Do not waste your money.

I bought this for my kids instead of getting Nintendogs since we have a computer and do not have a DS. The first time I installed it, it would lock up when you tried to train the dog. I searched the website and found that MAYBE I need to update my video driver (I have a pretty new computer). So I did that and reinstalled it. Still locked up. So I emailed the company (no phone support) and we waited the whole weekend to hear from them. Guess what...they told me to update my driver! So I messed around with it again and found that it locks up when you use the mouse and the space bar option instead of the 2 mouse button option (for training). Now that we had it working, my kids (8 and 10) played with it for about 45 minutes each and that's it! It's boring. Tamagotchis are WAY better! Spend your 15-20 bucks on one of them instead.

Software is buggy

My daughter and I bought and tried to play this on Father's Day. Within minutes we found bugs with the software - lock-ups. Our PC is more than fast enough for the game. Very disappointing - and we can't, of course, return the game.

This is a boring game!!! If you don't like games that are hard, don't buy this junk!

If you buy this, you'll be wasting you money! I thought this is would fun, but I was wong! These are all the ploblems about this game:
1.the dogs are very dumb. (My dog can't even do 1 trick!)
2. you barely can see your dogs.
3. It takes a long time to load.
That's all. Don't waste you money on this! Tust me.

I have a newer computer that exceeds any thought of specifications this game spits out; I regulary play Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at max settings, if that tells you anything.

Graphics-wise, I guess this game is okay... if it would play. Some users commented on the loading times being a long time. If in excess of 5 minutes is a long time, I'm stupid. That's called a software hang, and this computer continually does it.

Can I break out of it? Nope, Three-Finger-Salute (CTRL-ALT-DEL) to end process? Nope... it's a full hard reboot.

This software sucks, which I'll say of any kid game software that doesn't install in the All Users Programs area, but instead only under the main users information making it not runnable by "limited user" accounts on an Windows XP machine because the game doesn't even show up.

I tackled all its stupid stuff and got it to run a few times, but it's not worth it. My daughter just came down and said, "I know how we can solve the problem daddy; we can just take out the CD and throw it in the trash."

Sounds like good advice to me right now.

Lastly, the email link on their own web page doesn't work. No email account exists. A joke of a company.

It's ok....

Ok, I am 12. (That will help)

The story: I was at the store today, just looking around. I went into the video game section, and then I saw it: What looked like the cutest game ever! So, I looked at the price tag. Not bad. So, i just decided to pick it up.

Playing it: I finally got home. I exidedly opened the package. I looked at it. Looked like a great replacement for Nintendogs. (Because I wanted to buy it, but it's just too expensive!) Then, I installed it without a problem. Then finally, I clicked "play" It immediatley took me to the shelter. I picked out a brown dachound and named it Baby. So, we went to the kitchen. (On the game) and she just kinda walked around. It made me laugh. But then, when I really started to play it, it was sooooo confusing!! And when I finally figured it out, I desided to teach it tricks. But it woldn't do them!! I was doing it right, drawing it like it saied, but the dog just woldn't do it!! And that's basicly what made it boring.

How I would rate it and why: I would give this a 3. It's fun, but confusing and not ment for older children like me.

The pros are: 1) The graphics are incredable! 2)The dogs are really cute! 3) The game is really cheap!

Now the cons: 1) It's really confusing at first. 2) You dont teach it tricks. It's practilly impossible. 3) Theres not much to do in the game. 4) There needs to be more breeds.

this is probablt sutible for kids ages 7-10. Also, if I can figure out how to do the tricks, then that will probably raise it to a 4. But I cant. I tryed and tryed and almost cryed out of frustrasion. It is fun, but there is definatley room for improvement.

I recently bought fetch! and I love it already! The dogs are really cute and you can buy hats,collars,toys and food for them! It's really hard to train the dogs for obeidience though. Agility is really fun to do and it's pretty easy too! You can go to the kennel and adopt a different dog whenever you want! They have Beagles,Boxers,Chihuahuas,Dachshunds,German Sheperds and Labrador retrievers all in a lot of colours! I recommend buying this game if you love dogs!

How...

She says it was a really fun game and she likes how the dogs look, but when she went to visit the kennel sometimes you had to get a new dog and start all over. Once when she was walking the dog, she stopped by the kennel and had to get a different dog even tho she wanted to keep the one she had.

Very Worth It

I got this game is a surprise and I have to say, it's amazing! The dogs are so realistic and cute but it is hard to train them. I am a very happy costumer with the joy of the game. I have a 98 computer and the installing was a breeze! Two thums up!
