Closing Comments
All in all, it’s tough to put a paw on anything that would really make Puppy Luv worth your while. It is currently one of the only ways to have a virtual pet experience on the Wii, but even with that relative lack of competition it’s still a tough sell because of its lack of features, its lifeless, repetitive presentation and its frustrating implementation of Wiimote motion control. Your best bet, if you’re a virtual pet fan, is to stick with the far better fare available on the DS for now – and hope that Nintendo decides to expand their excellent portable Nintendogs franchise to its home console sometime in the future.

IGN Ratings for Puppy Luv: Your New Best Friend (Wii)

Rating	Description
out of 10
4.0	Presentation A bare-bones approach, with no intro sequence or opening tutorial. You’re just quickly given a dog staring straight at you, and a handful of icons to click.
6.0	Graphics The representations of digital dogs here are fair, but lifeless. The same canned animations trigger every time you throw a Frisbee or ball.
5.5	Sound The most notable audio aspect is the voice-over narrator girl, whose soothing words of encouragement are calming … until they start to repeat again and again.
3.0	Gameplay There’s not a lot to do in Puppy Luv, and what little there is is marred by frustratingly unresponsive motion recognition.
5.0	Lasting Appeal Virtual pet games are meant to be built to last, and Puppy Luv attempts some depth with costume choices and the like. It still won’t hold any player’s interest long, though.
3.5 Bad	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
