Whether you're a die-hard dog lover or trying to teach kids responsibility before you get them a pet, the virtual pet game Petz 2: Dogz is an incredibly fun and simple game to play. The game gives you a whole pack of digital pups that need your love and support. It also supplies you with the tools you need to make their virtual lives all the more fun.
Types
In the game, you have the option to make your main character out of up to 40 different breeds of dog. Your dog will be both your pet and your in-game avatar, so choose a breed that you like a lot. The breeds all seem to play the same, so whether you choose a beagle, a Welsh corgi or a chocolate lab, your puppy will be cute and fun to play with.
Setting
In a small village of dogs (or, technically Dogz), your puppy awakes one morning to be told about the Magic Hat, as well as a mysterious wolf who's recently turned up in the village. You and your playful best friend are going to explore both of these things, but will start by playing a few games and getting used to the controls. If you're lost in the plot of the game, start by asking your friends or other dogs you meet to get some hints and tips.
Tools and Items
The game introduces you to a whole wealth of tools and items that will help you in your adventure. You use the tools for things like catching bugs and fish, finding your way around town and repairing the damage caused by the evil wolf. You use the items for completing requests by the people in the village--for instance, you need things like cotton to repair some of the key buildings like the drug store.
Smells
To help you find items, the game uses a sort of radar system: smells. You learn the smell of certain items, and those smells will help you pick them out later. You learn this at the beginning, when your friend has you hunt down the bug net and fishing rod. You'll use this skill again and again, as many of the items you need to find, you'll find by scent. A compass-like icon will appear on the screen directing you to the object you're looking for.
Exploration
The island is a big place, and there are countless areas, dogs, items and missions you can undertake. If you're lost or confused, the best thing to do is talk to your neighbors on the island, and look for a mission to take on--a repair or an item you can find for them. This usually unlocks things you later need to progress through the island, as well as giving you hints on what to do next.
