    The interaction with the virtual dog is done extremely well on the Nintendo DS, and even if you pride yourself in your masculinity it's hard to resist these adorable critters romping around on the handheld.

    What Nintendogs does, it does very well. It’s a brilliant design that’s instantly appealing, and it truly can’t be done on any platform but the Nintendo DS.

    Dalmatian and Friends is still a charming, endearing game, though it's also essentially the same game that was released in previous versions.

    It's sad to have to say that, since we still think Nintendogs is an amazing achievement and a great game - it's just not a great game for very long. In other words, if you're a grown-up, if there are limits to your patience and your time, and if you want a game that's not just for Christmas, it's probably not a good idea to pick Nintendogs.

    I just lost this game somewhere and made me cry. I wonder how my Chili (my golden retriever) is coping with no food and no bath. I just can stand it.

    This game has the BEST graphics! and that is a must, so you can see all the dog's details and cuteness up close! I got bored with it after a while, but a few months later im hooked on it again! If you loves dogs, Get it.… Expand

    Nintendogs is a great game but like many people I also think the dogs should grow up and another thing is that I'd like to be able to breed them and they also never die as well which is a downpour as you can inly keep 8 dogs and if you're really attached it's hard to donate them.… Expand

    The graphics are awesome and the game is really fun the first day , but it gets so boring after a while you can only take your dog out once an hour and compete 3 times a day.… Expand
