 More interesting and less irritating than your average virtual pet! April 13, 2008

I guess this is a little early on to be leaving a review for this Item as I've only just got it, and so I may be back to update this review in time, but as I was so pleasantly surprised an impressed upon immediate operation, I thought I'd leave one anyway!
This is made of a much higher quality than most other small virtual pets I have seen. It has a touch sensitive area on the front below the screen, and looks and appears very durable. It's more 'substantial' and is much bigger, and even the graphics are clearer to look at. The Instruction Booklet is in perfect English (which makes a change with these things) and very comprehensive and done in much and easy to understand detail. The pet is much more animated than your average pet, and therefore far more convincing. It takes two 'proper' batteries, rather than the irritatingly small button cells that are always so hard to fit and obtain. It's also a clock and calendar and so is also useful. I'm sure that this is going to be much fun, and I am looking forward to becoming attached to my new little friend! (Ahhh...)
Note To Parents: This may be more suitable for most children, since from what I have gathered thus far, this pet does not 'die' of neglect, but after approximately three minutes or so, will go into 'sleep' mode instead, and so there will not be the same tears and heartbreak I suspect have been encountered with other virtual pets.
Well worth the money!

This is a brillant toy, you grow quite attached to your furry friend. I have the dog one, his name is Toby. In fact, he is right beside me on the desk, barking and looking for attention.
The screen is not touch sensitive, there is a lil touch sentitive pad under the screen which you use to communicate with your lil pup.
It comes with a lanyard so that you can take him everywhere and not worry about him falling out of pockets, because he's safe and sound around your neck!
he is not as annoying as a tamogotchi, which half the time you just want to throw out the window after one day.
Your anipalz will go to sleep after about 3 minutes inactivity, and you must press a button on the back (one that says 'wake up') and your lil dog will be back in action.
I recommend this toy to anyone, adult, child, even older people, it could be a very good companion toward older people that are unable to care for a real dog or cat.
I mean it when I say this toy is very fulfilling and fun, buy it for yourself or for someone you think needs a friend to talk to!
