Zhu Zhu Pets are a line of award-winning popular electronic pet hamster toys. These furry critters intelligently roll around their own tracks and habitats. And now they\u2019re ready to scoot and scurry around on your Nintendo DS in a virtual pet game that captures the zippy spirit of the toy line.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are two parts to the game: Nurturing Mode and Adventure Mode. In Nurturing Mode, use the stylus to drag your hamsters to their food dish, water bowl, potty, and bedroom when they are hungry, thirsty, and sleepy. Or you can drag carrot treats to your pets for a snack or a heart for a cuddle. It\u2019s your job to keep your hamsters healthy and happy.<\/p>\n
When your hamsters are ready for some action, take them out to Adventure Mode. In this mode, you control the hamster\u2019s direction directly with the stylus, as you help them navigate around race track-like mazes. Collect coins, carrots, and other goodies to increase your score. Hidden in some mazes are lost baby hamsters. Find them and they\u2019ll be taken to a special nursery in your hamster habitat. Reach the finish line quickly to earn trophies that unlock more Zhu Zhu Pet hamsters for you to play with as well as upgrades to your habitat and more tracks to zoom on. There are more than two dozen tracks in all.<\/p>\n

The initial release of Zhu Zhu Pets for DS comes with a special extra: a limited edition baby Zhu Zhu Pet toy. It even has a cute little diaper and everything! Only problem is that the box that the game and toy come with doesn\u2019t have a hard case for the DS game card, like other DS games do. So it\u2019ll be a little tougher for your little ones to keep up with the cartridge if they\u2019re used to putting them away in the hard cases. Also, it would\u2019ve been nice if the game had some kind of two player link up support for some competitive hamster racing.<\/p>\n
While Zhu Zhu Pets may bore older kids and hardcore gamers, it\u2019s perfect for very young Zhu Zhu Pets fans. Controls are easy, challenge is light, and all the instructions are in spoken voice. Also, the hamsters will tell you what they need with pictures cues as well, so reading skill isn\u2019t needed. Zhu Zhu Pets is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
