Hmmmmm, isn't that just an easy game?
Does this game deserve 40/40, 10/10, 5/5, 1/1? I dunno, maybe....... Just like a lot of people in this thread I haven't played the game yet.....
Is it a game? Yes it does under my definition of a game...... :-/
Do either of these matter? No. -_-

A 40/40 seems like a very reasonable score for Nintendogs. I don't have the game, but going off of game information, videos, screens, and Nintendo's history of making the best games in the industry, why is it so shocking?
Also, it's nice to see a magazine praise the DS for its innovations. They really seem to enjoy the DS hardware and the games coming out it. It seems most western magazines made up their minds about the DS hardware and software before the DS even came out unfortunately. To the haters, you can probably expect low scores from those publications.

40/40 seems utterly bananas for any game.
I am with JackFrost2012 on this one (well, minus the cussing)

The funniest thing is, despite all his ranting even he admitted he'd score the game at least an 8 or 9 out of 10 :lol
I don't even know wtf he was so upset about.
Personally I couldn't see myself scoring this game higher than a 7/10, just because it doesn't seem like my thing (7/10 is what I'd give Animal Crossing).

I am for one glad that people are getting their knickers in a twist over a game, I bring the popcorn GAF provides the rest :lol

You could turn this the other way around and say that it seems most Eastern magazines made up their minds that the DS is the end-all be-all of portables, which simply flies in the face of common sense when the PSP is around.Taichu said:
I like Nintendogs myself (as you can tell from my avatar) but giving what is basically Tamagotchi 64 the fifth perfect score given in 19 years of reviews is just silly.

Nintendogs is about as much a game as those crappy sims games.
I own this game.
If you take it as a tamagochi type of game, it's well done. Cute graphics, lots of options (for a game of that type), it's the perfect game for a handheld. I find it hard to understand that people play in 2h streches, since what you can do is pretty limited, after all. It's better enjoyed in 10-20 minutes sessions, twice a day.
Sadly, I would find it hard to rate it higher than other games of that type. Seaman, for the dreamcast, felt much more complete, and had much more options and things to do. Since the puppies cant die, there is no challenge, of sence of urgency, like in Seaman. No goal. You don't even have to be the top rated dog or anything in the competition, since you dont see other dogs competing
You dont even see their results.
The microphone is pretty meh also. The animations are very repetitive and get boring REAL quickly. It's cute at first, but.. There's also a lot of weird glitches and even some colision problems. Yesterday one of my dog was laying on the floor, the other dog was right next to him, in a half sitting / half standing position with his head looking like it was laying on the back of the first dog, but it looked real weird and lifeless. The dogs didnt even blink too :| Maybe it was just a bug..
It's still a nice tech demo, and it will be very successful, but it gets stale VERY quickly since you can only teach them about 6-7 commands and thats it.
You can collect all sorts of items, but.. do you really care about having 5 different colored frizbees?
The big problem with Nintendogs is the lack of goal. My sister played a lot of the weekend. She went from incredibly hyped about the game, playing non stop, and she hasnt touched the DS sunday morning. Once you've seen all the animations and tricks, there is nothing else to do.
I'm not surprised to read that the american version will have more things to do, since the japanese version gets stale VERY quickly.
I would give this game a 8/10, but giving it a perfect rating is weird and reeks of moneyhats.
Still a very well made title, well done animations.. but not much substance after a while. It's still going to be very popular.
edit: I really liked Seaman when it came out, and finished it twice, and I'm sad to report that the current japanese version of Nintendogs feels like 30% of Seaman.

Yes. I remember back when I was in the UK, I would get the January issue of Edge in November, or something equally crazy. Why magazines print dates on the cover like this, I do not know, all I can tell you is that if you look on page 236 of your friend's magazine you will see it says the next issue comes out on 4/28, and it has a calendar on the right side. You can see under 28 / Thursday, it says 5/13-20 joint issue.Folder said:

I think it's gotten to be too much for him. If you'd of asked me who'd of took it badly, I wouldn't of thought him... the one person everyone was rooting for a reaction from seems to have taken it much better.
So is the legitimacy of this still up in the air or what?
