Waste of time...

This is the biggest waste of time impulse purchase I have seen in a while. It's so sad that people have time to waste on a fake puppy when there are thousands of animals in shelters all around the US looking for a loving home.

The first pet simulator that really explores pet ownership

First off, some of the reviews on this product is astonishing, this game's rating is being brought down because of senseless opinions, not on gameplay. This is a game, it has nothing to do with adopting homeless pets from the shelter, someone could say the same thing about the Sims. So if you played the Sims should you go out and adopt a homeless person or adopt a child? This game was created to bring joy to the person who plays it, I would even recommend it for anyone who is thinking about owning a pet, but don't want to get in over their heads. Some people are allergic to dogs, so this is a great way to "pretend". It is a very innovative and thoughtful game, I see that a lot of time and study of canine personality went into the development process. I think this game is wonderful and I hope to see more from this genre of games, you definitely will not be disappointed!

Fun, entertaining, great for your kids who aren't ready for a real dog!

I love this game! Remember the virtual pet craze a few years back? When everyone had these little black and white egg shaped keychain thingies? Nintendogs is like that, but a hundred times better!

Now you have can raise realistic 3-d dogs that need cleaning, bathing, walking, playing, and more.. They even go potty! If it were only this easy to clean up after a real dog... I really like how you use the ds's microphone to teach the dogs tricks. You can use the touch screen to pet your dog and to give him a bath. It's simple, nonviolent fun that teaches a little bit of responsiblity.

The good:

Great graphics, realistic dog actions, fun game, inovative use of the microphone and touch screen--good clean fun! I can't stress enough how great it is to see that most DS games are games that I'm happy to let my neice and nephews play. Thanks Nintendo!

the bad:

I'm an adult gamer and I think I'll tire of it easily, but my 11 year old neice loves it. I guess if you're not into having a virtual pet, the game will lose interest.

P,S. In the other review, the person who said wait for the PSP version doesn't know what he's talking about. This will be a DS only game! Nintendo making games for the PSP-ha, ha, ha!

Great

This is the best ds game ever! You can raise your own virtual dog. I've played all four and my favorite is Nintendogs:Chihuahua and friends. If you're sitting somewhere reading this,what are you doing? Go out and buy it. :)

Great Game, tons of fun!

Whatever that kid with the title speechless is talking about, he's completely wrong. He probably has a psp and is just jealous :) You blame us for playing with imaginary characters, newsflash ALL games have imaginary characters. your probably a REALLY lonely person and have never had a dog, so that's why you probably don't think it is fun. But this is just as fun as playing with a real dog (without the drool and smell) I mean how cool is it that the dog actual listens sto your commands, and actually goes after the frisbree you throw, and smile when you pet it, and there eyes follow your stylus when you move it. This has to be the coolest game invited, with the touch screen and microphone it's actually like YOU are in the game (you can't say that can ya PSP?) So don't listen to the other lame gamer's reviews and buy this game, it rocks! (I'm going to get daschund though.)

I have owned my japanese import version of this game since first week of June, and even without the english, I can play it and it's probably the best portable game I've ever played, possibly the best computer/video game I've played, with the exception of starcraft.

More importantly, I use it as an aid to make kids stop crying at the hospital, and let me tell you, this game stops kids COLD, when they see it at work. The first time you see a 14 month old kid start petting the dog through the window, it's pretty amazing... Same with the bubble blowing.

Good dog, bad Nintendo

Uhhhh, hello! This is a world not (yet if this kind of crap keeps up.) run by machines. Get a real dog, whoever buys this game must be lonely. I have two real dogs, and it's much more satisfying to play with a REAL dog than a stupid AI controlled one. Sorry to say but, get a life Nintendo.

this games is only for nintendo

I dont know why people are making such a fuss about this game taking away from real dogs. This game is NOT made to make you neglect or replace a real dog, its JUST A GAME. There are about 3 reviews saying that you should just buy a real dog instead, but what if your family lives in an apartment where pets arnt allowed, or your allergic to dogs? Also once again this game isnt made to replace real dogs. I own both this game AND a real dog, and by no means am i neglecting my dog. I still take my real dog for walks and play with him and feed him, but i still think nintendogs is a really great innovative game. I know that this game doesnt compare to owning a real animal, but then again what pet simulation does? There are tons of pet simulations out there including nano pets, the monster rancher games, tomagotchis, those robot dogs things... i could name more if i had to. The only difference between this game and the others, is that it is on the ds and lets you interact more with your dog, so people should be praising it not saying that its not the same as a real dog, because its not SUPPOSED to be the same, just very similar, and nintendogs accomplishes that perfectly.
