Summary: A Dogz 5 Review ^-^
Review:
Hey! This is Qweenie @ QP4. I just got Dogz 5 the other day and I have to say it is pretty good... Well, here are the pros and cons of it:

Pro: 5 new breeds.
Con: No more adopting pigz.
Pro: Some new toys.
Con: No more toy closet, you must find all the toys yourself and/or win them from the mini games.
Pro: New playscenes.
Con: It takes a bazillion years to get from one playscene to the next and sometimes locks up.
Pro: Improved graphics.
Con: All the old bugs from Petz 4 are still there. (Although I haven't seen that darn Debug and Abort sign yet.^-^)
Pro: You can make litters!
Con: The maximum petz in a litter is only four and some people such as myself like to do at least five. =(
Pro: There are some neat weather effects and day and night cycles!
Con: They are just graphic effects and the petz don't even notice.

Okay, there are a lot more pros and cons of the game but I'm getting tired of writing this review so you'll just have to find them yourself. ;-)

Summary: More infromation on Dogz 5
Review: If you've played Dogz/Catz 4, you'll understand how much fun this game is. You can breed your Petz, enter them in Showz, and teach them tricks. Now that Petz 5 is coming out, everyone that has played Petz is excited. Now, there are day and night cycles, weather effects, petz have litterz up to 4 kittens/puppies, and there are five new breeds! What are the new breeds? Well, for sure are Pugz and Papillonz for the Dogz, but no word yet on Catz. There is a posibility that another Dog might be Colliez. Of course, there will also be Mini-Games and more toys and clothes and playscenes. Currently, there is a really nice playscene out of the "Grooming Palor", now you can bathe your Petz! I highly reccomend you buy this game. Visit my petz site, ... to check out some of my Dogz and adoptions, and go to Petz.com to see updates! Thanks, hope you have a wonderful time with Petz 5!

Summary: Its one of my favorite computer games!
Review: Breed 'em, train 'em, show 'em! You can adopt many different dog breeds and mix them to create new ones, or download hexed breeds off the net. .. You can feed, pet, and play with your Dogz as well. I've grown practically attached to some of the Dogz, like they were real or something! Dogz 5 is a terrific game, basically, but there are some things about it that makes me prefer Dogz 4.

Pro: Day and night cycles and weather effects!
Con: Your Dogz don't notice the weather or nighttime.
Pro: Litters!
Con: Only four pups or less per litter; you can only take the mom and her pups in the nursery when the pups are newborns and infants, and no one else is allowed inside with them.
Pro: New toys!
Con: You have to actually win or find them; no more toy closet.

I could go on for MUCH longer, esp. with the pros, but I'll spare you. Despite the cons, I think you should buy this game; it has served me many hours of merriment.

(Hard to believe I'm only twelve, ain't it? I'll be thirteen on March 16th, though.)

Summary: Dogz 5
Review: Dogz 5 is a wonderful game that I got a few weeks ago. I currently have about 50 dogz, of all different breeds. To me, this game is lots of fun, but my mom and some of my friends think it's boring. It kind of depends on what you like. If you like creator games like Roller Coaster Tycoon or Zoo tycoon, or if you like control games like the Sims, then this is the game for you.
If you do get bored with taking your dogs out and feeding, watering, and playing with them, there are a bunch of mini games in different play scenes like the Scarab Crunch in Arabia, Tic-Tac-Toe in the Wild West, or Simon Says in the Haunted Mansion.
After three or four days, when your dogz have become adults, you can choose to breed them. Making them fall in love is kind of tricky, but the puppies are really cute! Unless, that is, you breed a Poodle with a Chihuahua like I did once. The puppies weren't really what you'd normally call "cute."
A friend of mine has Dogz 4, but I think Dogz 5 is WAY better. It may not look very good, but it's great. It's worth the price.

Summary: Best Game Made Ever!
Review: Dogz 5 is a game where you adopt, raise, feed, and play with your own special dogz. There are many different breeds of dogs to pick from, and you can have as many as you want! But be sure you can take care of all of them or they will run away!

There are many different places you can go to such as the kitchen, backyard, nursery, Arabia, you can even create your own room, and more!

Your dogz can have litters of 1-4 puppies. You can help your dogz fall in love by using the heart pillow, love potion, and treats. You can earn these items by playing mini-games with your dogz such as tic-tac-toe.

