Cute, Plush Stuffed Animals
With large heads, giant curious eyes peering at you, bright
colors, and a super-soft plush body, the cute Littlest Pet Shop
VIPs will quickly be vying as your child's favorite playmate. The
VIPs measure about 7 x 10 x 4 (WxHxD) inches and are weighted at
the bottom so they can stand on their own. An Online Virtual
World With Your Own House
The fun doesn't end with this plush animal, however. Each pet
includes a code on its tag that lets you play online at
LittlestPetShop. com for a year. To play with the online
component, you will need an Internet connection and sign up for a
new account at www. littlestpetshop. com. There is no software to
download as the game is completely Web-based and only uses a Web
browser.
Parents may need to help their children get started by
registering a new account. Once the account has been made and the
secret code is entered, a virtual version of your adopted pet
will be visible on screen. You can name this virtual pet anything
you want, and the pet even has its own house and garden.
Moving your character around the virtual world is accomplished
by simply clicking where you want your pet to go. There are
various games within the world, symbolized by icons such as a
soccer ball or water balloons, and that are accessible simply by
clicking on them.
One game that is accessible early in the world is Water Balloon
Poppin, a puzzle game that is both fun and promotes problem
solving. When you finish, you see your score compared to high
scores from other players around the world. If you have a high
score, it is saved. Depending on your score, you earn kibble
coins (virtual dollars) that can be used in the various shops to
purchase items such as clothing, home decorations, and s.
With these new purchases, you can feed your pet, dress your pet
up with different clothing (your pet then walks around with the
new accessories), decorate your pet's home, tend your garden, and
perform many other fun tasks.
The of the virtual world is impressive. There are many
places to explore, including the playground, the vet, the forest,
the dock, and the village. At each of these areas, there are
different things to do and different games to play. In total,
there are 25 games, including Water Balloon Poppin, Pet doctor,
All Paws Soccer, Horse Shoe Toss, and Miniest Golf. The world
includes lots of activities to keep them happily occupied.
Keep Up with the News
A newspaper keeps players up-to-date on the goings-on of the
virtual world. New games will be announced here, and high scores
are also displayed. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the
virtual world is quite complete. Some features such as the "Home
of the Day" section in the newspaper are still under
construction.
Safe, Friendly Playing Environment
Parents will be happy to know that the virtual environment is
designed to both fun and safe. Names are never fully displayed,
and language is filtered to eliminate "bad words. "
A cute, plush animal has an added online component that makes it
fun for a long time. With a virtual environment that is being
added to with new games and items, the Littlest Pet Shop VIPs
holds children's attention longer than traditional plush animals.
