Neopets

Advantages: Fun, fast.
Disadvantages: Slightly slow, some games are REALLY hard.

...Today, I'm going to tell you about the fun website, neopets.com. HOW DO I JOIN? You join by entering your date of birth, putting in your e-mail address and then creating your own neopet. WHAT IS A NEOPET? A neopet is an online pet that you or anybody else can look at. You can feed it, play with it and even check it into a hotel! IS IT FUN? Yes, I find this website very fun and I would reccomend it. LAYOUT & DESIGN The layout is great and I find it really colourful. NAVIGATION I can always easily navigate my way around the site! WEB SITE CONTENT It's packed with lots of fun games so I'm sure that you'll find a game that you enjoy. HOW FAST IS THE WEBSITE This website is quite fast, but when it's loading a big game it takes a while. SEARCH FACILITY You can't really search on the website because there isn't really anything...

Neopets

Advantages: Entertaining, appeals to everyone, addictive
Disadvantages: None really

...I have been neglecting my Ciao account but the weather's been amazing lately (which is rare because this is England we're talking about!) and I can't bear to waste away in front of the computer like I normally do! But the novelty's worn off now and the heat's getting a bit too much for me (my freckles are coming out!) so here I am. I've recently rediscovered Neopets, so this is my review on it! I'm using a points system so it's easier to follow: ------------------- GENERAL: Neopets is a website where you create virtual pets (neopets) and the whole point of the website is to look after them, as their owners. Along the way, you can play games, buy shares, earn money, set up shops and fight other players, amongst other things! It is aimed at kids, but adults can enjoy it too, and they're the ones who are probably more interested...

The land of Neopets

Advantages: Good games, lots to do, updated regularly.
Disadvantages: Can become addictive, takes a while to earn a lot of 'money'.

...Introduction ---------------- Neopets has to be one of the best websites I've ever had the pleasure to register with. There is so much to do on this website that it is quite hard to pick the best parts to review it but I will do my best to highlight what I consider are the most interesting parts of Neopets and also to point out some of the problems I've had in the past. For those who don't know about Neopets it was originally opened in 1999 as a website for kids where they could adopt a pet. These aren't your run of the mill pets like cats, dogs, hamsters etc. The type of pets you look can look after go by the exotic names of 'Shoyru', 'Mynci', Kacheek' and 'Blumaroo' to name but a few. In fact, at the moment there are over 50 different pet species to choose from and more are added all the time. Some of the pets are based on real...

Neopetting

Advantages: Really cute pets
Disadvantages: money isn't real!

...opinion, the way to have the best fun with neopets is to earn loads and loads of NPs, then you can spend and do just about what you want! The shop is the first thing to do. The sooner you can make your shop bigger the better - more other players will visit and you're sure to have a big revenue! The stock market is another good investment - buy some shares in a company when they are low and watch them grow! Playing games is fun - once again theres stuff for all ages - including a Neopian lotttery! You can also explore the world - deserts, mountains, islands, cloud cities...theres stuff to do in every one. Guilds are another great feature of the game. There are thousands and thousands of guilds set up by different members - they are clubs in a way, where members can meet, hold competitions and help each other out. Check it out now...

Neopets - Introduce your children to the world of Neopia!

Advantages: Create some pets, it's free!
Disadvantages: Might be hard to get your children off!

...neopets.com is a site predominantly aimed at young children and teenagers. The aim of the site is to hold an account and become a member of Neopia, it is free to join and you will receive some neopoints and a few items for your new pet (once you create it). It is very easy to join up, minimal information is required, children under 13 will need parental consent for certain aspects of the site, I believe when I was that age I got around this by just changing my age by a year or two so that I was old enough already to play all of the site. You can earn neopoints by restocking your shop, buying and selling items, trading items, playing games and a host of other special events. Points can then be saved in the bank or used to buy new toys, clothes, food etc for your neopet or to buy furniture and items for your neohome. The site is...

Play the stockmarket with Neopets

Advantages: addictive , in depth
Disadvantages: slow

...www.neopets.com is a very addictive site that lets you look after up to four virtual pets at any one time . What's more it is free and VERY addictive . Indeed I challenge anyone to stop playing this within the first month ! It is easy to start from scratch . Simply fill in the virtual forms which are pretty much standard then create a username and password . Then you are rolling and you are about to enter a whole new world . The idea is you start of with a baby pet , then you look after it and watch it grow -into a trainee army cadet in my case ! There are over fifty different pet species to choose from , though some are limited edition ! I have a bruce type pet which in English means nothing to non players ! Once you enter the neopet world you have no shortage of things to do to while away your time. The most obvious thing is...

Neopets - a great place for kids and adults

Advantages: important lessons, teaches HTML, fun games, great community
Disadvantages: addictive gameplay, sometimes has slow loading times

...What can I really say about this site... I was a neopets addict when I was about 10 and went on recently because I was bored. In terms of kids This is an excellent site. I am a believer in video games and pets for kids. I feel that the games help to improve mental attentiveness, reflexes, hand eye coordination, learning skills and problem management. With the selection of games that neopets offers (some obvious copies of old games eg. Snake is Meerca Chase) there will be quite a few the child will enjoy. I also like the idea of a virtual pet for a child. He or she works (plays games) to buy food and clothes for his or her pet. I think this helps with their understanding of responsibility and their devotion to helping people and animals. In terms of Community Its a HUGELY successful internet community. you or your...

Neopet Addict

Advantages: Pets, Puzzles, and Points...oh my!!
Disadvantages: Very addicting!

...I'm an adult player at Neopets and I love it!! It's a free game that offers tons of depth and varity. I really suggest trying it out and digging around the site a bit to see all Neopets can offer. There's a ton of games, stimulating puzzles, adventures, friendships, and of course the fun of making neopoints to be had in Neopia. Oh, and did I mention that it's free and safe? So please bring the kids to play too because it's a great learning environment for children also. We play it as a family with each one of us having our own accounts. I've found that each one of us enjoy different parts to the game. My dh loves the battledome, my dd's love taking care of their pets, and I love the market place. What a rewarding and challenging game!! Check it out at http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=ciana1125103571258...

Disadvantages: bit slow at times
