Gamespot: Fantastic Pets Hands-On

We got to play with the cats, dogs, lizards, and ponies in THQ's upcoming pet sim.

Given the commercial and critical success of Kinectimals, it's no surprise to see other pet games arriving for the Kinect. The first is Fantastic Pets, from British development studio Blitz Games and publisher THQ. Unlike Kinectimals, which saw you adopting wild cats, Fantastic Pets offers you a variety of more domesticated animals–cats, dogs, lizards, and ponies, although as the name suggests, they all have fantastical variations. We were lucky enough to go hands-on with the game before it's due to arrive in April.
