Been a Petz fan since Petz2!
This game offers game play with no end, there is not only mini games where you can win prizes...but you also can play fetch and many other games with your petz.You can breed mixed dogs or purebred...and can even do selective breeding.
Haters Are Idiots
Hey, this is a great game. Just to tell the people who think this gaame is boring: Y'all must not be able to use a computer if you think there's nothing to do. Sure, this is a few-minutes-each-day game. But you can dress up your pets, you can breed them, (though I'm not sure about the crashing problem, I only had that with the fourth game installment) and you can use programs to make new breeds. For people who can't get any items, that's done with theminigames. And though you get bored after a half-hour to an hour, you go back to it the next day.

Great!!!!!
This Game is Great!!!!!!!

Fun game to play
I bought the Puppy Luv game for my 7 1/2 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. She plays it every day. We don't have animals, so this gives her a little experience with what it is like to have a dog.

dont get it!
let me put it to you in two words,very boring! i played this game on a demo on the internet and was i glad i didnt purchase it , all you do is feed the dogand throw toys to it and when you call it you have to click on call and a recognition voice says" come here girl" and that is all it says all i kept thinking the whole time was is this all it is ?it was so boring that i just opted myself out of the game . if you wanna try it out play the demo first ,other wise youll waste your money.

Very fun
this is a great game for younger children and the coolest part is the puppy grows in real time although its kind of repeative its a pretty cool game. ... Read more

Fabulous!!!
After doing alot of researching and reading reviews I purchased Kelly's Pet Parade and it is fabulous.
Great Game!!
I recently purchased this for my 3 year old daughter.She LOVES this game!The games are great.They get more challenging as you improve.Also dressing up Kelly and her friends is great fun.My daughter especially loves grooming the animals and getting them ready for the parade.You can decorate the floats, and you have many decorations to choose from.Although not that educational, it does help them improve on their hand/eye coordination.Very fun for a little girl!Definately a must have!

I was voted "favorite aunt" by my 3-year-old niece!
Apparently this is about the best $... I have spent lately (aside from the Gameboy game I sent my nephew).My niece is mesmorized by this game, and it is keeping my sister busy building parades.My niece is a little too young to run this program by herself, but she has definitely figured out what button needs to be pushed to make the parade start!My sister also told me that she likes the fact that you can save multiple parades for those days when she just doesn't have time to help create a new one.This seems to be a winner! ...

Saddle up : Time to ride
I have had this game for about 2 years now and I still can't figure out the code for the wheel thing! It is a fun game but it can be frustrating! The graphics are okay but the way the horses back up is really weird! When you pick the hooves it's realistic that if you accidently pick the frog (the inside part of the hoof) you loose points but the amout of pebbles in the hooves?! This game is neat because the competions are great and you can make your own personalized competition and the horses come in a wide vairity but I think Saddle up with Pippa Funell might be more enjoyable!

This game is really cool!
At first, this game was confusing. The hoof picking really confused me. The trick to hoof picking is to NOT clean in all spaces that look dirty. Only pick the right side of the hoof and try not to get the top. The mystery was hard to solve, I had to chase a crazy person on horseback five times before I could follow him without being seen and it was kind of frustrating. I got to do lots of competitions, but winning more horses meant more chores. Talking to the people was fun (except Garance). I LOVED this game and I recommend it to anyone who is patient and loves horses!

Boring
It is perity boring once you play it alot but it is perity fun.the other thing about it is once you are this close to ending the game it will get so hard you even need a grown up with you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

