Here are some customer reviews of
Nintendogs - Labrador Retriever
: This is the biggest waste of time impulse purchase I have seen in a while. It's so sad that people have time to waste on a fake puppy when there are thousands of animals in shelters all around the US looking for a loving home.
 This is a good game. You raise a pet and come to love it. You can get 2 others and watch them play around. The only problem with the game that not alot of people are mentioning is the fact that the game won't let you do stuff repeatedly.
You can only go out on one walk every 30 minutes. You can only teach your dog 3 tricks a day. You can only enter 3 contests a day. You can't pet your dog for too long else he becomes agitated. You can only feed him once and a while.
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.
 This game is the new hype from Japan (sold 700.000 units so far before reaching USA) and is the best so far! It's as if u own a real dog. When i first played it i didn't think the dogs would act that much lik a real dog but to my suprise, they did! Their movements were random and behaved how a reguluar dog should. When u first get ur dog u first have to teach it its name which may or may not take a while. To do this you simply use the microphone inside your DS and eventually it will respond to it. The microphone in the Ds will be usual to teach ur dogs many commands and once you feel ur dog has been trained well enough you can enter your dog in competitions. Of course you'll have to assist your dog in the training but it heavely relies on how trained your dog is. If you win the competition you win money which u can spend on eithr items for ur dogs, or a whole enw dog!
You can also of course play with ur dog with a frisbee, chew toy, pet ur dog, and other stuff that u would normally do to paly with ur dog. You can also take ur dog for a walk and may even meet new friends (in game and real life friends!!!) You can meet new dogs in the game and ur dog can interact with other ppl playing the DS no matter wat version they own. By meeting an owner's dog from a different version u can unlock the dog in your very own version. There are 3 version of Nintendogs(much like Pokemon) and each include different dogs. You can check the box cover or read the detailed description on this site to find out what dog u DON'T need to unlock. The dogs named on the box are the ones instantly available. The ones not mentioned or are on other version u must unlock. But all Nintendog version contains all the dogs. U just have to unlock them.
To meet other Nintendogs player u set ur DS in bark mode and close your DS (ur not actually turning it off. it's sorta like a sleep mode) and ur DS will bark when another Nintendog player is nearby. You can exchange gifts and even send messages to each other!
f you have never owned a dog or wish you could take your dog wherever you go then this is the game for you! It's an excellent dog simulator. If you want to test it out before you buy it, i believe Toys R Us and Gamestop has a demo that you can try out. It doesnt allow you to do everything but it gives a great taste of the game. I already found it addictive when i tried just the demo.
As for the so called "PSP version" one will never exist. The keyword is NINTENDOgs. Its owned by Nintendo and its actaully one of them reasons its outselling the PSP. The graphics for this game are already great on the DS and i can't imagine much a change on the PSP. The PSP also lacks the touch screen which is used very well is used very well to interact with ur dogs and the PSP also lacks a microphone.
But overall this game is great and is actaulyl worth something to be hyped up about!
 Nintendodogs is the reason why I forked over $125.00 on payday.
I started the game in eager wait to see my new pup and picked a black female Pug. As I got in my car it asked me what I would like to name her and to call her name... WHAT THE....!
When I bought this game I had no idea that you could talk to your dog and they would listen(well no not really but you know what I mean)
This game is perfect for people who love dogs,violence-free games, or just simulation games in general. This game might not be for everyone though, if you hate games that run slow or become repetive this is not the game for you.
Edit: After playing for a while now I still enjoy Nintendogs but have a list of things they should change.
1.For one you should be able to put all your dogs in the dog hotel, one dog always has to stay with you. Lets say a person is sick and can't get to their dogs, it means one will always starve and be in a rotten mood when you return.
2.The music and backround never change. It would be neat if the whether changed acording to the date and time. Also I get tired of hearing the dog walk music.
Well thats about all for now though, like I said before I still enjoy the game.

Sidenote: After reading all the reveiws I noticed that some reveiwers put up things saying get a real dog. I find that rude of them. Some people have no choice but to have a fake one. To those people who said get a real dog, try thinking about the ones who just can't next time you post a reveiw.
This game is tons of fun, has good graphics, lasting appeal, just about everything you can ask for. I would reccomend picking this up, even if you don't have a DS the price lowered, so you can get a DS and this game for about the same price as a DS origonally cost. I don't know what the reviewer before me was talking about, there will never be a PSP version on NINTENDOGS, as in the name it is a nintendo product, that would never happen. Buy this game if you haven't already, it is great.
