Petz 5

Overview

Petz 5 is the fifth and final installment of the Petz franchise, released in 2002. It was the first game released after Ubisoft purchased The Learning Company (and by extension PF Magic) in 2001. It was developed by Studio Mythos and both published and distributed by Ubisoft. Petz (Dogz and Catz) is a series of single-player video games dating back to 1995, in which the player can adopt, raise, care for and breed their own virtual pets. The original Petz has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and the brand has grown to over 22 million copies since coming under Ubisoft The player starts at the Adoption Center, where they may choose a Dogz or Catz to adopt of a Breedz and gender of their choice. Once the player has found a Petz, they can adopt and name their new Puppyz or Kittenz. After around three days (real time) the Petz become adults. Adult Petz can then breed and have Kittenz or Puppyz of their own. Cross-breeding can create different types of petz, called 'Mixed Breeds'. There are a number of Toyz, food and water bowls, and Treatz available. Petz can learn tricks with positive rewards such as petting and Treatz, or trained not to do something using the punishment (water) spray bottle. Petz must be looked after properly; abused or neglected Petz may run away.