Dogz 5 and Catz 5 in my opinion and many others' is the best game created since I have been born. My mom and dad can't take me away from the computer! Even if I'm going to a friend's house!

Summary: Improving on Dogz 4
Review: Dogz 5 is a great game for dog lovers, especially if you don't have a real dog. The game, along with the previous versions, is not a very realistic simulation, though, as a lot parts are left out. A few of these are: your Dogz don't go to the bathroom, you are not required to walk your Dogz, and your Dogz will not have more than four puppies. But, the game is still very fun. A few reviewers have mentioned that there isn't a toy closet anymore. Actually, your supply case becomes a portable toy closet, and works just the same way; except you have to win a lot of the toys in mini-games. While the environments and toys have better graphics, the Dogz themselves have the same graphics from Dogz 4. In fact, the game has a lot of the features from Dogz 4, such as the playscenes, costumes, and playscene editor. There are 5 new breeds, which are: Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Jack Russel Terrier, Pappillion, and Pug. There are a bunch of new costumes, including the ones the hosts wear in Dogz 4. There are a few new playscenes, including Salon (which is where the clothes closet is), Asian Temple, Haunted Mansion, and Fantasy Castle. There are now day and night cycles, which can be set to your computer's clock, and weather effects. There are some new toys. There are now mini-games for you and your Dogz to play. You get your toys from the mini-games. And now your Dogz can have litters of 1-4 puppies. One downside is that you can no longer adopt Pigz. If you own a previous version of Dogz, you can import your Dogz to Dogz 5, making your older version pretty much obsolete (unless you want Pigz). I would recommend this game to dog lovers and owners of previous Dogz games.

Summary: Definately worth your $$
Review: yes, this is a great game. i was very dissapointed when i got my new computer and found that my Dogz 4 game would not work on it because i had Windows XP. But Dogz 5 is the perfect alternative. Now, although there are a lot of wonderful new things about Dogz 5, there are some drawbacks. i have listed the pros and cons:

Pros:

* 5 new breedz!!!! - golden retrievers, German shepherds, jack russel terriers, papillons, and pugs
* Dogz can have up to 4 puppiez at a time!!!
* New playscenes - haunted house, fantasy castle, Asian temple, and Salon, which includes the bathtub and clothes closet
* Nursery - a room only availiable to momz with babiez
* all new toyz for your petz to play with!!!
* you get to take all the toys you own to any scene and play with as many you want!!!
* 5 mini games!!!
* Weather and day/night cycles!!! the weather changes, so it could be sunny one minute, or raining or snowing the next!!! and you can adjust how fast you want it to go from day to night!!!
* new and improved graphics!!!!
* you have a second chance to take care of one of your neglected petz that has run away
* many new clothes items!!!

Cons:

* no toy closet :-( , you have to find the toyz or earn them by winning mini games
* some of the mini games are hard, and you sometimes get a toy you already have
* no more adopting pigz, but there is a host character pig in the back yard
* no backrounds already made to choose from when creating a custom playscene

as you can see, there are waaaaaaaaaaay more pros than cons, so this game is definatley worth it.

Summary: my kids love this!
Review: this is my children's favorite software. they will play with this for hours on end. even though it's not reading/math type educational software, they are learning so much about computer screen navigation and data manipulation. this is also a must have for anyone who lives where you can't own pets. for kids 4-10 years old, it's super. i find myself even turning on the pc to 'check' on the dogs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grrrrrrreat Game!
Review: This is the best game yet!!! I love how you can feed them, pet them, dress them. It's like owning a real dog! My brother makes fun of me cuz i get so into it, he always says "its not like there real" but they are!! They have feelings ya know!

If you love dogs, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you BUY this GAME!!!!!! If you don't, your really missing out!! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT GAME!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Who let the Dogz 5 out??
Review: This game is really fun for all ages. I bought the original Dogz when I was 2 or 3 and I've been hooked on the games ever sience.

Pros:

New breeds
Weather efects
More than one puppy can be in a litter(or kitten if you have Catz 5)
More objects
More playscenes

CONS:

Petz don't respond to the weather. i.e. snowing and getting cold.
Daddies of the litter can't go into the nursery to see the litter.
You have to play games to get items.

That pretty much does it. I think that if you are between 4 and 400 this game is okay. It provides hours of fun and even though there are some cons, I thingk you should get this game. You won;t be dissipointed.
