No system is safe from the pet sim : Dogz arrives on N-Gage

It seems like a videogame system just hasn’t made it, until it receives its first pet simulation. The latest incarnation of the N-Gage has just received its first pet sim, Dogz, thanks to Gameloft. The game is rated for ages 3+ (like a kid would own an N-gage), is a small 1MB download and even has a free trial option. It’s only available in the UK though, and is available for £1.50 for one day, £4 for a week and £6 for unlimited use.

Dogz, like Nintendogs from Nintendo and Petz: Dogz from Ubisoft, lets you raise virtual puppies. There are three different breeds of dogs to pick from, and based on screenshots the breeds appear to be a lab, jack russel and shiba inu. There are also nine different places to explore with your dog and eight mini-games to play. You can also see how your dog ranks compared to other dogs online.

Apparently, Dogz isn’t fairing too well among fans so far. The official Dogz page lets users review the game, and as of now (12:25pm CST, August 27, 2008), it has received one and a half stars out of five.
