The Tamagotchi craze was once in power. For some time now, it's not that cool anymore to take your virtual pet everywhere for caring and nurturing. Gameloft thinks differently, as it has just introduced the Catz game for mobile phones.

The game has been launched in the Girls game category, although it would turn out as little surprise to find out that even the more 'masculine' individuals will also fall for the cute Catz.

To be clearer, this is more than a Tamagotchi game. First, the graphics turn out to be much superior and full of mild but powerful colors. This makes the cats look livelier and more personalized. Even more, the game player has the possibility of choosing from two cat breeds of four different colors. This will result in bringing the virtual pet even closer to the player, as he can choose that which he considers to be most adorable.

The game features several situations in a variety of places, such as the dining room, kitchen, bedroom, garden and even on a kitty stadium. That's right, a kitty stadium where your pet cat will be able to compete in sporting events. Moreover, you will also be capable of playing ball or laser pointer. Still, probably the cutest game of all is the one with the ball of wool, which means that the kitty will run and jump around trying to catch the thread of a ball of wool. That's great exercise for the virtual cat and also loads of fun for cat lovers.

But that's not all. The player must regularly give food and drink to the pet as to make it love him as much as possible. Furthermore, a wide range of accessories are available for purchase from a store in order to help the cat develop in the best possible way.

Catz proves to be a nice game for those that need the opportunity to reveal the softer side of them, which longs for an occasion to offer nurturing and interactivity. Or you could just buy a real cat.
