THQ has a brace of child-friendly games under its belt and continues to belt out licensed product after licensed product. Their Barbie range on DS and Wii goes head to head with similar efforts from Activison and Disney InteractiveIn Groom and Glam Pups, a stripped down Nintendogs wannabe, You take care of a selection of glamorous doggies, dress them up, train them to do tricks and generally do all the things superstar doll models are expected to do with their canine charges.
Note to self: Dont let haydn read my posts for gam reviews again ;) .... anyway ... The game is as simple as can be. Players select a dog from a selection of Shi Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Poodles and others. They can then name their dog (unsurprisingly, Charlotte wanted to call all her dogs Ollie for some reason), and then take on various tasks to glam their pup up to the nines.Given the DS’ range of control methods it also seemed a little disappointing that more wasn’t put into the game to allow players to exercise their creative streaks. Colouring the dog’s hair with the stylus perhaps? Maybe even drawing patterned clothing to clad your dog in? A bit of voice command stuff like the original Nintendogs had? .. I dont know im just guessing because I dont want to go into too much detail as i know it is not everyones forte of games, except for Haydn Jones -.- who will be receiving a copy of the game at christmas due to the review request.
Information gathered from watching a short video online and a synopsis from"allaboutthegames"
All in all, it’s a shade under £13 from most etailers so you do get what you pay for in this pocket money game.
