    Hmmm, simple... a little too simple.

    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.

  1. 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]
  2. 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.
