yes, this is a great game. i was very dissapointed when i got my new computer and found that my Dogz 4 game would not work on it because i had Windows XP. But Dogz 5 is the perfect alternative. Now, although there are a lot of wonderful new things about Dogz 5, there are some drawbacks. i have listed the pros and cons:

Pros:

* 5 new breedz!!!! - golden retrievers, German shepherds, jack russel terriers, papillons, and pugs
* Dogz can have up to 4 puppiez at a time!!!
* New playscenes - haunted house, fantasy castle, Asian temple, and Salon, which includes the bathtub and clothes closet
* Nursery - a room only availiable to momz with babiez
* all new toyz for your petz to play with!!!
* you get to take all the toys you own to any scene and play with as many you want!!!
* 5 mini games!!!
* Weather and day/night cycles!!! the weather changes, so it could be sunny one minute, or raining or snowing the next!!! and you can adjust how fast you want it to go from day to night!!!
* new and improved graphics!!!!
* you have a second chance to take care of one of your neglected petz that has run away
* many new clothes items!!!

Cons:

* no toy closet :-( , you have to find the toyz or earn them by winning mini games
* some of the mini games are hard, and you sometimes get a toy you already have
* no more adopting pigz, but there is a host character pig in the back yard
* no backrounds already made to choose from when creating a custom playscene

as you can see, there are waaaaaaaaaaay more pros than cons, so this game is definatley worth it.

A Grreat Improvement!!!

Okay, here it goes. Petz 5 is by far the best of all the other Petz Cd's!
The breedz are wonderful, especially my little German Shephard puppy named Rochelle. Here are the names of all the new breedz (sorry if I'm missing any) German Shephard, Pappilion, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell, and Pug. I haven't got Catz 5 yet, but I here there is some wonderful new breedz in that game too.
There are over 100 new toys you can win and find in playscenes (you store all of them in the Supply Case) The mini-games can be challenging, but sooner or later you'll win them. My favorite game so far is Rock-Paper-Scissors. Other people might find the mini-games childish, but even my grandma loves them.
There are tons of new clothes too. In some Playscenes, there is even a Host Character (for example, Jolly Roger, a full-grown Bulldog comes out to play with your dogz in South Seas Island) Some people have been spreading rumors that you don't need to feed your dogz on Petz 5. NOT TRUE!!! In fact, there's even a medicine bottle where you can apply medicine to your pet's food and water if they are sick.
If your petz run away, you can go to the Adoption Center and check out the brown bulletin board to see if anyone has found your pet. If there is a note saying your pet has been found you are given one more chance to give your dog/cat a good life.
I give this game five stars, two thumbs up, and four paws up.

More infromation on Dogz 5

If you've played Dogz/Catz 4, you'll understand how much fun this game is. You can breed your Petz, enter them in Showz, and teach them tricks. Now that Petz 5 is coming out, everyone that has played Petz is excited. Now, there are day and night cycles, weather effects, petz have litterz up to 4 kittens/puppies, and there are five new breeds! What are the new breeds? Well, for sure are Pugz and Papillonz for the Dogz, but no word yet on Catz. There is a posibility that another Dog might be Colliez. Of course, there will also be Mini-Games and more toys and clothes and playscenes. Currently, there is a really nice playscene out of the "Grooming Palor", now you can bathe your Petz! I highly reccomend you buy this game. Visit my petz site, ... to check out some of my Dogz and adoptions, and go to Petz.com to see updates! Thanks, hope you have a wonderful time with Petz 5!

this is NOT a review just here to post info.

Hello everybody! I have just purchased and have recieved the game and have liked it alot. I disagree with all the negative reviews being written about Petz 5. People should at least respect that the men and women who made the game put alot of effort and arm grease into creating this product. The mini-games are cool, and challenging. They may be hard at first, but you have to keep on practicing to get it right. All the host characters crack me up. Especially the bulldog with the beard dressed in a pirate outfit that comes out to play with your petz when you go to the playscene "South Seas Island" There are sooo many cool clothes and toys, including: A lion outfit, a zebra outfit, an elephant outfit (includes ears and trunk !lol!) denim pants, black leather pants, an Arabian princess outfit, Santa Clause outfit, a cool plaid vest, a turban, many more pants, T-shirts, and socks. Unicorn doll, coool leprechaun doll, a fish bowl with real fish you can feed, a nightlight that plugs in real electrical outlets in the Kitchen and Living-Room. Remember, there's so much much more!! I give this game five stars, two thumbs and four paws up. Keep it up P.F Magic and Ubisoft!

This game rocks!!!!!!!!!

I'll admit it, I was a bit iffy about this one. I figured that Dogz 5 couldn't be THAT much better than Dogz 4... but guess what? It is!
Here there's all new breedz such as pugz, golden retrieverz, papillionz, etc. And this cool stuff like mini-games- I love the agility one... sooo cool! Then, when your dogz breed, you don't have to take tons of time to make the litterz- they already have them! Sometimes you get only 2 pupz but hey it's better than one, right?
I absolutely LOVE this game and I'm working on an all new Dogz 5 website for it called... Wooferz Kennelz!...

