We as gamers crave unique experiences and perspectives in our games and this one delivers. About the only people I can imagine not enjoying this game are die-hard cat people (Dog’s rule, by the way). Give this game a chance, you won’t regret it.

The graphics are very crisp and look great and the soothing music suits the game perfectly. It’s evident that research has been put into the game to capture the movements of dogs correctly, and it really shows in the end.

Played when I was a child and it still lives rent free in my head. I love it that much. I always was a dog person so being able to control a dog was a dream come true for younger me. Inovative for it's time with an absolutly bonkers story.

This game keeps it clean and keeps it fun and is something that we can recommend for kids and not feel all weird about it. So go out and be a dog.

There are few games I would sooner recommend to parents for their kids, and if those parents happen to be gamers, they might very well be sneaking down after bedtime to get their own fix. [Sept 2004, p.107]

There's always something to do in this game. The pace may not be frenetic and the challenges are relatively easy but they are well balanced making the gameplay appear random in a realistic way.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in here. Roaming in smellovision mode is the game's greatest tool for making you feel like you're piloting an animal. It makes exploring a dull path feel way more exciting than it should be. [Jan 2004, p.102]

Soon enough, though, the novelty wears off, and you start to realize the incredible tedium involved because the entire game is a fetch quest - with the ultimate goal being to free some bitch (literally) that got picked up by the dogcatchers. [Sept 2004, p.89]

remake it please
We are in a time where there are few fairy gamesBecause companies now make games just to make moneyShe doesn't want to make a game that history will **** nest in the player's memory!Take the direction of the games only now In the field of zombies, monsters and aliensNot to mention the intention of companies to enter the online field to earnGame of the life of a dogVery beautiful I played it when I was 10 years oldAnd until now I remember the Sandtrak and the beauty of the story and the mapAnd the beauty of nature

Un gioco che non stanca mai, mi sono divertito a diventare un cane. Un gioco davvero magnifico che merita molto di più. Spero facciano un sequel.

I actually found the game fun at first, as the dog moves very fluidly and does its business, lies down, growls.... Anyway, a dog simulator, but it's monotonous for hours of gameplay. The dog also has a drug addiction LooooooL

juego entretenido algo molesto en algunos momentos y no te dice nada como debes avanzar en los siguentes niveles, un control algo difici inconmodo en momentos, pero en general es entretenido si te gusta los juegos random de ps2 el doblaje esta piola pero su final es super turbio recomednado solo para aficionados

Me and my friends laughed at this game for a good week, then we all forgot about it. Good old times.
