Video Games With Pets, Animals and Invizimals
Littlest Pet Shop Friends: You wonder why toy catalogs are suddenly clogging your mailbox? You can not step into your local supermarket without stepping on a toy? Funny old men in red gown dressing invade the store windows? Wake up, we simply approach the Christmas period and the annual conspiracy trying to melt the contents of the pockets of parents is slowly taking place.
Electronic Arts and Hasbro have once again taken advantage of this great feast to decline the Littlest Pet Shop universe into a video game.
Those who do not encounter daily a young girl of seven years old were perhaps missed the phenomenon, but the Littlest Pet Shop Nintendo DS/Wii has already caused some damage last winter.
It was enough to stupidly shopping during the Christmas period to attend apocalyptic scenes: imagine mothers well in all respects be forced to tear each others hair madly to get their hands on the last giraffe stamped Littlest Pet Shop in the store...
What is the secret of such popularity? It seems simply result from critical alchemy between small animals with oversized eyes and an effective marketing campaign.
The recipe has proven itself and the adaptations of the license in video games have apparently sold well last year because Electronic Arts is now enjoying a sequel.
One example is worth a thousand words: one activity is simply to predict your future.
The principle is simple, we ask you to ask a question aloud and then shake the Wii remote to mimic rubbing a crystal ball and finally a message appears in answering in the affirmative, the negative or by casting some doubts...
Rarely has a game that takes at that point the young audience for a bunch of brainless.
These various activities are perhaps a little more interest with two players but do not expect too much to have loads of fun.
Once you've completed a mini-game, you get a little money to buy great accessories for your pets.
Again, we can not help but noticing that the tiny managing this aspect in the first game here has completely disappeared.
Finally you will understand, this Littlest Pet Shop Friends is nothing more than a trap designed to empty the pockets of parents and will soon dust once the new year.
Other cute games this holiday season girls and boys will adore:
