3d gets in, all the fun gets out...

At first, while I was downloading the trial version of this game, I was thinking that this one could be a breakthrough indeed: Judging by the screenshots, the graphics were 3d, and this was great news...

On the other hand, the idea of a time management game in a salon, was old. After Sally's Salon, it would be kind of the same thing, only with pets.

Finally, after having played the game for 30 minutes and quit even before the trial version was over (that's also new!), I have to say that I haven't enjoyed the game. And I'll tell you why.

Positive points:

- 3d graphics! For Sims fans, you will definately like what you'll see. (Although I suppose that, one of the numerous expansions of this game, will already have involved pets! :P)
- Limitless customizing! You can do whatever you want with your shop! Paint the walls (there are MANY colors available), change the floor (with a lot of different tiles), buy furniture, upgrade your equipment... Just let your imagination do the rest.
- Not great difficulty completing assigned tasks (and not great challenge for the trained players either!)

Negative points:

- This game is SLOOOOOW... While you wait for the main character to actually move her hand, you can prepare your dinner, wash your hair, or watch your favorite TV show! And it takes time to have the pets washed or do their haircut also. It was supposed to get better after upgrading your equipment, but either I am too impatient, or the improvement was too little.
- I have completed a week so far, and the pets seem to be all the same: I mean, there are no strange pet owners, impatient or demanding ones. They are all the same, and it gets boring.
- Although the graphics were supposed to be the clue, nothing changes in the pet's appearance, after your treatment.
- You don't seem to have any goal. Ok, you are supposed to take over the great Pet Corp, but every level is the same, only with more clients.

So, how about getting an actual pet instead?

Almost There

This game is really interesting when you first play it, because the graphic is consider one of the best! But when you play through the game! I guess there are a few flaws to it!
Firstly - Clicking of the actions
Sometimes it does not take in whatever that was clicked and therefore i end up clicking it a few times and the action was hence repeated,losing the bonus
Secondly - The concept is the same, you kept doing the same thing over and over again until u earn enough to take over the big posh building!
Thirdly - There no changes and the pets are the same when they came in and throughout the whole game! There is nothing to look forward to after the next few shops that you kinda buy!
It gets boring and I lose all my patience to take over the big building!
These are a few flaws that i stumble upon overall it is still entertaining once in a while!

re-play

The re-play factor for this game is lacking. Fun to on-line game with this type of time management, but purchase of this might not be worthwhile.
