Advantages: Fun and easy to play

Disadvantages: Bit repetitive

--Background--

In this game you have a pet dolphin. Its similar in ways to the nintendogs games as you have a pet dolphin and you have to look after it. You use the stylus to look after and train your dolphin. There are many things you can do with your dolphin including feeding them the right food, playing ball games, stroking them.

To begin you have to make your dolphin like you and trust you before you can do many of the tricks and routines. You then carry out performances with the dolphin and the judges score you to see how well you have done.

--Controls--

You use the stylus to move items around by dragging them or clicking on items on the touch screen.


--Opinions--

The game is fun, easy to play and gives you a responsibility as your dolphin doesn't like it if you do something wrong. It also includes a did you know section so its educational too!

The only thing I would say is that I found it a bit repetitive after a while as you seemed to be doing the same thing over again.

--Recommendations--

I would recommend this game for children or young teenagers especially if they like dolphins. I would say if you enjoyed the nintendogs type games you will probably like this. It is not really suitable for serious gamers who like a challenge.

--Pricing--

This is currently £19.99 on Play.com. It doesn't seem to be on Amazon. The newer version of this My pet dolphin 2 has recently been released and is only £11.99 on play.com. I would recommend reading the reviews for that first before purchasing this game.

Summary: A good game especially for children
