Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

My son had been banging on since Christmas that he wanted the new Nintendo DS Lite and seeing as his birthday was so soon after Christmas I decided to get searching on EBay to see if I could pick one up locally and yes success I got one for £90 including 3 games but the only problem was the game he wanted Nintendogs was not included. However when I collected the DS I noticed the guy had more games for sale so I asked if he had any more games for ...
...left. (Well don't ask don't get lol) The guy surprisingly said yes but the only one I am willing to let go for that is Nintendogs, perfect I thought as it's the most expensive one to buy in the shops at £29.99 so handed over the money and took it home to my very excited son. After he had played the other less interesting games he slid Nintendogs into the console and didn't put it down again until bedtime which is when I finally got to have a go ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

I splurged out on a copy of this with some money I got for my birthday, along with the New Super Mario Bros. and 42 All Time Classics games, all of them I saw as being games that it seemed most DS'ers can't be without (or should at least try once!). I've always thought Chihuahuas are particularly cute, so, thats the ahem in depth reasoning behind this particular purchase(!) Incase your not aware of the basic premise of this game, its basically a ...
...you then look after by petting and stroking and providing food, drink and toys and train, in its own room. You can even take it for walks outside (which is kind of cute, you can mark out the route to take in the pretend town using your stylus pen, with the puppy being walked with a hovering dog lead attached). When you first put the game cartridge in and start, your taken to the kennels where your given the chance to look at and interact with a ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

I enjoyed this game and although I've not played it for a while it's something that I could definately go back to. How the game begins The game starts where you go to the kennels to buy your first dog. When you get the dog home your first job is to name the dog and then say the name out loud into the microphone until the dog unstands this. It actually took me over an hour on my first dog to achieve this task, however when I've names other dogs they've ...
...to have a name that can be picked up clearly by the microphone e.g., Shakira, and not one that can't e.g., Max! The main game After this the game really shifts up a gear. The main aim is for you to train your dog so that you can enter competitions and earn more money. More money = more dogs and more supplies. Although you can only have 3 dogs at a time at home you can house the others in the hotel in the mean time. You need to buy supplies to feed ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

Nintendogs is one of the first major game releases for the Nintendo DS since it's launch and, surprisingly enough, everyone is loving it to bits. Look after up to 3 dogs in your house at a time, Teach them tricks, earn money throw dog competitions and take your dog for walks to the shops and the park, picking up random items as you go. Plus the ability to connect wirelessly to a friend with nintendogs so your dogs can play together and build up your ...
...Gameplay 8/10 : This all depends on how you define gameplay. I think it can be pretty fun and, apart from on buses, the voice sensor to call your dog and get it to do tricks is awesome, although my dog seems to get confused a lot whenever i get a sore throat. Obviously, since it's a DS game, you use the stylus to interact with your dogs so you can easily zip through the menues to whip out a treat for your dog and also stroke them and things like ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

Ths product is well worth the money and is recommended to anybody over the age of three. This delightful game is sure to please any dog lovers as you can buy nearly any breed of dog depending on how much money you have to spend ( on the game ) and what Nintendogs you purchase as there are at least three other kind of Nintendogs such as Labrador, Dalamation, Daschund and the Chihuahua game. Purchase, name and bring home your own virtual puppy. Play ...
...for a walk. You can go to the park and meet new friends and puppies or just stay at your condo and hang out. Train your playful pup and win contests earning you money and allowing your dog to move up a class. The more contests you win the more breeds you unlock in all due time!! If you happen to think that you can handle more than one dog then you can buy up to seven dogs, but you can only keep up to three at home. The remaining five stay at the ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

This game is a wonderful, bright and enjoyable game for any child. The range of dogs, the challenge of training them, and the joy of simply taking them for walks to the park, or to the gym that has made the Nintendogs series popular is continued here. Younger players will find weeks of entertainment in this game as they can own several dogs and take care of them from brushing to feeding them. Players can enter contests and compete with other dogs ...
...allow there dogs to communicate with other dogs on a friends console. However, for a more mature audience, this game looses its playability very quickly. The monotonous tasks of repeatedly feeding the dogs, and spending over half an hour saying "sit" and "lie down" into the DS's microphone soon wears on the patience, and after a few days the replay value of this game (and indeed entire series) wears off. There are several unlockable breed of dog, ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

You get to look after your own virtual dog, take it for daily walks, feed it, wash it, spoil it and even enter agility, obedience and disc competitions. Almost just like a real dog. What's more, you get to earn training points for looking after your pet and with the points, are able to unlock new interiors and even more dog breeds. As an added bonus, the 3D graphics aren't bad either. However, it only takes a few months to unlock everything and ...
...single day is just the same routine so if your a person that gets bored too easily, this game isn't probably for you. I would probably recommend this game to young children and adults who have a lot of time on their hands but a no to those who are more into a game with a little more challenge. ...

Review of Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends (Nintendo DS)

I bought my copy of Nintendogs a few days after launch. For the first few weeks I was playing it for about 2 hours a day, enjoying the innovative new style of gameplay Nintendo has put into this game. My review of this game would probably read similar to the other one already here if I had got here first, so lets asume that it has. I would like to embelish a few points that the other reviewer failed to mention. Although the gameplay is completely ...
...favour of the game however, I have to say that this while can be as long as a few months. In the few months that I was playing this game for, I enjoyed every second. However, now that I have been busier, and not leaving enough time for my dogs, I only manage to play it about once a week. For the casual gamer that I have had to become, this is not a good idea with this game. My two dogs have a habit of getting very dirty, very quickly. Therefore, ...