All right but nothing great
I first got Dogz 3 and I liked it so I decided to get Dogz 5. I got bored of it after about 2 days. The Dogz are kind of cute, but they look nothing like real dogs. The dogs react the same way to all of the toys. If you put them on any ledge they will get very sad and scared. They can't tell the differnce between being brushed or bathed. They refuse to drink any water(so in real life they would be dead). Though it is fun to see what the new born puppys look like. And my dogs always fought with each other. I think that kids ages 5-8 would probably enjoy this game. But kids older then that should get nintendogs.
Greatest Game Ever
I got Dogz5 a couple of weeks ago.I have so much fun playing it.The best thing about it is that you can have an unlimited number of dogz.There are five new play scenes.My favorite is the Asian Temple because there is a lot of space for your dogz to play.I really like breeding the dogz.I have two litters and three on the way.On the game I have a pug named Max.In real life, I also have a pug named Max.The puppies are so cute!There are fifteen different breeds of dogz.The new breeds are golden retriever, papillion, Jack Russell terrier, German Shepherd and pugs.There are pigs and other dogs for host characters.The pigs are really mean.To get rid of the host, either click the option button at the top of the screen and select No Host or drop the host by the red pet door or throw them off-screen.I have almost 70 dogz.That's it for now!

Petz 5 is the best game you can get a child!
if you can't-or don't want to- get a real pet for your kids then this is perfect! I have both dogz and catz but I'm writing for catz because im a cat person. Anyway, this is a fun game for all ages and the best thing is that everything- from the pets to the breeds to the playscenes- is a file! if your friend has petz and you want to give them a pet as a gift, put the pet on a floppy disk or e-mail it! Also, it's proven that kids with pets become more sympathetic adults. So buy this for your child today.
Please Help! Need answer!
I bought this game days ago and my suitcase thingy got stuck so I had to reinstall. Now I have had my new catz for about 6 days and they are not adults! They are still kittenz! Can someone please help me! The game says they will be grown-ups in three to four days, but they are still kittenz on the sixth day from which I adoped them! (Keep in mind I adopted them 6 days ago.)Please help me!

An Awsome game!
This game is so much fun! You get to play with your pets, feed them, groom them and they can even fall in love and have kittens.

Creatures: Exodus PC
It's an interesting game but, the norns aren't like real animals I've seen at the zoo or on pbs science programs. They can't stand being next to moren than 1 other norn. Other then mating they have nothing to do with their own children. If a parent is tired and her baby kisses her or gets next to her she hits them which damages their internal organs. She won' even hold or rock her own babies. Other than humans I know of no other real animal that is such a poor parent. ... Read more

Sooo fun but it doesn't work on my computer
Babyz is so fun. It's like baby dolls for big kids. The only thing is, it doesn't work on all computers, which makes me mad because this is one of the best games I've played!

Great Game!
This game is a lot of fun.I have catz, catz 3, dogz 4, dogz 5, and babyz.It's kind of like playing dolls on your computer.You get to feed them, dress them, play with them, give them baths, and change their diapers. I have lots of babyz.My first one was a boy, who I named Tyler.He's bald, big, and can be kind of cranky, but he's really cute. Overtime your babyz will learn to walk, talk (using the voice program),grow hair, and get teeth. It was so cool when my babyz first started to learn to walk.You hold their hand and they take tiny steps, sometimes the fall. This game is so awesome, everyone I know loves it! I have one suggestion for the company, MAKE BABYZ 2! This game is so fun, but now I only have one computer that it runs on, in my parents room.Babyz 2 should be compatible with newer computers like windows xp, 'cause lotsa peole have those kind of computers now. Thanks for reading my review, I hope you enjoy Babyz!

soooooooooo much fun!
i love this game! my best friend has it and whenever we are at her house we play with her "daughter" hailey! she is so cute! she is blonde with brown eyes! any ways i am so asking for this! i just love how cute they are! there are a few downers like it doesn't take much overfeeding to make one overweight! i found that out with "Paris" her other baby. also you cant use one disc to install on 2 computers! grrrrrrrrrrrr~

good KIDS game
I'm well over the recommended age and I LOVE Creatures III... so when I saw this one, I snapped it up thinking I would love it too.I was wrong.This one is TRUELY geared towards younger kids.
Kid Friendly Game with Lots of Playability
I just picked up this game the other day and my 5 year old started playing it right away. She has been addicted ever since. I got bored with it rather quickly, but I had to remember that my boredom is not what determines whether this is a good game or not. My daughter finds the game very easy to manuver and loves all of the different activities she can do with her Norns.

