Customer Reviews

Purr-fect!
I'm surprised by the negative reviews on this game. Our family absolutely loves this game! We have several Wii games, and this has been our kids' favorite since we bought it two months ago. My son is 7 and my daughter is 4 1/2, and they both love it. The cover picture makes it look like it is a cutesy girly game, but it is not. I would say the ideal target audience for this game would be boys and girls, ages 4-10. There are dozens of cats to choose from to play. There are so many lands to explore. The reviewer who said that their child "beat the game" quickly must have been playing the game for 72 hours straight, because my kids have gotten over 2 months enjoyment out of this game and aren't even close to "beating it" yet. What we like most about it is that it is a happy and positive game for kids... The lands are so beautiful and detailed, the cats adorable (without being cutesy), the play is very positive (mostly doing helpful things for other cats in the neighborhood), and each land has its own unique and pleasant background music. (No violence, no scary images, no complicated rules of play.) I think this game would appeal to older kids as well. If your child (boy or girl) likes animals, they will definitely like this game.

Not for little kids
I purchased this game, without reading any reviews and I wish I had. My little sister used to LOVE playing Catz on the PC (back in the mid-90's), and it was basically a game where you create a cat, dress them up, have them play, have them make kittens, etc (kind of like the Sims for cats). I expected this game to be the same way (the box seems to insinuate that it is). Although it is easier than some of the other Wii games, it's not a game for a 5 year old.

1. There is a lot of reading involved.
2. The adventure resembles a LOT like Zelda... complete with hearts, fishing, catching bugs, and learning new skills.
3. They found the snakes to be scary (yes, they just sit there, but my 3 and 5 yr old kids were crying that the cat was going to get hurt by the snake)
4. My 22 year old sister found it fun though. The kids like watching a grown up playing the game, and aside from the bad guys that they found scary, it's a pretty tame game.

Edit:
Ok, so I played the game and beat it. It has zero replay value... if you beat the end guy, that's the end of the game, you can't go back in and play the minigames or anything, or complete any tasks that you didn't do (find 10 special watermelon, etc). The main menu's minigames is a race with 3 tracks. I think they could've at least put some of the minigames that are in the adventure as accessible from the main menu (there's dodgeball, a sled pull, etc).

The money in the game is meaningless. You can buy clothing for your cat or give clothes to the towns cats. You can store fish in the aquarium, and flowers in the flower beds. But they're all kind of meaningless things to do. The end guy, while easy enough for a video game noob like me, would be way too hard for my 5 yr old (plus the end guy HURTS you and that freaks her out).

Oh and if they give you a task to catch a certain fish, it takes FOREVER of catching random fish before you get that one that they want.

I still give it a thumb down, maybe a rental, but not a buy unless it's on the clearance rack.

cute kitty adventure game for all ages!
i was reading some of the reviews here and many are really misleading.

first, this isnt a pet sim game. it is a game where you choose a kitten, name them and go on adventures. the game is a very cute adventure game with mini-games. if you like kittys and Zelda-esque type games, you will enjoy this game. you can also dress up your kitten with clothes you buy from the shop. the game doesnt have an amazing story or much replay value like a Zelda game, but this IS pretty much a budget kiddy game. although, as someone in their 20s, i did enjoy playing through the game.

and, when you beat the game you CAN still go back and do things you missed the first time around. like most other games, it does not save when you beat the last boss, so you can load your last save file anytime.

this game is VERY much for children. the story is very simple and so is the gameplay. there is nothing scary/bad in this game at all (well, you CAN throw rocks at other animals, if that would upset you). i did, however, find the game to be frustrating at times (fishing, the last boss especially), but what game doesnt have its moments?

i saw some people complaining about the reading required. well, wouldnt you want your child to read? having them play a game that requires reading would encourage them to learn. or, you could sit with them and help them read it/read it to them. you shouldnt really leave your young child unsupervised when they are gaming anyway.

also, the game does teach about helping others and how doing wrong things is bad. the story does focus about the "big bad wolf" trying to do evil things, but your kitty trys to right those. if you dont want your child witness such "atrocities" then you might as well lock them in a closet for life.

to sum it up, basically if you like advenute games that involve kittys with simple gameplay, this is a game to play. children and adults alike will get a kick out of Petz Catz 2!
