    This game is really a hidden gem for any casual gamer. I bought it on clearance and thought it was going to be a joke of a game. It ended up being one of the most whimsically delightful RPGs I have ever played. The game is well put-together. The characters are lovable, the environments are cheerful and colorful, and the storyline is surprisingly engaging. While hardcore gamers may scoff, This game is really a hidden gem for any casual gamer. I bought it on clearance and thought it was going to be a joke of a game.

    This being my first ever entry into video games, this has a bit of a personal history to me.

Surprisingly detailed for a kids game, with unique environments, which surprised me personally, some decent game mechanics that can get fairly repetitive at times admittedly, a surprisingly dark story, and a whole variety of extras. This was my favorite game as a kid, and it is to this day. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.… Expand

    The Dog Island es sencillamente una obra maestra que deja en ridículo a otros exponentes grandes del genero como podría ser RDR2 y TLOU 1. Realmente es un juego que te dejara reflexionando hasta el día de tu fallecimiento. Tiene una banda sonora hermosa y melancólica, una jugabilidad excesivamente buena, una historia que cambiara para siempre tu perspectiva de la vida misma.

    The Dog Island is a charming adventure so full of puppy cuteness that it would bring a smile to almost anyone's face. But at the $50 price point, you might find that titles like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing prove to be a better investment to keep the kids engaged this winter.

    There's nothing here for most gamers, but buy it for younglings with a penchant for canines and they'll be happy for hours. [July 2008, p.78]
