    Nintendogs is way better. Come on, the dogs do not even look realistic. Plus, you only get to choose 1 dog in Dogz. In Nintendogs, you can choose up to 5 breeds. Nintendogs has rare breeds to such as the shiba inu and the st. charles spaniel. Also, there are no contests in Dogz like there are in Nintendogs. Who cares if you are a person in the game Dogz, you are a person in Nintendogs Nintendogs is way better. Come on, the dogs do not even look realistic. Plus, you only get to choose 1 dog in Dogz.

Who cares if you are a person in the game Dogz, you are a person in Nintendogs too, but you just can not see yourself in the game. Lastly, you can respond to you dog in Nintendogs, not like in Dogz. I rated this game a 1. I recommend people to buy Nintendogs. It may cost a little more money, but hey, it is totally worth it. Trust me!… Expand

    This game is so awesome, its like the re-introducing of nintendogs, except for better, this game is totally deserving a 10 rating from everyone!

    This game is AMAZING! I played at my friend's house, and hopefully maybe I'll go to Target and buy it!

    Nintendogs is a better dog sim than Dogz, but owning a real dog is better than both.

    I wouldn't say that "everyone should give this game a ten," in fact I think Ubisoft's CATZ game is far better. however, this game has some quirks about it that make it more fresh, fun, and rejuvenating for your child to play than Nintendogs did. granted, the game was probably inspired by Nintendogs, so people will have negative things to say about it, but for the most part the I wouldn't say that "everyone should give this game a ten," in fact I think Ubisoft's CATZ game is far better. however, this game has some quirks about it that make it more fresh, fun, and rejuvenating for your child to play than Nintendogs did. granted, the game was probably inspired by Nintendogs, so people will have negative things to say about it, but for the most part the game is a good pick for your kids to play.… Expand

    The dogs are sooo cute. If you like Nintendogs, you'd like this.

    This reminds me of Picto Pals (or whatever it was called) for the DS even though you have Picto Chat. You already have NintenDogs? Then don't buy this!

    A noble attempt at a portable pet simulator, but in the end there's just not enough to do, on the plus side the graphics are fantastic, but the game just is just so repetitive, you will literally do the same things for as long as you play it, I could literally predict after 20 minutes how everything was going to play out, it's got some interesting features and ideas I would like to seeA noble attempt at a portable pet simulator, but in the end there's just not enough to do, on the plus side the graphics are fantastic, but the game just is just so repetitive, you will literally do the same things for as long as you play it, I could literally predict after 20 minutes how everything was going to play out, it's got some interesting features and ideas I would like to see expanded upon, but this just to boring and repetitive to recommend, especially when you can just buy a real dog.… Expand

    This game sucked horribly. If you want a good dog game get nintendogs. This game was really bad. I would only like it if i were a 3 year old girl. Man it was so freaking bad, i dont understand how anyone could like it!

    Dogz isn't just a poor man's "Nintendogs" - it's a fundamentally rubbish game, regardless of the competition. Put simply, there's just not enough to do, and it's so repetitive that it's hard to see how even very young children could be entertained for more than half an hour or so.

    There's a fair amount of depth, with various tricks, items, and things to do with your dog. [Feb 2006, p.113]

    A pretty average game that won't hold the kids' interest for long. There aren't very many things to do in the game, and it becomes boring after awhile.
