Rating: - Horrible
This game is a really bad game I tried to play it and I couldn't do anything but waste my money on buying the animal food and walking around. Instead on wasting your money on this buy something better than this. It looks cute on the front of the package but it really isn't a fun game

Rating: - Poor Instructions - but fun once you figure it out
Like many others, my daughter (and I) was more than a little frustrated that we couldn't figure out how to do anything. I e-mailed the developer and had the following reply in less than 24 hours. WOnder why no-one else thought to do that? Anyway, this really helped!

To start "Pet Resort", select a New Game, enter a name, and continue to the house. Enter the office, approach the computer and click on the icon of a girl's head at the bottom of the screen. This will open a Management menu on the right side of the screen. Choose "Expansion", and then locate the "Already Built" column. These are your pens. Click on the word "no" to change it to "yes" for Level 1. Continue doing this for every animal, located on the top of the screen. Once all animals have had Level 1 changed to "yes", click the "buy" icon at the bottom right. You have now built pens for the animals. Now you can select "Online Shop" to begin buying food and other items for first animal you will take care of, which is the rabbit. Once purchased, exit the Management menu and walk to the far left of the house, near the bookcase. This is the food storage area. Click the girl's head icon to access the "Foodbag". Place the purchased food in the available slots. Exit and wait for the clock to show 11:00. After 11, walk to the base of the stairs and click on the girl's head icon. A small menu should appear on the right. Click on "Finish the day" and continue through. A customer will then appear at some point with her pet rabbit. This is your first pet to take care of. You will need to feed, groom, and more, depending on what is required. Look at the top of the screen to see the animal's statistics. One business day at the pet resort on the DS is equal to 20 minutes in real time, and changes made (example: pen expansions) do not appear until the next "business day".

I told them the waiting time should have been outlined someplace.

Rating: - Waste of Money
Purchased this game for my daughters birthday and am very sorry. The instructions for getting the game started are terrible and so far have been unable to find any help. We cannot figure out how to begin the game and start getting clients. You are supposed to "buy" animal pens, but this is where we are stuck. Based upon this game will not be purchasing anymore Paws & Claws games.

Rating: - Very Disappointing
I will first say I agree with the other reviewers the instructions are very vague. The graphics are very poor. Same music plays over and over again. From the cover the graphics look great so I thought it might be some what like nintendogs. So overall I would rate this game 1 1/2 stars. I paid to much for something that was such poor quality. Save your money and get nintendogs.

Rating: - Total Frustration!
My daughter pick out this game and we can not figure out how to play. The only thing she has figured out is how to ride. She still does not have any animals. I would not buy this game again. I think she will end up giving up on it and not playing it, it was 20 dollars wasted. If it was possible I would not even give it one star.
