An excellent use of the touch screen...

This game would be one of the most fun and playful games I've played for the DS. It's made full use of the touch screen and is quite addictive.

It has a wide variety of dogs, but insted of having many different types of the game it would be better if they had combined them all and had one big game. The toys, games and competitions aid this game and helps it to approach its full potential.

The wash and feed features would be a great way to show children the responsibility of owning a dog whilst allowing them to have fun at the same time. The controls are set out in a way which uses the touch screen to its full potential although it doesn't use the normal buttons. It focuses, perhaps to much, on the stylus.

The graphics are surprisingly good for the DS standard and gameplay is amazing. The way you can walk your dog, throw the toys and change the design of your dogs clothes and house is phenominal and I think this game is worth the money

Overall, a brilliant game for the DS and amazingly good fun. I thought it was going to be more of a girls game type thing but it turned out extremely playful for lads to.
