Author's Review
Everyone loves puppies. Well, not everyone - but a lot of people do. Unfortunately, sometimes people can't have pets..or maybe a young child wants one but you simply cannot get the dog for the child. Never fear, Dogz 3 is to the rescue!!
Okay, maybe that was a bit overboard. Nevertheless, Dogz 3 is a great game for all ages. Basically, you adopt dogs and play with them. Simple concept, yes..but that's what makes it so much fun! To play, visit the adoption center to adopt a dog, and you can have as many dogs as you like. There are 5 different breeds of dogs included with the game, but the offical website (www.petz.com) has other breeds that you can download and use free. The site also offers a few other downloads, such as more toys and clothes. On that main site, there are also links to various pages of people who have placed their dogs on sites for you to download.
Once you have your new dogz, it's time for the fun to begin! There are a few play scenes like the backyard, park, and beach where you can play games with them such as fetch. You can teach them tricks, and eventually may get them to do things like sit on command, roll over, etc. You also have the option of putting these dogz in funny clothes. Dogz 3 works with Catz 3 in that the two animals can mate and produce newborns. Dogz from different breeds can also mate, creating new, sometimes original breeds.
One thing to watch out for is don't put every possible toy or clothing in the game at once. It might lead to the screen freezing or slowing down. That's the only problem with the actual game I've found.
As you probably can guess, Dogz 3 isn't overly educational. However, sometimes it truly is good to just sit back, relax, and play with a cute online puppy. I've had Dogz 3 for quite awhile, and I still enjoy playing with the dogz! There's no violence..the Dogz are very friendly. On a sad note, they will run away if they are ignored or you gaspabuse them..so be good to your Dogz!
It really is a fun game for people of any age - what could be better than that these days?
