Petz Dogz 2 is a Nintendo Wii title that debuted in the United States as a pet simulation experience. The game places the player in the role of a caretaker who selects a puppy from a collection of animated fuzzy companions each with its own visual style and personality. Once a puppy is chosen the player can dress the animal in a variety of clothing items and accessories that are unlocked as the game progresses. The environment can be customized with furniture toys and decorative objects that reflect a domestic setting and the player is encouraged to interact with these items to create a personalized space for the pet. Gameplay revolves around daily care tasks such as feeding playing grooming and training which gradually unlock new abilities and special abilities for the puppy. The title includes a series of mini games that test reflexes coordination and problem solving and these mini games serve as a gateway to earning additional rewards. As the player continues to nurture the puppy the animal grows in size and complexity and new quests and adventure scenarios become available expanding the scope of exploration. The narrative is light and focuses on the bond between the player and the animal companion rather than on complex story elements. Critics noted that the game fits squarely within the simulator genre and that its design mirrors other titles in the Petz franchise while taking advantage of the Wii\u2019s motion controls to enhance interaction. The release was officially recorded as a United States launch and the title was added to the iOctavio.com database on February 13 2008 marking its inclusion in a broader catalog of interactive entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
