Littlest Pet Shop Friends for Wii – Review

The hype: Grab your friends, grab your pets—it’s time to party! The second edition of the LITTLEST PET SHOP video game brings the party to you with a new cast of quirky pets and their best friends. Play tons of new mini-games and explore new towns with your favorite pets. With enhanced multiplayer features, you can even double your fun by playing with your best friend! Venture on quests, deliver invitations, serve up ice cream, and style your pets as you get ready for the biggest LITTLEST PET SHOP party of the year. And be prepared for a few surprises along the way, like an all-new mystery pet that just might show up at your party! LITTLEST PET SHOP Friends is available now for Nintendo Wii (or DS).

The truth: This game really is adorable and fun for kids. My daughter is nearly six and loves the idea of playing video games, but we have worked very hard to shelter her from many of the mature graphics and themes that you might find in popular video games. The first Wii game that we purchased for our kids was a Dora game, which we enjoy and play often, so I gladly said yes when the offer came to review the Little Pet Shop Friends Wii game. She already plays with the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys, so like the Dora game, this was a great introduction into Wii games beyond the Wii Fit activities we’ve allowed our kids to try. What I love is that my children can play together or with a friend, so there’s no battle about whose turn it is to play. It’s also nice that there are mini-games so that play does not creep over the allowed screen time for the day.
