Introduction
Dogz 2006 or Dogz 6 is the latest in Pet loving series by Ubisoft. This Pouch-loving simulator is taking on the big guy trying to out sell the popular Nintendo dogs on the Nintendo DS but following on its pervious series on the PC. Unfortunately Ubisoft have had problems. Keeping up the standards of There other popular older versions.

Graphics:

Characters (dogs) graphics:

· The Dogs in the game looks realistic. But some dogs have errors in there graphic. For example the Beagle Legs in the game look stick like and un-realistic. It's the small things like this that can spoil the graphic's in this game. But the Animation of the dogs is very good the trick you can do look very cool and everything is very similar or the same as a real dog.

Environment:

· The 3d environment of Dogz 6 is a basic home. With a kitchen for feeding and giving water to your dog. A Bathroom for grooming and cleaning your dog as well as a living room and a garden for Practicing and improving your Tricks and playing fetch (garden Only) For my standards this is far to little the older versions of this game with had beach, parks and Pirates ship and the choice of making your own scenes. Scenes like parks and Vets would make this game much better. The scenes have everything you would expect. The bathroom a bath and a toilet a sink E.C.T and the kitchen a fridge work surface and a dinning table and the garden is a large open space with a doghouse. The living room is a fireplace, sofa and a table.


Game play:

Tricks:

· A new feature to the game is tricks you teach your dog by clicking or drag body parts and rewarding him or her as you get a long. When learnt you can make your dog do a trick at the click of a button. And get a small amount of cash the tricks are everything from sit to hide to beg. Some more difficult then other to master. As I said in the graphic part of my review the graphic of the tricks are realistic and fun.

Talent shows and tip of the day:
· To gain cash there are the three Tt's tricks, talent shows and tip of the day, when you dog as learn some tricks you can enter him or her into a talent show the talent shows are judged against three computer dogs. In the talent show you are told to do a list of tricks in a time limit with you are judged on, then a grooming challenge and final free style were you rack up the points by do some of your own tricks. The Talent shows have three different skill levels. Tip of the day is a different method it gives you something to go with your dog for a small amount of cash. Trick is the final way of getting cash.Tell your dog to do a trick and you will get paid a fixed amount(5$)

Thing to Buy and upgrade:

· The list of thing to buy from the store have a section for water food and shampoo a section for toys and a update section for updating the house. As well as the final section which is a area for fashion items like Collars and hats. But there could be much more to offer if ubisoft had but more effort into the game. The only good thing you can buy is trick book with tell you how to do some for complex tricks.

Sounds and stat's

· There are not many sound effects in this game. Other than dogs barking there no music or licensed music. The stats show your dogs intelligence ,stamina agility and alertness which help you changes of getting you dog to do tricks and doing tricks improve them

Overall comment:

To be truthful ubisoft have taken a great idea and flushed it down the toilet the game could be very good but the lake of choice spoils it and create a mess of different ideas crammed into one place. And there all clash.
