 Nintendogs review:
The fact that Nintendogs virtually demands you play it daily might make this a great "test" for parents of kids who want a real puppy. If they can keep their virtual dog happy and healthy (and not get bored in the first month) then it might be time for a visit to the real pet store or local shelter.

Nintendogs review:
Essentially, Nintendogs is a warm, gentle pet sim when you're in the mood for a diversion in that mild style. Though I clearly have several bones to pick with certain aspects of the title's gameplay, these problems do not ultimately neuter the game's fun factor. - Michelle Thurlow, Grrlgamer.com

Nintendogs review:
Think Tamagochi pet hopped-up on goofballs and you've got "Nintendogs," an interactive pet simulator with puppies that manage to come off as unbearably cute as the real things.

Nintendogs review:
You can do all the things that you would do in real life with a dog. You can teach it to come when you call it using the microphone, teach it tricks, pat it, and play with it, the whole nine yards. When you walk the dog, you are brought to a map where you can use the touch screen to plot your route, and you can then pick up presents, meet other dogs, or go to a discount shop for necessities, or even head to the park to play Frisbee and engage other dogs. There is also an agility arena that you can use to train your dog for agility trials. Walks are the primary source of items for your pet, such as toys, records, or accessories, including cool toys with Nintendo themes, such as Mario/Bowser/Peach karts, though some items are unique to certain games. Getting cool collars, bows, hats and wigs for your dog is half of the game.

Is Nintendo's puppy-sim for life, and not just a few days of mild entertainment?

Nintendogs review:
There's no doubt that Nintendogs is an acquired taste. It's not much of a game unless you are willing, on one level or another, to care about your canine charges, and to just enjoy their behaviour. It might hold your interest for a week, a couple of months, or more - it depends how much you care. If you like the idea of a virtual puppy - and you should - then it's unconditionally recommended.

Nintendogs review:
But we challenge any child, dog lover or generally soppy individual not to enjoy Nintendogs, and not to fall in love with their fluffy little bundles of fun. Not a perfect game, no, but one of the freshest, most innovative and all-round entertaining titles we've played for a while.

Nintendogs review:
S. and Europe. Already initial sales have been brisk and we’re just now entering the all-important holiday shopping season where we can expect the game to be a top seller. Featuring great graphics, awesome interactivity, and, well, puppies, makes Nintendogs much more appealing and exciting than Tamagotchi could have ever hoped for. -- Craig Majaski

Nintendogs review:
The game also gets very repetitive if you play it non-stop but I think the creators wanted the player to play for about thirty minutes a day since the game often only lets you do so much in a certain amount of time. Everything put together, I must say I’ve had a lot of fun training my virtual dog in this innovative and fun game. Recommended.

Nintendogs review:
Pete: I personally dislike having things on a timer.Bianca: The voice recognition is frustrating. I am starting to think I have a speech impediment.Pete: I understand why it's done, but I don't particularly like to wait another day before I can train my dog something new. I could cheat and change the clock, but that's counterproductive!Continue to page 2 ( of 2 )

Nintendogs review:
Like the opposable thumb, it manages to change that way we look at games, and is comforting to see amidst a sea of shooters, yearly rehashes of sports titles, and the newest Grand Theft Auto clone. Nintendogs is a tail-wagging good time, that's for sure. Does it have the longevity to keep players entertained over time? Ask us again in a few months, right now we've gone to the dogs.

Nintendogs review:
In Japan, Nintendogs has become a cultural phenomenon and a real system seller for Nintendo’s DS handheld system, but how exactly its popularity fares in the US now that its recent North American debut has come and gone is anyone’s guess. If you ask us, Nintendogs definitely backs up its remarkable hype with a loveably innovative design that gamers and non-gamers alike will find appealing. Being the hot topic it is these days, we thought it would only be fitting to break Nintendogs down piece by piece via an in-depth discussion, so that’s exactly what BonusStage Staff Writer Zach Lark and I, Senior Staff Writer Matt Litten, decided to do. Follow along as we discuss why Nintendogs deserves a place in any DS owner’s library.

Nintendogs review:
Nintendogs begins with a visit to the kennel where you drop some cash for a companion. There are currently three versions of the game available at retail, each featuring a specific collection of dogs available from the outset.

Nintendogs review:
It bears mentioning that many players are going to get bored with this "game" very quickly, but that's not so much a fault of the game as it is a fact of life—different strokes for different folks. Otherwise, Nintendogs is a charming little winner.

Nintendogs review:
Nintendogs is a more than suitable title to introduce to new gamers and is a game which will keep even the more hardcore pleasantly engaged, but the replayablity will run out fast for those who already have a furry friend by their side in real life.