C3 is the most awesome game I have ever played!
Thousands of years ago, the Shee created three species.They were norns, ettins, and grendels. Norns are adorable things that look like a mix between a puppy, a kitten, and a mouse. Ettins are creatures that love heat and will steal machinery, so lock it up! Last but not least, my favorite, the grendels! Sure, they kill norns and ettins, but I think they're cute! Don't underestimate them, though! I suggest you use downloads From the websites www.creaturescaves.com and www.creatures.amberz.net to protect your creatures! Now for a history lesson ;). Creatures 1 & 2, took place on Albia, a planet wich is, well, literalty flat. Creatures 3, however, takes place on a spaceship called the Shee Ark. The Shee left Albia, searching for a more spherical home (dumb reason to leave your old planet, eh?). That was centuries ago. This is now. You've discovered the Shee Ark. The fate of the norns, ettins, and grendels is in your hands now. If you want to know any aditional info, go to http://creatures.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page.

Cute Game
I must admit this version of Creatures completely blew away the other two. I loved the other two as well but, to an extent. You couldn't controll the norns or grendals as well as you can in this game. In fact, you can literally pick them up and move them around with you mouse after activating a certain device.
Best Creatures yet
This game blows away the previous versions! And can be docked to "Docking Station" for a huge combined world where norns can roam freely throughout cyberspace. Totally addictive and absolutely a blast! ... Read more

This game is a piece of junk!!!
FInally got it to work
My 6 yr. old daughter bought this game at WalMart with her own money. We brought it home and like everyone else, it crashed time after time. She was REALLY upset!
Complete Garbage!!!
Whoever put this together should be ashamed of themselves.My daughter spent birthday money to buy this at a retail store.(I should have gone online and looked at the reviews, first.)I spent an hour trying to get it to work and installing patches.The game just simply does not work.What I could get to work did not look very interesting or fun.DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! ...

Awesome!
I am a vetran Creatures Player, and as a comment to Creatures 2, This is the BEST!! When you hatch your norns, you can feel that bond that develops beetween you both. The Norns are undeniably cute, intelligent, and just plain funny! If I were you, BUY NOW!!!! Certain applets let you play with your norn's mind, or you can play with one Norn and have a brilliant time! It's open-ended, so play to your own prefrences! There are also many sites that let you create your own breeds, download new ones, download COBS, and so on! It's also very realistic. The norns live, eat, breed, die,(though there are some immortal ones that are floating around in Cyberspace ;) ) There's weather, the sun sets and rises, snow falls, heat waves follow, and so much more? Why are you still reading? Get going! See that little Buy button? Click it if you know what's good for ya!

This game could do alot better!
When I first got this game I was so excited because it was used andI had been waiting for weeks. But when I got on the game it took me a while to even hatch an egg! The help would not work only tips! They say this game is for six and up well there is a fertility section that explains "sex vibes" and that is not appropriate for six and under plus the norns are impossible to feed so they die!!! This is the best Creatures-game, I think!

Without a doubt the best version
There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best version ever. ONLY 95/98 Compatible! NOT XP/2000
This is a wonderful game, however everyone should know that they do not advertise that this is compatible with ANY other version of Windows other than 95 & 98. They do not claim that it will and they are unsure that they will update it. Also, this was written/supported by UBI Soft, but the current Petz are owned/supported by Broderbund, I believe.

very interesting
I bought this game at wal-mart expecting something so fun and it turned out to be so dumb, on the cover it says "Decorate and Ride the Horse of you Dreams!" yeah right it only give you 6 different horses to choose from and a 8 different designs that you decorate the horse with(you can mix/and match them). The only Disney princess that sounds like her self is bella and snow white's voice is SO ANNOYING. When you ride the horse it is so easy and dumb because a bird tweets when you should press the space bar.When you first start there is (i think) ten ribbons you choose which color you want(it doesn't matter which one)to start the thing about it is that you don't remember which one you where playing with so you to check each one so annoying. The only good thing about this game is that my 6 year old brother likes it and my sister who has down syndrome absoluty loves it. She plays it as much as possible. I have to help her a little bit with the riding but other than that she does it her self. She loves cinderella but the only time she(cinderella) is on is the beginning. ... Read more

