Dogz 5 -gift for grandson

Bought this for my five year old grandson. He initially was enthralled but lost interest fairly quickly. I think part of that was because it was a bit old for him and some of the instructions were a challenge for him to read and understand but part of it was the limitations of the actions. Since it is supposed to simulate "real" pet ownership on some level that was sort of OK. By the time we found instructions on how to put the pet away or get it to perform some action focus was gone.
I would recommend this for an older child though; a seven or eight year old might have become more engaged with the adopted pet and have and easier time then a five year old and an over fifty did. It has some fun activities to do with the pet(s), great play settings like a beach, snow scape, and haunted castle, and quick response time to changes and commands.

Fun

My daughter loves this. There's some reading involved so I have to help her a little. The dogs aren't that cute, that's the only drawback that I can think of. My daughter loves it though so that's perfect for me.

The Best Game of Its Time, in 2002.

Hey, I'm a 16 year old retired Petz player. Back in 1999 I was entered into the Petz 3 PC (petz community) The PC back then was a thriving online relationship between hexers (people who modified petz to make them look like other breeds) breeders, and PKC (Petz Kennel Club, google it) dog showers. It was very popular and had numerous websites, including my own attached into it. In 2002 Petz 5 was introduced. To tell you the truth, us Faithful P3 and P4 PC members weren't the biggest fans. But the Petz community continued to strive on with possibly the best simulated game graphics of its time following The Sims 1.

I remember the PC and the petz 3-5 games being the most amazing things in my life. The game has the ability to pose your pets, raise them, feed them, train them, and breed them. While now a days the graphics are not up to par with nintendogs or The Sims 2 Pets/Unleashed or even the new and improved Petz 1 and 2; this is definately a gaming classic of its time!

The Perfect Pets!

If you find yourself in a situation at which you can't or are not allowed to have pets in your house, I recommend this game 100%. It's perfect for others too, especially pet lovers. But especially for YOU, that can't have pets, this game is abosolutely everything that you would have with a real pet.
They need attention, they have personalities, they can be trained, they miss you when you're not there, they receive you happily when you open your computer, they bring a lot of responsibility and so much happiness... Don't waste your time on other pet simulators... I've tried 'em all and this one is the one that TOTALLY rocks... (Besides Dogz1, Dogz2 and 4... 3 isn't that good... not recommended.)

PETS WITHOUT THE MESS!!

Ok so I'm 11 1/2. i was 11 when i got this. I actually have petz 5 where you can have both catz and dogz together. anyway it's a great game but you have to be loyal and careful. you have to make sure you play every day or every other day to feed your petz and play games with them. You have to be careful blc... well here's my story. I got petz without reading any reviewz. 1st mistake. You are allowed to breed puppies and i would do this once every 2 months b/c 2 months is a year for petz. the puppiez are soo cute. only problem is that it doesn't state is that your petz don't die. now it's sad for petz to die but it is very sad when you have 16-18 petz and can't take care of them. Lastly when they run-away b/c they were neglected it says to check the board in the adoption center. well you can just forget about the board cause your petz are never coming back and the board never has anything on it. so don't breed alot. the games are fun for a bit but it's hard to get your petz where you want them to go. you don't win coins or anything. I wrote this b'c i thought all you kids out there should know about this game before you get it. if your a mom or dad reading this b/c your kid wants it get your kid here to see this review. another option is sims 2 petz which i can't have until i'm like 16 but it seems good. though i gotta check the REVIEWZ!

catz/dogz
