  If you're a casual pet lover or know someone who is, you'd be doing them a favor by handing them something that's a lot meatier than what's currently out there on the market. It's not perfect by any means, but with some tweaks in future installments or downloadable content, PlayStation Vita Pets could certainly be barking up the right tree.

  It may present some unwanted hurdles yet, as a whole, PlayStation Vita Pets is an enjoyable, long-lasting experience. Naturally, die-hard gamers will probably let this one slip through the net though younger, more casual players should feel right at home.

  PlayStation Vita Pets struggles to teach an old dog new tricks. It takes a few steps forward and the same steps back, so a couple of more laps around the obstacle course might be needed before this pooch can storm out of the gate running like a champion.

  7.0

  PlayStation Vita Pets is not exactly a prize-winning pooch, but it’s definitely the pick of the litter in a genre that’s renowned for its mediocrity. With voice acting more annoying than a yapping hound, you may be tempted to turn away Spiral House’s portable pup simulator. However, dig beyond its surface irritations, and you’ll find a package with a heart of gold – even if it does grow old fairly fast.

  PlayStation Vita Pets manages to combine a charming pet simulator with a fun adventure game and creates something unique. This game is both fun and accessible to people of all ages and finally provides a reason for kids to want to pick up a Vita.

  5.0

  It steals away the game's charm, and breeds an uncomfortable identity crisis too. It all smacks of a complete misunderstanding of what makes a pet sim appealing. And unfortunately, despite some nice ideas, these are issues that the game never manages to get over.
