    This game was certainly fun. The game mechanics and graphics style show that it's intended to be played by younger gamers, but despite it's simplicity, there is no lack of fun. The game can be easily shared by both a parent and a child. Animal lovers will be very delighted by the game, and dog lovers even more so.

    Amazing game. The simple game mechanics make it a good fit for young children while the complex themes make it enjoyable to older players. I definitely found myself emotionally invested. I recommend this game to any gamer. It's adorable, fun and quite sad at points.

    An amazing game with an absolutely touching story. Really teaches a lot of life lessons and it’s very enjoyable. You shouldn’t just look at the dogs and say their super cute, but the story is the real strong part of this game.

    I remember playing this game when I was younger and loving it. It had amazing graphics, fun characters and a really fun gameplay. I replayed it once, maybe even twice. I think I would replay it again now for nostalgia reasons. 10/10

    I didn't get this game. The controls were so hard so i never moved where i wanted to go, and the plot was cheesy. The graphics were ok, but that's really all about this game.

    Even though this game is long and challenging in some parts, This game is still a fun and simple RP game with lot's of cuteness,even if it can get boring at times.

    The GOD Island me cambio la vida. Realmente es un juego muy adelantado a su época, tiene unos gráficos de infarto, unos personajes entrañables, una jugabilidad adictiva y una historia muy conmovedora que toca las fibras mas sensibles del corazón de cualquiera que ose a probarlo. Un videojuego que todos los amantes del medio deberían jugar.

    Vom-inducing adorable RPG-superlite that will be a good way to introduce younglings to the genre, whilst simultaneously making everyone else want to sneer at dogs on the way home. [JPN Import]

    The Dog Island is a good game for novice gamers. Kids will love the open world system and the fun missions. Even though this title will probably make regular gamers roll their eyes, it is a great beginners RPG.

    The Dog Island is a seriously odd title, but its style, attention to detail, and overall offering as a kid-friendly, casual adventure/RPG makes it a solid choice for the younger Wii crowd.