Flawless!
This game totally rocks! Your little kitties and puppies from Catz and Dogz 2 can actully marry and have a puppy or kitten! Also the game dosn't crash like Catz 4 and 5, and it allows you to have more Petz (Catz 5 never ever worked with more than 2 Catz for me). Also there is wayyy more toys and you can take off their Clothez or dress them up. There is 1 more breed than Catz 2, too. The Tabby was introduced (unless you downloaded it from the site) I like all of the mini-features (sink turns on, open cabnits and store things, etc.) This game has nothing wrong with it!

catz is the answer to any almost any problem!!
Ever since i had my first computer i had catz and dogz from pf magic. I started out with catz and dogz 1 at the timei have never seen anything like it , i fell in love. Then I found out they came out with catz 2, it had better graphics and was so much better then catz 1. Of course after that i got catz 3, I didnt get dogs on account that my computer (win 95) died. Catz3 was the best so far, more breeds, clothesl,more toys, and they could have kittens (G rated no inapropreit matieral). there was actually diffrent worlds you could go to, and you could download more!! Without a doubt the best version!
There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best version ever.Read more

It's a great game!
I loved catz(and dogz) 4! I must admit that it was a shame that the voice recognition did not work to well but it was a good idea, other than that it was fantasic! If you loved petz 4, i recomend petz 5, it's even better.
Yuck
Mindscape (they made this, Ubi Soft made Petz 5) made some real mistakes. wow!
This game is great it has so many things that you can do like playing with the catz,feeding traveling to places like the dessert or to the circus where you can meet other catz.You can also breed your catz and then in about 3 days you'll have a newborn. You also now own a house that you can decorate for your style with pictures of your catz,and so much more.Though there is a new catz5 game out which is even better, I also highly suggest getting this game too.If you buy both games they will come up as one and you can bring all of your catz from catz4 onto catz5. ...

Petz 4
(This is a review for both games) In appearance, this game looks a bit boring. Trust me. It's a LOT of fun. You adopt a dogz or catz(No, that is not a typo) and name them(For example, I got a Dalmatian and named her Sakura)Then, you sign an adoption pledge. Let the fun begin! Entertain yourself for hours watching your dogz or catz play games, interact, and if they're adults, even fall in love and have kittens/puppiez!
Petz is about the Community
Everyone loves petz, of course, and if you buy this game, make sure not to buy Petz 5! It is TERRIBLE, and what's worse, it makes your petz unable to go back into Petz 4! At any rate, Petz isn't about the game, although it's fun, it's about the community. Go see the wikipedia article on the Petz Community if you don't know what it is, and if you're thinking of buying this game, track us down!

child's dream
This is a vertiual pet game and it is cute. It was bought for my seven year old daughter who absoulutly adores it. The game is simple and doesn't have alot of tecnical stuff to confuse her. The graffics of the world and the creatures are beyond compare. I do think We should get the expansion world though(Creatures Play Ground)mainly becausse the area of play is so small. But even alone it is a great game.

Worst Creaturest game..
This game isn't the best of Creatures. You can't teach norns to speak. There are no other species than norns(there were grendels and ettins in the another C-games) And, norns age too fast! They live only one game year! And you can have only 4 norns at a time...there's nothing exciting about the game...Well, I know that this game is meant to younger children(I'm 14), but still, this is a too dull version of Creatures games. The game has no actual story, like the other norn games had. There are not even any addons aviable for this in the net! I love Creatures Adventures
Cretures Andventures is the best in the cretures series! This is a game that`s for children that love animals and don`t like fighting games.I like it because it doesn`t have fighting and is about animals. Yo`ll love this game! ... Read more
