4 stars (Surprisingly playable) - I honestly thought my seven-year-old would tire of playing with an electronic dog after an hour or so. (Remember Tamagotchi -- those creepy electronic pets that we all killed a few years ago?) But he now has three dogs that he walks, trains and plays with for a few hours each week. He runs over to show me the latest trick and buys them toys while managing his money. We recently went to a game store and participated in a Nintendogs promotion where he received a new free toy for his pets. He was thrilled!

It's amazing how they limit you, because after maybe 15 minutes you can't do anything else with your dog and you have to put the game down. 3 stars (Definitely not what it's hyped up to be...) - I was looking forward to the release of this game for various reasons, but mainly because it looks innovative, original, and fun. I had read the reviews on here, and so many people had given the game such high praise so I decided that it must be worth it. When I played, though, I was disappointed: 1) The voice controls are unfulfilling. You have to be in an ABSOLUTELY QUIET environment for the system to even pick up what you said, and I mean even if there are other people in the room hav...
