Generally unfavorable - based on 4 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: They're cute, they're cuddly, colorful and fun... they're the Animates! Raise your very own Animate from a small baby hatchling to a full-grown, mature Animate. Make sure that your new friend is both healthy and happy by playing with it, feeding it, training it and more. If you're up for a challenge, raise multiple Animates all at once. Only you know what's best for your new friend and if you don't, make sure that you pay close attention to the signs that it gives you! [DreamCatcher Interactive] Expand

  1. While snuggling up to a handheld video game system may still not be better than cuddling a real kitten, kids are a lot more likely to find success convincing their parents to let them take home a budget priced DS title like Animates over the real-deal.
  2. Between an utter lack of interesting activities, ridiculously slow pace, and frequent technical problems, AniMates is one to avoid.

    It's really just awful. There's no reason for anyone to go anyway near a copy of Animates, which, if you weren't convinced of enough already, also features a couple of programming glitches that can cause your creature to clip through parts of the environment.
