Nintendogs + CatsSCORE: 85Nintendogs+ Cats givesfans what theyclamored for- the cats. Butquite a fewyears worthof water haspassed belowthe Nintendogsbridge.And Nintendodid some oddthings withthis sequel.Most noticeableis playersno longerpick out theirwalking path.Instead we goon a standardand rather boring walk. Yet thereare some neat new things likethe cats, lure competition, and ofcourse the 3D effects. This is theselling point for the Nintendo3DS. Families can get a game systemthat shows them 3D withoutthe glasses. I know some of ya’lldon’t care about glasses. But whatabout those of us who alreadywear prescription glasses? Howare we supposed to get that 3Deffect?The dogs and cats lookvery realistic in Nintendogs +Cats. I am a little dismayed thatthe cat animations mimic dogs,and not cats I have experiencedin real life.There areother realisticlookingaspects ofNintendogs+ Cats thatfamilies willenjoy andfind. Playingfrisbee witha dog is oneof the biggestone in myopinion.Theanimals inNintendogs+ Cats soundlike the reallive ones. Imarvel at howrealistic the barking is in thishand held video game. The musicfits the theme and adds to theoverall presentation of Nintendogs+ Cats. The only thing missingfrom Nintendogs + Cats isactually feeling the animal as youpet him orher.Nintendogs+Cats is agame thatyou playfor a fewminutesevery day.Playerscan only take their animal to somany competitions per day. Youstart with a dog and it takes along time to earn enough moneyfor a cat. So Nintendogs + Cats isreally done for dog lovers withcats sort of tacked on. I foundthis to be annoying.I spent my own money onNintendogs + Cats and feel I gotmy money’s worth. I am unhappythat there is not as much to do.Playing with a puppy can onlykeep the attention for so long.Doing the competitions are fun,but when your done for the day,you are done. There is entertainmentvalue in Nintendogs + Cats.It just seems less than the original.The foundational lessonin Nintendogs + Cats is how totake care of animals. If a childcan take care of an animal everysingle day in Nintendogs + Catsthen they should be able to takecare of one in real life. As a parentthis can be used as a test. Itcosts less than a real animal, andless hassle thanthe real thing.Trust me, wehave pets andyou know whowinds up cleaningup afterthem. Not thekids who wantedthe pet.- YolandaPublisher: NintendoSystem: Nintendo 3DSRating: ‘E’ - EveryoneGraphics: 85%Sounds: 88%Replay/Extras: 80%Gameplay: 81%Family Friendly Factor: 90%Family Friendly Gaming 32
