Review: Nintendogs

I decided to get a new game for my D.S. The Nintendogs game sounded like a lot of fun. I got the Dachshund version, because that was the only version with instructions at GameStop when we went there. By the way, ALL the dog breeds can be unlocked in any version! So to get all the breeds you only need one game.

Later that day I bought Lucy, a Shih Tzu. She was very realistic. It was kind of annoying that before you could play a game or go for a walk, you had to teach the dog to come when it was called, and sit. In Nintendogs, the dogs respond to your voice, but they won't obey every time, especially at the beginning. Lucy will sit, lie down, and shake.

As soon as I had enough game money,  my brother wanted a dog. We got Ed, a beagle. When you get a second dog you don't have to train it right away, but Ed will come when he is called.

You can play three games with each dog every day. Lucy is great at agility, and Ed is learning disc. Neither one is good enough for obedience. Every 30 minuets you can walk some where, to a discount store, to the park, or the agility gym.

This is the game I bought.

As you train and play with your dog, you can earn points. Get enough points, and you can unlock a new dog breed.

If you don't play every day, the dog will get very hungry, thirsty, and dirty. You can fix this by setting your D.S. clock backwards!

The training can be annoying, as well the fact that you can't play or walk as much as you want, But overall this is a good game.
