Informer and I knew I had to get this game.

You play as Jake the Dog. He is on a rescue mission to find his dog girl friend named Daisy. Jake has to go to three cool places. his home town, Clarksville. Lake Miniwawa, a Ski Resort, and Boom City, a busy city where Daisy was taken

On Jake's journey, he needs the help of all the dogs in these three areas. You can control a bunch of different breeds of dogs in all three areas. Some examples are a German Shepered, Pug, St. Bernard, Doberman, and more!

The Graphics aren't the best, but there not the worst. Jake has a very funny sarcastic attitude and is really cool.

I love this game and I am thirteen years old. i've probablly played this game 3 times. I am a huge Dog lover and to have a Dog game is the best.
