This was my first game for my DS. It's been years since I acquired the game and I still think it's excellent. The graphics are very impressive. The dogs have their own distinct personalities. It's funny to see how they react to each other.
The interaction is quite admirable. You train your dogs, (You can have up to 8) to listen to your voice. For example, bring your dog over to you and guide it into a sitting position. When it does it, tell it the command "Sit." eventually, it will learn the trick and do it whenever you tell it to. But make sure you keep up with training (Just like real dogs, they may forget.) You also want to keep your dog in shape, so bring it to the park, on walks, and to the gym often. The more you train at the gym, the better they perform in agility contests (Yup, they have those. Also obedience, and Frisbee contests) By the way, how your dog ranks in the competitions affects how much moneys you get.
You can buy a variety of toys and foods. And if you're really loaded, you can redecorate your house. (My doggies live at the beach for $50,000)
Make sure you keep your doggies clean! They hate being dirty! Daily bathies and brushing are necessary!
Oh, yes, there are a few special features. One is the dog hotel. if you're busy and don't have time to take care of multiple doggies that day, you can send all but one to the hotel and they'll kindly care for your doggies. Another special feature is 'bark mode.' If you have a friend with a Nintendogs game, you can each send one of your dogs over to the other person's DS. You can even have your dog bring a present to your friend.
It seemed like some people are confused about renting this game used. You CAN delete data in this game. Turn on the DS and select the game, while it's loading, but before you see your beloved doggies, hold L, R, A, B, X, and Y. A menu should show up asking if you want to delete user data.
Well that should just about do it. If you like dogs, go for it. It's a great game.
