At face value it’s hard not to make a direct comparison with Nintendogs + Cats, dtp young entertainment’s Cats & Dogs: Pets at Play looking strangely familiar.
Albatross Revue Writes:
Cats & Dogs Pets At Play is as you would expect from the title lots like the more famous Nintendogs and Cats only with far, far uglier cover art; don’t allow this to make you think it’s a poor relation though. It is very similar though, well it’s a pet-sim just not the best one out there.
Pocket Gamer's Peter Willington writes: "It's not as fully featured as Nintendogs + Cats, and it's not as thoughtfully produced. However, if you've exhausted Nintendo's first-party release and want a change of scenery, Cats & Dogs: Pets At Play is a decent alternative ideal for younger players."
15 new screenshots have been released for the upcoming 3DS title Cats & Dogs: Pets At Play.
