BonusStage
Sony has a great potential franchise here if they continue to polish and refine the gameplay and visuals with each installment, and I’d recommend they take this style of top-down action to the home consoles as well, adding even more features.
Worth Playing
It's nice to see that this level of complexity is seeping downward through the genres and markets because it only means that games will be that much deeper and complex as these savvy generations grow older and demand more from their games.
Gamer's Hell
Despite the low-level evolution of its RPG elements, Petpet Adventures still plays well, and its visuals and sound complement an easily accessible gameplay mechanic.
IGN
The many different details that affect the Petpets are very interesting and in a bigger adventure they could have had a bigger impact. Many of the pieces are in place, they just need a home.
GameSpot
Its cute and fluffy appearance is deceiving, as The Wand of Wishing turns out to be less accessible than the action RPGs it is derived from.
DarkStation
The popular cyberpets community gets into the gaming scene with this typical action RPG. Decent offering, but plain to see it's meant for the younger gamers.
Gaming Age
It provides an adult style of gameplay with but set in a non-adult world that most parents could find little to complain about. However, for the older gamers out there, Neopets won’t serve as more than a passing distraction at best.
