IGN: Hotel For Dogs Review

The main draw of the Hotel for Dogs film was all the cute and funny dogs doing wacky things like getting shoes out of vending machines. The game has none of that cuteness, save for a couple clips from the film itself. Instead you get a title that is barely a game at all. The only goals in it are to do the bare minimum to keep the dogs happy, then just move on. There is no visual, or gameplay rewards, and the game is over in a couple of hours. Hotel for Dogs is bad even for a low budget movie tie in. It doesn't seem to understand what a game is, and certainly doesn't understand what makes a game engaging for kids. Here's a tip for next time developers: No kids think hunting through dirty rooms for pipes is an enjoyable way to spend their time. 3.5/10
