Good for a little while

First off lets start with the gameplay, when this game starts it seem to be very fun. soon after saying to your puppy sit for the twentieth time the appeal really seems to wear off in my opinion. There are a lot of options for your puppy but its quite disappointing that the game has only three competitions. you can take your puppy for walks which will also get tiresome after you do it for the tenth time. You have to feed the animal like you would a real dog and all the other things like wash it.

Graphically the game is quite good and shows the graphical capabilities of the Nintendo DS handheld. other than te puppies animations the backgrounds can be quite dull.

Audiowise the game does nothing out of the ordinary but the sound of the puppies yelping and barking is quite good, the music does little but loop in the background when you take your dog for a walk or when you are in a competition.

Value wise the game has one thing going for it that you can unlock all 18 puppies in each and every version but after a while this game wears thin and has no appeal.

What can i say in summarising, the only people i can recommend this game to is people that cant have dogs for one reason or another other than that get yourself a real dog.
