I actually didn't buy Nintendogs, it's funny how I came across it, I'd rather not say though. Didn't know whether I should have played it or not. I gave the game a shot. Oh well on with the review.

Story: Hmmmmm..... No story here, just a man, or woman, with a dog, not interesting enough to write a story.

Gameplay: When I heard they were making a Nintendo DS game about dogs, I honestly believed that it would be a dumb idea. But actually when I played it, the gameplay was very satisfying. Being able to raise your own dog, feed it, nurture it, teach it tricks, take it out for a long stroll, these features helped contribute to the overall greatness of the game. So many things to do, and collect, this game is perfect for those who like to play for long periods of time and short periods of time. For those people who had never had a pet because of parents, this is your calling card.

Graphics: For a DS game, the graphics were well done. The movement, the gestures, everything that the dog did seemed very convincing and real. The only thing that caught my eye was that during walks the leash on the dog would go through it. Besides this, the graphics were wonderful.

Sound: The sound that the dogs make sound so lifelike. The whimpering, the barking, all the sound is realistic. There is a lack of music though in many parts of the game. But it's okay, since the game is SUPPOSE to be realistic it wouldn't make sense if music started playing from nowhere RIGHT?

Overall: Nintendogs is a great game, especially for those who dream to have a real pet but can't, give the game a try, how do you know if you like it if you don't try it right?
