GoPets: Vacation Island
© 2008 Konami Digital Entertainment Inc.
A bit like Animal Crossing but more complex and limited to the Nintendo DS, this simulation game lets you dress cats, dogs and birds, and then send them to five areas of a tropical island where they meet other pets, collect items, shop and so on. You can dress your pet, compete in mini-games to earn shells to buy clothing and special food, and design food and items to send to your friends. You can also chat and play with friends in party mode and download/unlock special items via DS Download Stations. There are no Internet features. Borrow it.
$30, Nintendo DS
