The Good: good graphics. adorable animations. good point system for unlockables.

The Bad: frustrating camera.

The Review: This game is basically the cats version of Nintendogs. I haven't played it extensively, but my kids have, and my youngest daughter LOVES cats, so she LOVES this game. You can train your cat with tricks, just like Nintendogs. You have your basic living room you can play with her and then a play room, where you can guide her through obstacles and play with her toys, like bouncy balls or even a laser pointer. Your cat has a variety of "stats" you need to keep up with, just like a Sims game, such as her happiness, food, water, potty, agility, etc. You can earn ribbons and points by meeting certain objectives. I haven't played long enough to remember what they are, but eventually, you can use those points to unlock new cats, including a baby tiger, lion, and cheetah. How cute!! :-) The best thing about this game is the graphics and animation, which are on par with the Nintendogs games. The only bad thing is the camera, which will just shift around with a mind of its own sometimes, but it's not bad enough to make you crazy, just slightly annoyed. Overall, I'd recommend this game to any young child or cat lover, as its a good, polished game, and basically, the cat version of Nintendogs.
