Cert: 3+
Platform(s): DS
Genre: Simulation

I'm starting to tire of these. The franchise hasn't really evolved; the games are pretty much the same as they were 5 years ago.

The action now takes place in an urban apartment, and atop the regular duties, such as feeding, washing and resting your sim, now you must do the same for his pets. What's more, you also have a Pet Care Clinic downstairs, so you must also do the same for the pets of the locals of the Sim town.

The word of the day here is "small." The area you have to work in, the apartment and the shop are small, the tasks you must perform are small and the imagination behind this game is... small. The pet care mini games are feeble and repetitive and mirror the Sim task - you must feed, wash and entertain your pets, so there really is nothing new about this sim game.

At least the My Sim spin offs have an air of originality. This is just more of the same with a new packet on it.
