Petz: Dogz Family

Ubisoft's series of life development sims brings man's best friend to the PSP for the first time in Petz: Dogz Family, letting players raise and care for an entire family of canines. Gamers look over the various available breeds, adopt the puppy they like the most, then customize their pooch with a variety of outfits and accessories. Players can watch as their pet grows from a baby to an adult, taking time to breed and crossbreed to create litters of new puppy hybrids. Each pup's personality is influenced by the way it is reared, so gamers who nurture their canine friends -- taking them on walks, getting them new toys and accessories, and letting them interact with fellow dogs -- are bound to have the most well-behaved buddy on the block. Players can also use the PSP's wireless connectivity to swap dogs with friends or set up puppy play dates.
