I got Dogz 3 about 2 years ago and I was instantly hooked, I plaed it almost every day and created a couple fansites. Now Im 14 and in highschool I gave up petz 3 long ago. I gave away the CD and deleted all my petz related stuff off the computer. I recently got dogz 4 for christmas, It's a fun game and the dogz are hilarious to play with, but its isnt much different from dogz 3. I havnt tryed the voice recignition thing yet but i hear it doesnt work very well. ...its fun to do and everything but petz does get boring fast. Its a wonderful game for younger kids though.
