Summary: meow meow meow (A Very Cool Game!)
Review: I first started getting these virtual pet games when I played dogz 2 at my friend's house.I loved it!I love cats so I got catz 2 and dogz 2.Then I got catz 3,then catz 4.It is way better than the other ones.There is so many cool lands,for example,the South Seas Island and the Gypsy Circus.There's a whole selection of clothes,hats,and accessories to dress your cat in.The toys are awesome!It comes with 10 breeds,the alley cat,the Russian blue,the persian,the calico,the B&W shorthair,the orange shorthair,the maine coon,the tabby,the chinco persian,and the siamese.Also you can breed your pets!It comes with a microphone so you can talk to your petz and you can create your own playscenes.I really recommend this game!

Summary: Yuck
Review: Mindscape (they made this, Ubi Soft made Petz 5) made some real mistakes.

Bugs, bugs, bugs. This game is full of them. The food dish bounces around and your catz never get a chance to eat. Toys permanently disappear from the playscenes. For example, the cannon ball disappears from the Circus Playscene. The game may crash every so often and you lose everything you did.

Where did BUNNIES come from? Hello? This is Catz 4; bunnies aren't cats. It probably wouldn't be so bad if you could breed them, but you can't. Big bummer. As for talking to your catz, I couldn't get them to understand me properly, so I just forgot about it.

The game is almost like a bug-filled dull Catz 3. Why bother expanding, then? They are almost the same, except for new clothes that barely even have complete outfits, new scenes that lose their unique toys in a day, and bunnies that can't even breed. The only reason I gave it three stars and not one or two is because it does at least have new features.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wow!
Review: This game is great it has so many things that you can do like playing with the catz,feeding traveling to places like the dessert or to the circus where you can meet other catz.You can also breed your catz and then in about 3 days you'll have a newborn. You also now own a house that you can decorate for your style with pictures of your catz,and so much more.Though there is a new catz5 game out which is even better, I also highly suggest getting this game too.If you buy both games they will come up as one and you can bring all of your catz from catz4 onto catz5.

Summary: Read my review and decide whether this game is for you
Review: I am in the 8th grade and I absolutely LOVE this game! I first played it last year and was immediately hooked! The petz in this game are wonderful, perfect for people who have allergies but just as great for people like me who have real cats or other pets. This game is also great for small children who parents feel aren't ready to have a pet yet, but your petz can run away if neglected or abused so I think this game is suitable for ages 7 and up (mature 7 year olds). I know adults who love this game, so it's great for all ages as an alternative or additional pet or pets. Another good quality to this game is that you can download breeds of petz, clothes, playscenes, toys, programs, and sounds from thousands of different sites (make sure any site you download anything from is a secure one) into the Catz 4 program.

Below are the main good points of this game, and below those are the bad ones.

MAIN GOOD POINTS:
*New Voice Acting Feature allows you to teach your petz voice commands with the right equipment.
*The Playscene Editor allows you to create your own playscenes that your petz can romp around in. You can also edit any playscenes you create or download from the internet at anytime.
*You can adopt as many petz as you like, but beware that your petz will run away if neglected or abused.
*You can breed your petz and create long lines of generations.
*If you buy Dogz 4 and already have Cats 4 your dogz and catz can play together.
*The game comes with 10 breeds to choose from, including bunnies,and lots of toys and clothes, as well as several travel scenes and home scenes which your petz can play in. But as I said before, to get more breeds, toys, clothes, playscenes and more you have to download them from sites on the internet.
*You can take pictures of your petz.
*Your petz make life-like sounds and can do lots of fun tricks. *The sound effects in playscenes are life-like as well (like the sounds of the ocean in the Beach scene).
*Your petz can operate things for themselves, like the music box or a roll-up rug from the Toys Closet.
*Petz are usually very good mothers to their young, and may improve in their maternal skills as they have more kittens.
*Petz grow in size as they get older. The life stages are Newborn, Infant, Kitten, and Adult. If a female cat has a kitten, the new kitten will start out very small as a newborn and will stay with it's mother until it is in the Kitten stage. If a pet is adopted, it comes from the adoption center in the Kitten stage.
*You can spay and neuter your petz if you wish to do so.
*Do you really need any more reasons to buy this game?

MAIN BAD POINTS:
*The bunnies that come with the Petz 4 program should be breedable (they're already neutered or spayed when you adopt them).
*The Dogz 4 program should come with the Catz 4 program so you don't have to buy them seperately.
*Petz should be able to have more than one kitten (or puppy, if you have Dogs 4) at a time (litters).
*Other than those, I can't really think of any other main (big) problems in Catz 4.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Cool
Review: This game is pretty cool. I got it and the voice recognition didnt work. But it is still fun. When your cat is preagnet it takes about 3-4 days for it to have a kitten. You can also get realy cute bunniez!I would have given this game a 5 star if the voice recognition worked and the bunniez could be parents.[If your not very patient this game is not realy for you]

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is the Best Game Ever!
Review: If you love cats, but hate the poop, smell, and all the other annoying things that comes with owning a cat, this is the game for you! It's addictive and incredibly fuuuuun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is an awesome game!
Review: This is the best computer game I've ever seen! When you first start off, you get a choice of 10 original breedz -- the goofy, lazy Persian, the expert mouser B+W Shorthair, the affectionate Tabby, the playful Calico, the elegant Siamese, the sophisticated Russian Blue, the big, cuddly Maine Coon, the timid Orange Shorthair, the pretty Chinchilla Persian, and even bouncy Bunniez! On the internet, you can download even more breedz--such as Dracos, Dalmatian catz, Himalayans, and hundreds more! You can even breed the petz to make adorable kittenz too! I give this game 5 starz!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Adorable!
Review: This game is just adorable! I love the way each breed has their own little quirks. The Siamese for example, think that they are so elegant. And the Persians are really fat and goofy. The best part is that you can breed your cats and then you are able to watch your little newborn kitties develop their own unique personalities. There is also more than 100 toys and clothes. The playscene editor is cool. I made several scenes with it. I suggest internet access if you do not know how to hex. I downloaded a lot of neat stuff; breeds, toys, playscenes, and a lot more. I really reccomend this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smart Buy.
Review: Mom & Dad, buy two or three copies of this one to give to friends. I've never seen anything occupy a kids mind and imagination like these little catz! The fun is almost endless. After one sitting you will wish you'd bought the extra copies. Good,clean,fun,fun,fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All too cute.....
Review: This game is *way* too cute...I love it. I also own Dogz 4, and when you have both of the programs together, they run together, so you can bring your dogz and catz together! Basically, what you do it adopt your catz...and then you can do nearly anything. Play with them in the play pen, breed them (and keep the kittenz or put them up for adoption!), dress them up in the clothes closet, or take them to one of the fun scenes, which include a circus, beach, living room, kitchen...and everything in between. You can even make your own scenes! There's a *huge* community of petz lovers on the internet, and it's lots of fun. Overall...this game and Dogz are *amazing*!
