I begged my parents for Nintendogs, especially dalmation and friends, and it was so worth the stuipid begging!
The game begins where you go to a kennel and pick what type of dog you want, and what its personality is. You will return "home" with your new pet, and you will get to know it and fall in love with it hopefully as fast as I did. Soon it will be time to name your dog, and once you do, it will call whenever you call it.
But you can't even feed your dog or go anywhere until you teach your dog to sit. Once you do that, the game unfolds. You can earn money by competitions and by selling some of the items you pick up on walks. You can by a new "house" and as your trainer points increase, so does the Nitendogs world around you. But the game gets boring after maybe five months [as in my case] or a year, or maybe even a month for some adventurous gamers. I just found the dogs so real and even a little loving, but soon I went to other games. But when I came back, I missed my dogs and they missed me. The magic was there again. Its not a game you can overplay, because if you overplay, you'll wind up wanting to throw it at the wall.
Great Fun, won't wash out brain!

This game is a lot of fun to play. If you are not allowed to get a dog, this game is the closest you'll get! The graphics and movements of the dogs are scary realistic. You can earn money from competions. With that money, you have to buy supplies. Also, if you get enough money, you can upgrade your house from a cozy condo to an Asian themed get-a-way. Also, buy entering your dogs in competitions, (and winning) you get trainer points. Enough tranier points will unlock dogs in the kennel. This means that if your game came w/ 6 different types of dogs, now you have more types to choose from! The damation version is the best, in my opinion. The dalmations are so adorable, and the other breeds are cute also. I would highly reccomend this product if you want to have a great time. The dogs are so cute, that you have to take care of them, or you'll feel bad for them. Good Luck~
I think it's great!

This game is adorable. From what I have observed this game is no different from the other versions. They took the five most popular breeds from the other three, plus added the exclusive dalmation. Same items to find, same features, etc.
It's Fergalious

Im twelve. This game is so incredible when i told my cousin i got this game he said this game might be little kids but as soon as he saw me playing it and saw i was haveing alot of fun he got it. He got the Dashshund and friends however you spell it. We had this game fo two Months and have been playing it non stop. WE go into bark mode all the time. My dog(real one) gets curious when she looks and hears dogs on the screen. My cousin loves this game. I reconmend this game to anyone except adults because it's kinda wierd when they play this game. By the way my cousin is thirteen
Easy for kids who dont have english as their primary language

I purchased this game for my daughter and she loved it. She is 7 years old and she told me that is one of the most cool games (she has 15 titles) that i bought for her. She speaks portuguese only.
Great fun, but gets boring . . . .

When I got this game, I was thrilled and amazed at how complex it was: you can purchase your dog from a kennel, name it with your own voice, and talk to it, pet it, interact with it. But after awhile the game gets very repetitive. Feed. Water. Go for walk. Go to the park. Enter a competition. Feed. Water. Walk . . . you get the idea. As you earn "trainer points" (by interacting with your dog, winning competitions, etc.) you can unlock items and new breeds, which is pretty fun.
Overall, as a person who grooms, shows and helps breed dogs for a living, the realism in the game is fantastic, but it does get old!
Very fun game.

This game is very fun and enjoyable. It is great to see and buy the puppies in the kennel. It is also nice to jus play with them. It is also an adventure to get the money mostly by competitions. Also is is cool how you can train your pet. But the coolest part is how cool they are!!!!!!! But, if you are getting a nintendo DS and want to find a great game, this is the one! even if it is the only game, you will always have a friend(that is the puppy, ofcourse!!!!).
Cool Story

Whenever I went to GameStop to buy a Nintendo DS, all they had were used ones. Mymom, sister and the salesperson were trying to talk me out of it!!! I didnt want to wait until the brand new Lites were coming in, so we went to checkout, along with buying Nintendogs. It was taking a while to checkout, then a lady came in returning a brand new Nintendo DS LiteĀ®! I got that one instead, and for the rest of the day I played Nintendogs! The 1 and only part I don't like about it is that it was a little hard to understand at the start.I am very happy I got it and I am also about to go play it now!!! p.s. I give it a 2 thumbs up!
incredible unigue game

This game is so awsome. I love dogs so when i got my ds i also got this game. My favorite part of this game is the bark mode. If you have another person ner you that has a ds and nintendo dogs you can trade gifts or send little voice messages. You can also unlock many breeds if you dont have the dalmation edition you can go on the walk and find the firemans hat. I didnt want to unlock it so i got the dalmation edition. But when i first got it it kind of took me a long time to get because as of me and everyone else who is not a big fan of directions it takes a long time to figure out which button is which so after about a half hour of getting the game i finally gave in and read the directions! Any way this is a really awsome game, Buy it!!!!!!!!!
Great game

I've heard puppies barking in my house for 2 months now. My daughter loves this game. Even though her DS top screen stopped working after it dropped off a counter, it really hasn't stopped her from playing this game. Great game.
