Pet Pals is a Virtual Pet edutainment game for Leapfrog’s Leapster and Leapster L-Max. The game is suited for players ages 4 to 7.
Kids of all ages love virtual pets! A look at Nintendo’s sales data reveals 13.6 Million copies sold, making their virtual pet simulation Nintendogs for the handheld DS the most successful DS game to date. It appears that Leapfrog looked across the Pacific to the “big N” in search for some game-play ideas…
Pet Pals let’s your children adopt one out of three different puppies. After giving it a name and signing the “Pet Pals Puppy Pledge” it’s of to feeding, bathing and entertaining the pet. All of the different activities offer a good mix of fun and education. We enjoyed seeing math, phonics and letter writing combined in one game. Pet Pals makes good use of the stylus and offers enough variety in mini-games to keep your kids edutained for some time.
We recommend Pet Pals because it feels and plays like a real “Game”, rather then an educational exercise with some button pressing.
…Here is one for all who enjoy nitpicking: Leapfrog used Scooby Doo’s “running feed” sound effect in the game which feels a little cheap and out of place – but we are sure your kids won’t care…
