Paws & Claws Pet Resort (Nintendo Wii)

As a young father and Wii fan, I can highly recommend

this title! It's fun to play (not just for my kids:-),

has got a very cute style and lovely animations.

Especially the smart use of the Wiimote (you can

actually pet your animals just like in real life!)

is a lot of fun.

Our 7 year daughter bought this game with her own money and after just 30 minutes, realized that everything about this game was very childish and could only possibly hold the attention of real little kids for a few minutes. Petting, brushing (not much different than the petting), feeding, and playing very basic games in front of a cheesy looking pet is just about the only things you really get to do. The sound and graphics are terrible and childish, and no matter which type of pet you get to choose from, everything is basically the same. It was so bad, that after then trying a couple of assigned chores at the resort (brushing, petting, and feeding the pets some more) to try to earn coins just to buy more pet food, she said that it was so boring and stupid that she never wants to play this game ever again and it immediately went into the sell pile. That was from a 7 year old who just spent her own allowance money!!!!! Our 9 year old son just laughed at the entire game and never remotely was interested in trying anything with it. For those of you with smaller kids, most in-game instructions have to be read off the screen to even know what to do, so if they can't read it for themselves, have fun sitting there and reading everything for them!!!!!! Thank goodness we did not have to this with our daughter or it would have lasted maybe 10 minutes. Nothing more needs to be said about the worst game we as a family have ever seen. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!
