Editorial Reviews:

Haven't all cat owners wished for a more cooperative pet? Now you can adopt a "Catz" and have the affectionate, responsive playmate you've always wanted--living in your computer! This remarkable virtual pet will be your companion for life, with proper care and feeding. There are 10 different breeds to choose from, all with their own personalities. Adopt as many as you like, but if you don't pay attention to one, it might run away!

This version of the popular "Petz" series has voice-recognition technology, so you can train your new friend to come when called, sit, fetch, or other goofy tricks (microphone not included). There are outfits for your pet and a variety of "play scenes." Where else can you put sunglasses on kitty and take her treasure hunting in the South Seas? With your own digital camera, you can take pictures and use them as additional play backgrounds. Additional options include breeding your Catz, shopping for Toyz, and creating printable picture books. For those who aren't cat fanciers, look for the Bunnyz hiding in the adoption center--he may be just the pet you were looking for. --Jill Lightner

Summary: It's a great game!
Comment: I loved catz(and dogz) 4! I must admit that it was a shame that the voice recognition did not work to well but it was a good idea, other than that it was fantasic! If you loved petz 4, i recomend petz 5, it's even better.
:¬D
I give the game 5 & 1/2 stars!

PS:
I think that anyone who says it is a bad game should think about all the hard work that went into making it and just consider how complecated it must have been to create such life like virtual animals. I mean, could you have done that?

thnx 4 reading my review!

Summary: Yuck
Comment: Mindscape (they made this, Ubi Soft made Petz 5) made some real mistakes.

Bugs, bugs, bugs. This game is full of them. The food dish bounces around and your catz never get a chance to eat. Toys permanently disappear from the playscenes. For example, the cannon ball disappears from the Circus Playscene. The game may crash every so often and you lose everything you did.

Where did BUNNIES come from? Hello? This is Catz 4; bunnies aren't cats. It probably wouldn't be so bad if you could breed them, but you can't. Big bummer. As for talking to your catz, I couldn't get them to understand me properly, so I just forgot about it.

The game is almost like a bug-filled dull Catz 3. Why bother expanding, then? They are almost the same, except for new clothes that barely even have complete outfits, new scenes that lose their unique toys in a day, and bunnies that can't even breed. The only reason I gave it three stars and not one or two is because it does at least have new features.

Summary: wow!
Comment: This game is great it has so many things that you can do like playing with the catz,feeding traveling to places like the dessert or to the circus where you can meet other catz.You can also breed your catz and then in about 3 days you'll have a newborn. You also now own a house that you can decorate for your style with pictures of your catz,and so much more.Though there is a new catz5 game out which is even better, I also highly suggest getting this game too.If you buy both games they will come up as one and you can bring all of your catz from catz4 onto catz5.

Summary: Read my review and decide whether this game is for you
Comment: I absolutely LOVE this game! I first played it last year and was immediately hooked! The petz in this game are wonderful, perfect for people who have allergies but just as great for people like me who have real cats or other pets. This game is also great for small children who parents feel aren't ready to have a pet yet, but your petz can run away if neglected or abused so I think this game is suitable for ages 7 and up (mature 7 year olds). I know adults who love this game, so it's great for all ages as an alternative or additional pet or pets. Another good quality to this game is that you can download breeds of petz, clothes, playscenes, toys, programs, and sounds from thousands of different sites (make sure any site you download anything from is a secure one) into the Catz 4 program.

Below are the main good points of this game, and below those are the bad ones.

MAIN GOOD POINTS:
*New Voice Acting Feature allows you to teach your petz voice commands with the right equipment.
*The Playscene Editor allows you to create your own playscenes that your petz can romp around in. You can also edit any playscenes you create or download from the internet at anytime.
*You can adopt as many petz as you like, but beware that your petz will run away if neglected or abused.
*You can breed your petz and create long lines of generations.
*If you buy Dogz 4 and already have Cats 4 your dogz and catz can play together.
*The game comes with 10 breeds to choose from, including bunnies,and lots of toys and clothes, as well as several travel scenes and home scenes which your petz can play in. But as I said before, to get more breeds, toys, clothes, playscenes and more you have to download them from sites on the internet.
*You can take pictures of your petz.
*Your petz make life-like sounds and can do lots of fun tricks. *The sound effects in playscenes are life-like as well (like the sounds of the ocean in the Beach scene).
*Your petz can operate things for themselves, like the music box or a roll-up rug from the Toys Closet.
*Petz are usually very good mothers to their young, and may improve in their maternal skills as they have more kittens.
*Petz grow in size as they get older. The life stages are Newborn, Infant, Kitten, and Adult. If a female cat has a kitten, the new kitten will start out very small as a newborn and will stay with it's mother until it is in the Kitten stage. If a pet is adopted, it comes from the adoption center in the Kitten stage.
*You can spay and neuter your petz if you wish to do so.
*Do you really need any more reasons to buy this game?

MAIN BAD POINTS:
*The bunnies that come with the Petz 4 program should be breedable (they're already neutered or spayed when you adopt them).
*The Dogz 4 program should come with the Catz 4 program so you don't have to buy them seperately.
*Petz should be able to have more than one kitten (or puppy, if you have Dogs 4) at a time (litters).
*Other than those, I can't really think of any other main (big) problems in Catz 4.
