Great game, but PF magic was better

I love the idea of multiple litterz, and all the new stuff, but 1,2, and 3 were better, quality wise. The animation was much better, and I like the "toy closet" instead of the idea of "'fun' mini games." They wern't fun. When I was little, I got catz 3 and I was sad that it didn't work on Windows XP. If you have Windows 95/98, get catz 3, but if you have XP or ME, this game is your best bet.

Not Bad At All

This is the first Petz CD I got. When we first got it, it was pretty cool, but it gets sort of boring after you know everything you can do. The mini-games are good ways to get toyz. Some of them are too easy. You can cheat on one of the games, and that needs some work. The help file needs some work, and they need more realistic weather effects, for example, it can snow in the middle of summer. The pets are too wide-eyed, and weird things can happen. The graphics will also need to be updated.

Those are some improvments I think are needed. I don't know what Petz 4 is like, but I know this one is probably a big improvement. You can adopt petz in the adoption center, and bring them to other places, even other countries (virtually, of course). You can feed your pet, groom it and play with it. Neglected and/or abused petz will run away (into a RunawayPetz folder). It is a lot more interactive than most pet sites. You can even interact with other Petz ownerz on Petz.com.

One good thing about this game is you can not only play with Petz, but can also show off your petz using the Petz Publisher. It is a simple way to make personal web pages about your petz. Another good thing about this game is that not only can you play in playscenes with your petz, you can also create them. However, when you make one, take into account that it can't have weather or day and night effects. Day and night effects are also cool things about this game.

I think that Ubi Soft could add more cool things to this game, as well as fix the downfalls. They could name the town the petz live in (Petzia is one of my ideas) and add a Petz newspaper. Overall I would say this is a good game for kids.

Nice game for kids tht don't have pets.... and people who love dogs

This game is very good and easy to understand. I love to breed dogs. You can have host characters. ex: pig (in backyard), if you do not want these hosts around you can just click the no hosts button (i forgot what its called because i hardly use it).
The reason why i gave it 4 stars is because sometimes it can stop working because of bugs. But i THINK you can fix that. You can get items buy playing games. Some of them are hard but after a while you get the hang of them. Basicly I think anybody who has been thinking about this game, i think you should give it a try.

BEST GAME IN THE WORLD!

My kids LOVE this computer game! They have been asking for it for a long time and I am thrilled that I was able to get it at such a great price.

OK, well most of the reviews on here do not show Dogz 5's real potential. So, I will give it to you now...
Dogz 5 is, as you may know, a virtual pet game where you can feed, play, breed, and interact with your petz. This is what the game was made to be. But, thanks to some talented petz lovers out there, it has become a whole new world. Many, many sites are out there just for this game, and they offer:

1. Downloadable Toys. You download these off the site, then put them in your toys folder- now your petz can play with tons of new play items!

2. Downloadable Clothes. These are fun! You can download many different kinds of clothes, from party dresses to new bows, and then drag them into your clothes folder so your petz can where them.

3. Downloadable Breedz. This is the best! You can download new breedz, realistic ones that look like their real-life counterparts, or purhaps wierd fantasies like a dragon or monster. I'm sure that almost every dog breed has been hexed by somebody. Here is the site I recomend for breedz:
http://supernova.lokatt.se/

OK, now I will show you what you can DO with your petz. What? You can only feed and play with them? No way! How about some shows? Shows were you compete with real petz and people from all over the world? Sure. All you have to do is find a site that offers shows (will have link below), you read the rules, take a show-pose pic of your pet (many offer examples), and e-mail it. Check back to see the winners! Also, in a show we petz people use points and ribbons and special titles like in the real pet world. OK, we got the shows, what else? Well, there is something very special about this game- the ability to breed and have larger litters. Look through some sites on the bottom of this review, and you'll get the picture. Set up your own kennel/cattery, breed some fine, beautiful petz, then get involved in the petz world by entering shows and contacting other petz fans on their sites to find out how to take litter requests and adopt off your petz. It is a bit confusing at first, but after you figure it out you'll never want to look back! But, of coarse, I need to talk to you about the down sides to the game that other reviews have mentioned. First off, I want you all to know that out of all my time owning Dogz 5, I have never had any bugs other than these:

1. An issue with litters. If I remember correctly (this was a while ago), I would have a litter, only to have my petz game crash. I figured out that it was only that one of the pups had some sort of error, so if I got rid of that file my game would work again. I have no problems with this now.

2. A pug bug. This is just a simple error where when the pug pants, a little red ball is on the end of it's tongue. It's not that big of a deal, to me at least.

3. Also, when I had a litter and the pups grew up, somehow a would have an exact copy of one or more of the litter. So, some of the puppies would have clones. It didn't effect my game, and I found that if I got of Dogz 5 then got back on, the copies would disapear.

Anywho, I sudjest that you get this game, or at least look at one or more sites in this link before you decide: http://breedzfind.lokatt.se/dogz.htm
Look at Supernova!

dogz5 was a nice game to play for a week or so.when you frist get it and you start playing it its a fun game.but when you play it a lot it gets so BORING!the only things you do is play,feed,bath,teach,and do little games.unlike the game babyz you play,feed,bathe,change diapers,teach babyz how to walk and talk,you can also talk to them with a microphone.so i think babyz is a better game then dogz5.i hope this helps you.

Overall, this program was badly written. I had problems with it from the start. Once I got it loaded and played with it for a bit, I discovered that I couldn't bring up the screen saver options menu directly from the game. I would click on it, but it never came up--rather I got an nasty window saying there was a fault and that the game would close. Also, the game was very slow loading--that is, if it loaded at all. Most of the time it got stuck in the start up screen. And the problem is not with my computer, since I just got it and it has a fast processor and ample space on the hard drive. Finally, I got fed up with the whole thing and tried to uninstall it, but the game wasn't listed on my programs list to uninstall--it had installed itself on the drive somehow and wasn't recognized by the computer as a program that it could remove. I had to find a roundabout program online to uninstall this one game and it was only a week after I received it. Way too much effort for something that is supposed to be simple entertainment. I had Dogz 3 and loved it--UBI should have kept it basic like the previous versions and just added more toys and dogs. Period. Don't waste your money like I did. Get yourself a real dog.

GRRRRRREAT GAME

Totally awesome game. It rocks. You can have litters!!!! the only thing that is wrong is when it says "Your Petz are expecting a new PUPPY." It should be puppies. But sometimes you only get one :( I give this game a four because if you REALLY need the love potion and you get a toy you have gotten 100 times already.
