Summary: Very Fun!
Comment: This gigapet game is very fun. my neighbor owns it, and every weekend i find myself calling and asking for her to loan it to me. it has a few educational values, but not many, except for learning to care for the handheld pet (included) you can have it for a year and not go everywhere, the world is that big! And the price ($10.95) is half as much as target ($20.00)!

Summary: Fun----for a month
Comment: Hello,
I bought this toy thinking it would be the greatest thing ever. When I got it I was so thrilled and excited, and was like that for about a month. But after a while, it gets very repititive and boring being able to only play one type of game. Currently I am going to buy a Nintendo DS lite instead. I would recommend Animal Crossing. It's like this, but way better (for DS).
I am not saying I hate this game, just after a while you don't even want to touch it. BLUCK. I think it would be more fun for real little kids.

Summary: Great Game
Comment: At first, when I saw this dock in my Christmas stocking to go along with my Giga Pets hand-held, I put a fake, cheesy grin on my face and humored my parents by pretending to like it. Honestly, I wouldn't have been caught dead playing a game with the word, "explorer" in the title.

A few months later, though, when I was cleaning out my room and giving various things collecting dust to Good Will, I came across this game, and decided to give it a try before totally giving up on it. I gathered up the four AA batteries required, took the cover off of the bottom with a screwdriver and plugged the yellow and white docks into the matching colored outlets on my TV.

I then proceeded to pick out my pet, and noticing that there wasn't a dog in the variation of colors that I desired, I turned the game off and reset the game, pleased greatly that when I tried again, my dream dog was there. I had initially plugged my Puffball Gigapets Handheld into the dock and didn't realize that it would not give me the option to "ZAP" it into the game unless I plugged it back into the dock when I was already playing.

I did so, and was surprised to find that my once-strictly-2D Puffball was now a noise-making, color-changing ball of fur that followed my pet around wherever I went. I also was enabled to visit an Island that without my Minipet, wouldn't have otherwise gotten to do so.

In conclusion, this toy may look like a Fisher Price twinky toy from the outside, but if you wait to play it, you'll notice that it is fun for all ages. There are numerous goals and new openings to go through depending on how many quests you complete (so that there won't be another Animal Crossing disaster), and once you have explored all of the land there is to explore, just hold out and there will be aliens that can change your color.

Now at thirteen years of age, I am still playing this game on a small, old TV with USB docks that doesn't get channels or cannot play movies otherwise, and play a little old-school by using this T.V. (that has surprisingly-great picture and sound!) to play my game almost every day.

Summary: Truly AWESOME
Comment: I just bought the Giga Pet Explorer today! I am 12 (almost 13). It hooks up very easily, and I would SO recommend it to any kid who likes interactive virtual pets.
The "quests" are very fun, they are simple, yet entertaining. I really like it. Also, it's fun collecting "halos" and "pitchforks" to create you personality. I like to decorate my house, too.
The controllers work great and are easy to work. The menu is simple to move around, YOU SHOULD SO BUY THIS! I would never get rid of this game!

Summary: Kid really liked it
Comment: I brought this for my child during Christmas 06. She really liked it and spend a lot of time playing with it. She is 13. We didn't have any problems with it. From what I can see you can buy the dog items, have his own house, a pet friend over etc... I think your kids would like it.
