Littlest Pet Shop Friends - Nintendo Wii

My daughter's love Littlest Pet Shop so when I saw this game it screamed their names. I was a little nervous as to whether or not it would be kind of lame and to youthful for them (9 and 10 years old), but it wasn't. They loved this game and played it for hours the day they opened it. It brings out the pets they love from the earlier Littlest Pet Shop generations.

I was very excited for this game, especially since the first one was so great. But this is a very disappointing game. The graphics are great, but the game is terrible. Unlike the first game, the minigames in this are not fun at all, and rather tedious. There's only 1 minigame I actually enjoyed, and even then, it was not as fun as it could have been The 30+ animals in the first one have been cut down to like 10 in this version, which is very disappointing. The controls are atrocious, and it's very hard to control the pet. I did not like running around constantly to grab certain items, as you would have to have certain pets to do certain things, such as getting apples off trees, or digging items up out of the ground. They could instead have been turned into minigames that were actually fun. The dress up option was possibly the worst part of this game. It was way too frustrating, for example, you would attempt to take off a hat your pet was wearing, only for it to stay there. You could even put another hat on your pet, while it was wearing the same hat. It even caused some strange glitches to happen.However, this game did have one good point. It's a multiplayer game! But even then, the multiplayer still ends up being one of the drawbacks. While walking around the areas, if the second player strays too far away, the game will stop whatever you two are doing just to pull you two together, and that was very annoying. The minigames did not become any more enjoyable with a second player.Stick with the first and do not get this one.

Excellent!

My daughter got this for her 5th birthday. She loves everything Littlest Pet Shop, so this was on the top of her birthday wish list. She really loves playing all of the arcade games. Some of them are a bit tough for her, but she is getting better and better. When in the story mode where you have to complete different task, the only negative is that you need to be able to read to know what the animals are saying. Each of the animals will make animal sounds and the screen displays what they say, which is cute. However, for a child in Pre-K that isn't reading yet, she needs a parent or older sibling to help her read everything. She of course doesn't mind, but I would prefer that I don't have to sit there constantly while she is playing. All in all this is an adorable game that any Littlest Pet Shop fan will treasure!

Cute but my daughter didn’t care for it as much as I thought she would, but she is more hands on.

My daughter was super excited to get this for Christmas, she absolutely adores LPS!!!! I had to help her get started but she loves playing this game!!! Fast shipping!!

Dislike wasn’t working

My 6-year old daughter received Littlest Pet Shop Friends for Christmas. It was highly anticipated, since she loves the first Littlest Pet Shop Wii game. She is a proficient reader (which is a must for this game), so she enjoyed the animal conversations and written instructions. The graphics are cute, the concept is great, and she thoroughly enjoyed the game. However, this game is very linear (go here, play this...then go here, play that) with a singular mission of planning a party.She completed the game in 6-8 hours, max. She played the same game again with a second sign-in and completed it in about 3 hours. She is completely finished with the game and has no interest in it anymore.We are pretty disappointed that there wasn't more to this game; she kept asking if there were any more parties should could plan. Not a bad idea...wish the developers of the game would have thought of that!
