I first got Dogz 3 and I liked it so I decided to get Dogz 5. I got bored of it after about 2 days. The Dogz are kind of cute, but they look nothing like real dogs. The dogs react the same way to all of the toys. If you put them on any ledge they will get very sad and scared. They can't tell the differnce between being brushed or bathed. They refuse to drink any water(so in real life they would be dead). Though it is fun to see what the new born puppys look like. And my dogs always fought with each other. I think that kids ages 5-8 would probably enjoy this game. But kids older then that should get nintendogs.

graphics-B(the dogs look really unrealistic)
sound-B+(the dogs barks are pretty bad but the background noises are good)
gameplay-B( there isn't much of a point to the game and there isn't a whole lot to do)

closing comments:overall I give Dogz 5 a B+. It is a fairly good game for younger kids.

not the best petz game...

ubi did a very poor job of debugging this program. it hardly runs and it crashes a lot. none of the games work and it takes up a ton of disk space. it installs extra stuff that it shouldn't w/o prompting (direct x, acrobat, who knows what else...) petz 3 is the best version imo, if you have win 95/98, get p3 instead.

I recently ordered my Petz 5 games, i was really excited as i have played other Petz games in the past. the day after i had ordered my games i was very anxious to get them so to pass time i read up on reviews about Petz 5 and to my horror everyone was saying how bad it was! i seriously thought about sending them back. I was so relieved and so excited this isn't a horrible game at all, if anything it's better than Petz 4! Yes, there are a few things that aren't the same; they don't need walking and they don't make a mess when they go to the toilet but I think Ubi Soft wanted to tone down things a bit in the world of 'Petz' as younger children are playing it now. Yes, this version of Petz is aimed at young children with its fun little games and clean hygiene the animals have. Nether the less this game is still very fun and there's no chance of you getting bored with it as you can win up to over 100 toys and other misc objects. P.s Although you cannot adopt 'Pigz' you will however see them from time to time coming to play with your petz.

It's ok

This game is really really cool. You can adopt petz that you have to take care of. You have to feed them, play with them and give them lots of attention. It's SO fun. And you can go to lots of different places such as, Arabia, an Asian Temple, and the South Seas. Also, they can have up to 4 puppyz! But, there are problems. When you're starting the game, it might freeze up and you have to figure out a way to fix it. and in the mini games, you keep getting toys you already have, over and over again. And when your dogz have puppyz, the mom and the puppyz have to stay in the nursury for 7 launch days. And not even the dad can come and visit! So I would buy it if you're willing to face the dowsides, but otherwise, I would but Dogz 3 or 4 instead.

i think the game dogz5 is a great and cool game to play. i have got over 5 pet dogs on the game. i would give it a 10 out of 10.
i want to get catz5. i have all ready had a litter of golden retriver dogs on the game. i really do think the game rocks.

Disappointing.

In my opinion, this series really peaked with Petz 3 and 4. This new entry is a marked decline from the great third and fourth entries, and pretty much ended my long-lasting enthusiasm for raising adorable virtual doggies and kitties.

I was pleased with the new breeds, playscenes, and all the other new features. As is standard for Petz, you can import your beloved babies from previous games, and I loved the new "litterz" (we in the "Petz Community" had been counting down the days to that, believe me). If Ubisoft had stopped there, I might have still been blithely chatting with other fans, surfing the many download sites, and all that other stuff. But they had to add another feature--one that utterly killed off my interest.

You see, although there are a number of new "toyz" in the game, they are not available to you at the start. In fact, not even older toyz from previous entries are available. Instead, you must earn them one at a time, by completing a number of frustrating and repetitive challenges. And by "frustrating", I mean that a good number of them are near-impossible.

After a few days of working endlessly just to get my toy closet to where it was at when I was playing Petz 4, I got tired of this game and shelved it permanently. But hey, maybe I just grew out of this franchise. If you really love Petz, go ahead and give it a whirl--you'll probably like it at least okay. Me, I'm gonna sit back and wait for Nintendogs.

I wouldn't use it as a coaster!

this game is absolutly AWFUL!! and i can almost guarentee that anyone who likes it never played petz 3.. the best of all of the petz games when they were actually made by p.f. magic.. ubisoft has butchered a wonderful thing and i'm almost ready to take these cds use them as frisbees.. the playscenes are juvinile.. the mini-games are ... the nursery and litters are a sham and the game constantly crashes.. i wouldn't suggest you buy this or catz 5 for any other reason than to throw them in the fire so no one else has to use them..

the new edition

I was surprised that Dogz 5 came out, I'd been a fan since the original Dogz and it had taken a 2 year or so break.
But, the game is pretty worth it, the scenes are cool, some people don't like that it loads too slow, but mine is fine, I've had no problems.
The annoying thing is the host characters, when your teaching your petz a trick or trying to get them to fall in love one comes baralling out and knocks everything around.
I love all the new toys, though some seem pretty pointless ([stink]as the Christmas Balls... there is no Christmas Tree).
The new breedz are cool, and the new litters idea is also cool.
