Controversial subject matter aside, KG DOGFIGHTING simply isn't a very good game. After players have chosen a persona (such as rapper, gangster, football star, or politician) and a dog, the majority of the game is spent training the dog to max out its stats -- a tedious process that involves playing the same three mini-games ad nauseam, including swiping the screen to make a dog drag a tire and jerking the phone while the dog is holding onto a rope to improve its jaw strength. Fights occur in real time when one player challenges another online, but consist of nothing more than pressing "Attack" until one of the dog's health bars reaches zero. (Players can also use boosts or run away, but there's no advanced strategy whatsoever). On top of that, graphics and audio are below par, there are inadequate instructions, and the game is buggy and crashed frequently during our evaluation.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
