Summary: Great American Game
Review: This game is one of the best PC games I have ever had. You can adopt as many dogz as you want (but remeber you have to take care of your dogz everyday, or they will run away!)and there are 10 different breeds. Then when your petz grow to be Adultz they can have dogz of thier own, and the dogz apperance is a mix of both paren'ts triats. Then you can go to a Gypsy Cirucus and blow up balloons or Get a flea circus, or you can go to the beach for a fun-filled ay, or even the Wild Wild West where you can mmet the big Sherrif Dog. You can dress them in virtually anything, Helmets, Bows, Skirts, Mowhawks, you name it!! And there are all kinds of toys for your dogz too. You can go online with the dogz online gift package (comes with the game!!) and you can download different playscenes, or make yor own website of your pets. And with ViaVioce Recongition (not included) You can talk to your dogz and They will do tricks for you. If you have Cats 4 too, you can get the whole gang together and play. This game is great, and I dont think it could ever become Obsolite.

Review: I wasn't sure what to think after reading all of the reviews here on Amazon. Half are positive, half are negative. But when I finally received my game (ordered somewhere else) my experience was half-n-half also! The game was quite frustrating to install, as it kept asking me to install something that my dad and I couldn't figure out. But once it WAS installed correctly I had loads of fun. It's great to be able to have your own virtual pets to dress, feed, play with, and care for. A real puppy is probably even more enjoyable, but this game is wonderful if you can't have one. The new play scenes, like the Wild West and Gypsy Circus, are ok, but I personally like the regular kitchen, family room, and backyard better. You can also create your own playscenes using your own pictures. The Playscene Editor actually was very easy to use, telling you exactly what you needed to do to create the playscene. There is a wide variety of great toyz and accesories to use, and 10 breedz to choose from. (As well as a pig!) The voice rcognition works ok, but I haven't experimented too much with that. A big excitement that comes with this game is the ability to breed your dogz! It's usually pretty easy to make your petz fall in love (the Help section of the game gives you tips), and in a few days (not even a week) you have a beautiful new puppy that Mommy carries around with her! I love watching the pupz grow up. I would definitely recommend this game. Oh, but you won't want to buy it if you don't have much hard drive space because it requires a whopping 300 MB. :( As long as you've got the GIG, you should have the game!

Summary: Dogz4
Review: This is a great game. It is educational, beacause it teaches you responsibility, and its fun. I think people from about 7-12 would enjoy it. It doesn't crash your computer apart from the screen saver, but occasionally it does not run. I have Catz 5 too now, and I personally think it's better, but that may just be cos I don't have a real cat :-).

Summary: Dogz4-The Easiest Virtual Pet!
Review: I own Dogz4 and Catz4. I recommend them both to any animal lover! In Dogz4, you adopt as many Dogz as you like. You get to choose from ten Dog Breeds, such as Great Danes,Poodles, Bulldogs, Dalmatians, Scotties, Pigz, Mutts, Chihuahuas, and many more! Once you've adopted your petz, you bring them home. There, you can feed them, train them, dress them up, collect new toys, and bring them to different places! Once they're adults, you can breed a female dog and a male dog to have a puppy! I prefer mixed breeds because it's always a surprise but you can also breed purebreds! But you can't breed a dog with a pig or a dog with a cat or a dog with a bunny or a cat with a pig or a cat with a bunny. If you have WinZip, you can download breeds such as Wolves, Germen Sheperds, Border Collies and many more off of the internet! I give this game five starrs!

Summary: Better than Petz 5!
Review: I don't have petz 4, but i want it! I do have dogz 5, but I think 4 is better even if there are only 10 breedz. I like how There is no Nursury in petz 4 when your petz have puppyz or kittenz when in petz 5 the babies have to stay in the nursury for a week. in this version, they can go places with their mom and dad (or another petz). And you don't have to win your toyz. You already have all your toyz in the toy closet when you first launch the game! In petz 5 you have to win your toyz in the mini-games. And most of the time you keep winning the same toy or treat or whatever over and over. So I would definately buy petz 4! Don't waste your money on the other versions!!

Summary: Yuck
Review: I was not satisfied with this game.There are no new breedz, unless you count pigz. Sure, these pigz are cute, but they aren't dogz, so I don't see where they came from. You can't breed them either. This is unfortunate. There are new clothes, but they don't have complete outfits! For example, you get a knight's helmet, a knight's pants, and possibly a knight's socks, but no shirt. How is your dog supposed to be a Knight of the Round Table with no shirt? In fact, many shirts are missing from outfits. It's ridiculous! You have new toys too. I have to say, I don't have many problems with the toys. Some are really neat, but the roach motel to get rid of roaches doesn't work. The dogz play with it and the cockroaches never go into it. I guess it gathers fleas. You also have new playscenes. These are pretty cool except for one thing: they lose their toys. For example, the Circus has a cannonball, and the Snowscene has a sled. Both of these toys were gone the second time I opened the game. How are you supposed to enjoy the toys then? Disappointing, is it not? You also have voice recognition. Too bad it doesn't work! It is annoying to get it installed, and it is even more annoying to get it to work. Then you finally get it to work and your dogz think you are saying "Sit" when you said "Stay". All in all, voice recognition is useless and I can't get it to work properly. Finally, you have bugs, and I'm not talking about cockroaches. I mean computer bugs. The food dish bounces around when your petz jump or walk toward it, so they never get to eat. The dogz don't drink from the water bowl. Like I already said, toyz disappear from the playscenes. Playscenes you make in the editor may not work properly. Basically, the only way to enjoy this game is to go online and download a thousand new breedz. I don't see why you should bother. This game is just like Dogz 3 except that it gets old quick and it is full of bugs.

Summary: Don't use on win 2000 or xp
Review: I purchased Dogs and Catz for my children to play with because 5 sounds to advanced for them. The problem is I cannot get either to run on windows XP or 2000, even though I have installed all the patches. I also cannot get IBM Via phone to work. Catz and Dogz 2 still works fine on both versions though-go figure?
Update I finaly got the games working, but not the Via phone. It took alot of searching to find it and it requires editing the registry. To get to it go to the petz website and click on technical support, then go to fequently asked questions. Do a search on Petz and then read the one that has "While starting, the program the yellow progress bar located at the bottom of the screen freezes up." as the subject. Follow the instructions and most of your problems will go away.

Summary: Great Game!
Review: I loved this game, especially once my dogz all started to get in love! There were a few problems, like one of my Mutts was pregnat, and in about 5 months, she was still pregnat. Plus, I had trouble teaching my petz how to sit and come, but that's all right! I've got 4 granddogs, 9 dog parents, and 3 pups! One of my scotties were very funny, they burried a virtual pig! If your a dog lover fan (like me) than I'd recommend this to you!
