I got this one for my daughter but was a bit put off when I learned that I would have to keep purchasing more 'food' for the game through the appstore. Instead of buying more food, I decided to buy her a different app. I settled on one called Little Cook. In that game the player is given a bunch of meal choices and they can mix in any of a large selection of random ingredients. After they are done making the meal it is given to a little food critic who gives her honest reactions (these can be quite hilarious). My daughter has been playing it for days and is not sick of it yet...and I have not had to pump any more money into it!

Why companies keep doing these tactics.?
Once you run out of food you have to pay for more food, and if you run out of food again
guess what.? - you have to pay again.

and this happens again and again and again.
Why do people have to keep paying for the same game over and over.

I still cant believe Apple is allowing this in their store.
Which is why I now frequent the iTunes store less and less.

There is always a company who has to ruin it for everyone.
some company who wants to be extremely greedy and want to be rich over night.


Please people, DO NOT buy or support this game.
don't support this type of company doing these types of selling tactics.

Those other folk seem to have missed the point of this game, it\'s a casual game. Your meant to pick it up for ten minutes at a time, not play it for hours on end. In that respect it\'s excellent, there\'s always something to do and keeps you wanting more. Much like ngmocos other recent release Eliminate I find myself checking the clock to see if my energy/food will have recharged yet, I\'ve been playing both these games everyday since release and have yet to pay a penny.
As a pet sim Touch Pets excells, I had a tamagochi when I was a kid and when I first heard about Nintendogs I thought it would be great but when I eventually tried it the lack of interactivity and wooden dogs dissapointed me, this game is everything Nintendogs shouldve been.
