Petz: Dogz 5 and Catz 5

It's a real fun game for my 12 year old and my 4 year old. They can have as many virtual pets as they want and they love choosing between cats and dogs. Several months after first playing it they're still finding new surprises and enjoying watching their pets learn and change. Every once in a while the game crashes though... I've yet to discover why, though. It never happens when I'm watching and the kids can't seem to tell me what they were doing with the game at the time it crashes so trouble-shooting it has been tricky where that's concerned. Could be a game glitch, could be something my kids are doing (too many pets moving around at once or something?). But in all this game's worth the price. Loads of fun.

I got Petz 5 for Christmas and it is by far my favorite game so far! I think the reason for the computer problems for others is they need better computers (not that the computers are bad, just they need updated ones) or their files are full, the reason for the disappearing Petz. For those of you who say it's boring, I can give you a whole list of things to do, but that would take up too much time! Oh, and what do some of you mean bad graphics? It's a style of graphics (the name has lost my mind-really!) and I do think they look alot like the breeds they reperesent!

Pros

-Having your petz fall in love!
-you can download new breedz and individual petz from many websites- but beware what sites you get them from!
-they actually remember how you treated them in the past!
-they are all unique-from different markings and eye colors to different favorite toys and personalities!
-Unlike Tamagotchi and Nintendogs, your petz won't starve, hate you, or die if you ignore them for a few days, like real dogs, they'll be overwhelmed with joy!
-I, personally, like to read the quotes about dogs and cats when the game is loading. I love the one that says dogs are the only living thing that loves something else more than itsself (you can tell I'm a dog lover!)

Cons
-I think they should add more breedz, I'm looking forward to a beagle, but again, they're are many sites to get them from!
-yes, I have experienct many glitches, only a few petz-threatning!

PS, Oh, yes, I must say how much I disagree with those who dislike the fact your patz can run away. Without this small threat each day, the game wouldn't be fun! Besides, you have a couple of chances to get them back! The fun of the game is taking care of them!

I had fun playing this game. I think the dogz and catz are cute and fun to play with. I would highly recamend this game to any one.

OMG! This is possibly one of the best pc pet games EVER! I am 12 yrs old and love animals. I was recently looking for a new virtual pet game; Nintendogs lost its charm, Tamagotchi didn't offer enough, and all those other GBA and DS games weren't satisfing.So, i install the game, easy as pie! Tada! I pick a cute lil'kitty and name it Sailor. I bathe it, give it treatz, and dress it up. Then we visit tons of cool places like Arabia, The beach, and a snowscape scene! There are tons of minigames like tic-ta-toe and rock,paper,siccors. I earn new toys for Sailor by playing the minigames and feed him kibble and milk. Yum! Sailor looks loney so I buy him a friend: Sushi! Together they play around and look happy. But whats this? Awwww, Sailor and Sushi are in love! sushi gives birth to 3 healthy kits named Serpent, Scarab, and Spirit. Cute! They are so small. Now what? Ohhh, you can adopt dogs, too! The fun never ends with this computer game, now does it Sailor? Meeeoww!!

My daughters, aged 8 and 10, cannot get enough of this game. It is definitely THE favorite. I didn't know it existed until I searched amazon for a similar game and this one popped up with a higher rating. Now I know why. Highly recommend it!
