What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Zoobles! is a simulation game based on the Zoobles toy line. The game features 60 different Zoobles to interact with, six worlds to visit on Zooble Island including Petagonia, Chillville, and Jungleopolis, and dozens of special items to unlock. The game can come packaged with an exclusive Zoobles toy. Nintendo does not recommend viewing of 3D images for children under 7, but Zoobles! is still very enjoyable with the features turned off.
What's it about?
ZOOBLES! is a pet simulation game that is similar to Nintendogs. Kids interact with their Zooble in the "Happitat" by using the stylus to pet it, play with it, give it a bath, tend a vegetable garden, and other activities that become available throughout the game. Kids collect coins called "Zoints" and acorns to unlock new Zooble friends to interact with, and new items and furniture to decorate the Happitat. Eventually, players will unlock new worlds to visit for a total of six.
Is it any good?
Kid-friendly Zoobles! is a colorful game with a friendly narrator who keeps kids on track with suggestions and tips. Kids will enjoy unlocking new items for the Happitat, because these accessories aren't just decorative but also introduce new activities for the Zoobles to play. The trampoline and slide, for example, unlock screen-tapping mini-games to play, while the wardrobe allows kids to dress their Zooble up in different outfits.
