As you can see in my 'Now Playing' list, I have purchased The Dog Island for the Wii.

*waits for possible jokes and mockery to cease*

Now hold on, it's not what you think. This 'kiddy' game has earned decent reviews and has been enjoyed by many players, wether they want to admit it or not. I have lacked something in gaming; perhaps an epic adventure, perhaps a really addictive game that is not Brawl or Guitar Hero. The Dog Island seems like the right game for me; I love dogs, I actually like sad stories, and I need to play something different, something not-hardcore and non-casual; something 'slow', if you will.

I've been very busy, but I finally got the game in the mail today and played for about an hour. So far so good; the story has kicked in; basically you're a dog with a sick brother or sister that needs help from a doctor that lives far away, in The Dog Island. I'm on my way there; I picked a Siberian Husky, because they look a lot like my favorite animal, the wolf. The game's controls are intuitive, and the soundtrack is quite good; the graphics are crude, but that's fine, as long as the dogs are all cute-looking :) My only gripe so far is the camera; it's a bit clunky most of the time, at least so far.

Every now and then I'll continue to blog about The Dog Island, just to spread the word on a game that many might overlook; it could turn out to be quite enjoyable :)
