Summary: Virtuality at its Finest
Review: ...BR>


Petz 5 is coming.

With multiple-offspring litters, night and day cycles, and a whole troop of new breedz, who could not be entranced by a Terrier's whine? As soon as Petz 5 is launched, I guarantee you that there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of sales within the first month, and let me tell you, I'll be one of them. TV ads will return, and no longer will the millenia of boredom prevail. Be prepared for the Petz revolution, because they're back, and better than ever. If you are still unsure of preordering, I must tell you now: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?

Summary: Catz 5
Review: Although I have never played any of the Catz games I decided to get Catz 5 and it is brilliant! Heres why: (1) Litterz. You can breed your catz and dogz to get litterz of 1-4. You can make all sorts of different colour combinations and they can look really cool. (2) Playscenes. There are lots of Playscnes to look round and you can find secret items in them and play games. You can also find host character there which your petz will interact with. (3) Breedz. There are plenty of breedz to choose from each with their own distinct look and personality. Some of the breeds are fussy, some are smart some are bullies - it's cool to see how they interact with each other. I think the bad things about catz 5 are that you have to play games to get toyz and they repeat themselves so you keep getting the same ones :( The other thing is the weather. I saw it snowing out the kitchen window and went out into the garden - and it was sunny. =( Overall though this is a really fun game with plenty to do - if you like virtual pets you'll loooove Catz 5 :]

Summary: About Petz 5; Catz 5
Review: Catz 5 hasn't come out yet, but when it does I will buy it! With Catz you can play with your own cute little furball, and watch it have cute little furballs of its own. I have Dogz 4, and the game is amazing. Not only can you get into the PC "Petz Online Community" and chat with other Petz owners, download new Breedz, and enter your petz in online showz, just like reallife, you can... Ehehe, I pretty much told you all about it. But, Catz 5 will be amazing, and if you buy Dogz 5 your catz can interact with your dogz in Petz 5.

Summary: Well done!
Review: Catz 5 is a brilliant game! There are five new breedz, and they are quite cute! Well, most of them. Also, there are weather changes, along with day and night! You can also visit new areas, and there are mini games! You win toys from these mini games. Your catz can also have litterz! Unfortunately, there are some flukes. When my catz have litterz, all of the kittens but one don't make noise when they leave their mother! I find this weird, but I don't yet know if it happens all the time. Another fluke is when you try to feed your catz, the food dish bounces and falls. Your catz never get to eat! This can be solved, however, by bringing your catz to the Desktop. The food doesn't bounce around there. Also, you can pick toyz up right from the playscenes in the beginning, such as food and water in the Kitchen. If you don't pick them up, though, the next time you load the game, they are gone. So far, it doesn't look like you can win them back either! Another problem that I have is that when you win a toy and put it in your supplies case, yet don't take it out and into a playscene before you quit, it doesn't register you won the toy and you have to win it again; quite annoying. However, despite these errors, I still feel this is an excellent game that is worth buying.

Summary: A Game to Remember
Review: Catz 5 is a game to remember for all your life. You can choose from 15 different breedz to adopt: Alley Cat, Black and White Shorthair, Calico, Chinchilla Persian, Desert Lynx, Egyptian Mau, Honey Bear, Japanese Bobtail, Maine Coon, Orange Shorthair, Persian, Russian Blue, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Tabby. You can pick 2 breedz, have them fall in love, and they can make multiple litterz. The mini games are pretty easy, and sometimes you get repeat toys. :[ In the Arabia Scene there is a bug. If you win a picture frame from plaing the mini game, an image of the American Gothic thing comes up in the top left hand corner. But that does not matter, because there are litterz to care about. :]

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Puh leeze get something with more fun
Review: Catz 5 is kinda doppy. You choose catz from like 15 breedz and love em and feed em and care for em. When they are adults, they can breed and care less about you. You get a certificate of happiness. You play with them for two hours and then they get boring. My catz are terrible. They ran away from. I would rather just return this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love these virtual petz!
Review: Catz 5 was what I wanted most for Christmas this year. I got what I wanted--this game is pure FUN. I've been playing it nonstop ever since. Very much like Catz 4--except new mini-games, new breedz, are the big changes.

If you've never heard of catz or dogz (or any of the series), then you must know now! These games are about taking care of cats or dogs, raising them, feeding them, training them, and breeding them--basically it's like taking care of an animal around the house (except you don't have to scoop any litter or take any walks). =P It's the perfect gift for girls aged 8-13, or people who are cat/dog fanatics.

The scenes (places for catz to play in) in this game are pretty much similar to the ones in Catz 4, except now they have a Salon (umm...I think it wasn't in Catz 4 but I haven't played on Catz 4 for years), fantasy castle, AsianTemple, and a Haunted mansion. Yes, you can still design your own scenes for your catz to play in, and you now get to design your carrying case (w/ a paint program) for your catz! The scenes in this game are:
The Adoption Center
Backyard
Beach
Family Room
Fantasy Castle (new)
Haunted Mansion (new)
Kitchen
Salon (new)
--
Arabia
AsianTemple (new)
Circus
Snow Scene
South Seas
Wild West

To get items in this game for your Catz to play with, you must defeat little miniature games that are in scenes, such as tic-tac-toe (as silver-girl said, it takes about 3-10 times to mark an X in your area), rock paper scissors, Simon says, obstacle coarse, and scarab crunch. Almost all the items in this game are old ones from Catz 4. Thank goodness in this game you can hold unlimited items in your carrying case, unlike in older versions of games where you have to hold a maximum of 9. That's one of the reasons we're all glad for this game.

A female cat in this game can have a litter of 1-4 kittenz. They are almost always mixed breeds, really if you have to different types of catz. There are 15 different breedz of catz in this game -- Alley Cat, B+W Shorthair, Calico, Chinchilla Persian, Desert Lynx, Egyptian Mau, Honey Bear, Japanese Bobtail, Maine Coon, Orange Shorthair, Persian, Russian Blue, Scottish Fold, Siamese, and Tabby. You can't cheat anymore with your computer calendar to speed up the birth of your cats' kittens. Usually it takes babies to be infants 2-3 days, and kittens in 7 days. Then it takes 3-4 days to become adults. They grow up so fast...*sniff*

You still have the screensaver, in this game also. But what I HATE is that you need the CD in order to launch it (like the review that person wrote who only bought this for the screensaver). Don't bother buying this for the screensaver either; it's nothing really. It's just your catz playing with random items.

Please do not buy this if you already have Catz 4 and you expect a lot out of this game. If you want the extra stuff, I say go for it. It's not much different than Catz 4--just more breedz, 4 more scenes, and mini-games which you play to earn new items.

Well, that's my review.
