 Wayyyy better than Kinectimals for a 4 year oldNov 06, 2011
By Hailey's mommy
When we first got the Kinect, we purchased the Kinectimals game. Although it was cute and my 4 year old daughter liked it, the game required reading so I always had to sit beside her while she played. This is fine, but I have 11 month old twins, so my 4 year old ended up not getting a lot of Kinect playtime.
Also the kinect didn't respond that great with Kinectimals. My daughter was often frustrated.
A few days ago we bought Fantastic Pets. It requires almost no reading (only a few parts do, but my daughter now remembers which items to select in those areas so she doesn't need me at all) and seems to be a whole lot less frustrating to her.
Go with Fantastic Pets...much better!

My kids love it!Apr 18, 2011
By Thomas Matthews
Pros: My kids (6 & 4) love this game. The ability to customize their pets is great. They can unlock new features for their pets the more they play it. They can pick multiple pets too. After the initial tutorial, they can jump right in and play from where they left off.
Cons: Long initial tutorial and pet set-up. Both kids can't play at the same time with both of their pets. Two people can play at the same time, but only with one pet.

Great for kidsJul 08, 2011
By Recreational gamer guy
We've had this game for a while now. Wanted to wait and see if my 6yo really liked this game. Got to say this is a great game even if you put down. We've got Kinictamals and Fantastic Pets. He wanted to pick Kinictamals back up but forgot most of the commands after not playing 3-4 weeks. As we all do when we try to replay a game after a break. We put fantastic pets back in 2-3 weeks of not playing and very intuitive. He was having fun in no time.
Will say that after we added better lighting to our room some boards(obsticle courses) seemed to register our moves better. As it did with all our kinict games. It's geared towards kids cause you can only unlock(buy on the map) so much a day then is closed for the day. Competitons are once a day then locked. Uggg! Not a big free play player but son is.
He's got one of each pet and loves giving them different looks, wings, eyes... etc. Creative side and different animals really adds to the replayability for kids.
Because of the boards/screens intuitive nature it keeps my son wanting to play more and not get frustrated to replay later after he's taken a break. Where Kinictamals he's done with since it's a relearn game everytime you play and already unlocked the island and last kitty. He can replay but has no desire.

Highly Interactive Game That is Fun for the Whole FamilyApr 18, 2011
By Dad of Divas
We have tried out a few of the games for the Kinect in the past but this one was definitely one that I was glad to get the chance to try out. What I loved about the game was the fact that you got the opportunity to have some very unique pets and take care of them, teach them and have fun with them as you would any pet. I mean how often can you have a dragon as a pet?
What was great about this game was the customization that was available. On top of this, the game was highly interactive and my kids love being able to use the game and have their pets move as they were moving. I know that at least in our home, this game was a HUGE hit!!!

Kids like it much better than Kinectimals!!Apr 17, 2011
By HippoSly
This is how a animal game is supposed to work. My children ages 8 and 6 love this game it puts them on the TV while they play with their pet. The customization is great for the children they love to change up there pets all the time.