Improving on Dogz 4

Dogz 5 is a great game for dog lovers, especially if you don't have a real dog. The game, along with the previous versions, is not a very realistic simulation, though, as a lot parts are left out. A few of these are: your Dogz don't go to the bathroom, you are not required to walk your Dogz, and your Dogz will not have more than four puppies. But, the game is still very fun. A few reviewers have mentioned that there isn't a toy closet anymore. Actually, your supply case becomes a portable toy closet, and works just the same way; except you have to win a lot of the toys in mini-games. While the environments and toys have better graphics, the Dogz themselves have the same graphics from Dogz 4. In fact, the game has a lot of the features from Dogz 4, such as the playscenes, costumes, and playscene editor. There are 5 new breeds, which are: Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Jack Russel Terrier, Pappillion, and Pug. There are a bunch of new costumes, including the ones the hosts wear in Dogz 4. There are a few new playscenes, including Salon (which is where the clothes closet is), Asian Temple, Haunted Mansion, and Fantasy Castle. There are now day and night cycles, which can be set to your computer's clock, and weather effects. There are some new toys. There are now mini-games for you and your Dogz to play. You get your toys from the mini-games. And now your Dogz can have litters of 1-4 puppies. One downside is that you can no longer adopt Pigz. If you own a previous version of Dogz, you can import your Dogz to Dogz 5, making your older version pretty much obsolete (unless you want Pigz). I would recommend this game to dog lovers and owners of previous Dogz games.

Grrrreat Game!!!!

Hello everybody! I have just recieved Dogz 5 in the mail and have been playing it since!!! I think it is a grrreat improvement than the other Petz gamez. Okay, here it goes:

1. Breedz- Definitely an improvement. Updated graphics make your petz seem real and lifelike. There's also five new breedz: Pappilion, Golden Retreiver, German Shephard, Pug, and Jack Russell. I have a Jack Russell named Nina and boy is she such a sport! She's already an adult and has lost all the spots on her back. Her ears are more a dark-brown than the honey-hazel ears she had when she was a puppy.

2. Toyz/Clothez- I was surprised when I went into the Salon to go dress Nina for the first time. There's many more cool clothez than there were in Petz 4 including: An Arabian Princess outfit, denim jeans, black leather jeans, a cooool red-plaid vest and so much much more! The toyz look like they are real and the fish in the fishbowl are definetely cool. You even have to feed them with Fish food!

3. Playscenes- All the Playscenes are purty cool, including the South Seas Island. Your Petz can dig up bottles with messages in them ,gold doubloons, and pirate treasure. Also there is a Playscene editor where you can make your own Playscenes.

4. Host Characters- The Host characters are so funny! Misha, the Jack Russell that comes out to play with your petz at the Circus grounds cracks me up. She keeps doing backflips and ends up landing on her back. The pig who comes out in the Backyard snorts up a storm and she's best friends with Nina.

5. Mini-Games- The Mini Gamez are a bit challenging at first but you have to keep on practicing to get it just right. You win toyz at the mini-gamez and you can store them in the Supply Case. Speaking of Supply Case, you have to store all the toyz you find in Playsccenez and such in the Supply Case. There's no Toy Closet. I enjoy that feature cause it kept annoying me you had to keep going back to that room to get toyz in previous gamez. Now in Petz 5 you have all the toys right there ready to play with your Petz.

Overall, Petz 5 is a great game, for young and old. It's worth every penny you spend on it.

Dogz 5 is a wonderful game that I got a few weeks ago. I currently have about 50 dogz, of all different breeds. To me, this game is lots of fun, but my mom and some of my friends think it's boring. It kind of depends on what you like. If you like creator games like Roller Coaster Tycoon or Zoo tycoon, or if you like control games like the Sims, then this is the game for you.
If you do get bored with taking your dogs out and feeding, watering, and playing with them, there are a bunch of mini games in different play scenes like the Scarab Crunch in Arabia, Tic-Tac-Toe in the Wild West, or Simon Says in the Haunted Mansion.
After three or four days, when your dogz have become adults, you can choose to breed them. Making them fall in love is kind of tricky, but the puppies are really cute! Unless, that is, you breed a Poodle with a Chihuahua like I did once. The puppies weren't really what you'd normally call "cute."
A friend of mine has Dogz 4, but I think Dogz 5 is WAY better. It may not look very good, but it's great. It's worth the price.

BEST Game Ever!!!

I have played petz4 for about three years and it is still alot of fun to play! In petz4 there are Bulldogs, chihuahuas, dachshunds, dalmations, great danes, labradors, mutts, poodles, scotties, and sheepdogs! Petz5 will be adding the pug, golden retriever, papilion, german shepered, and jack russel. But dont worry, you do not need petz4 to get petz5.
There are ALOT of new toys in petz5 and you have to learn games to get them all. Your petz start as puppies and grow to adults. Once they are adults your petz can fall in love and have a litter of 1-4 puppies. Each puppie in the litter is unique which makes the game even more fun! It is like having a new house because there are so many rooms to go to in the house and then you can also travel places with your petz. But if you want to see pictures of the game go to petz...
