Dogs Life (PS2)

A Dog's Life is a 3D action adventure game based on a dog - an idea that I haven't come across in any other game! If you exclude the first versions of the Commandos series on PC's and the Dead to Rights, very few dogs have appeared -even in the role of a helper of the main hero. THE PLOT The user is taking the role of Jake. Jake is a small but very clever dog the lives in a classic country house of the west states of America. Jake is in love with Daisy (how cute!) and when she is been kidnapped and taken away in a small truck, a big journey starts for Jake as he goes to find her. But he soon realise - very clever dog indeed! ...

BACKGROUND / STORYLINE ======================== The games storyline is straightforward . There is not much to Dog's Life, but what there is I find is entertaining enough.

Jakes adventure takes him through farms, towns, and ski slopes as he follows clues to get Daisy ...

Jake and Daisy are farm dogs in a small town in the country. When Daisy is kidnapped by a pair of evil dognappers working for the mysterious Ms Peaches Jake sets off to find her. His quest takes him out from the farm through a resort, a small town and finally the big city. On the way of course, he meets a number of other dogs, and takes every opportunity to indulge his love of bones... Its a fairly thin plot, but the gameplay is innovative, the characters simple but amusing and the puzzles different enough to hold a player's interest. Jake is a typical dog - he barks, digs, raids litterbins and marks territory. There are a range of dog-themed subgames ...
