Poor man's games
Sort of the same, but somehow worse... We investigate the low-cost versions of our favorite games
Dogz is the Poor man's Nintendogs
"There's no such thing as too much cute" says the Dogz game website. We disagree. DS already hasNintendogs, and that's plenty enough cute for one handheld.
Especially when Dogz is a visually inferior rip-off, looking more like a GBA game with its day-glow cartoon style and a repetitive groom, walk, feed, throw ball, clean up mess game mechanic, entirely lacking the charm of the original. We recommend you throw this sickly mongrel down a well.
