Great: Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Les jeux de simulation animalière séduisent les enfants. Avides de disposer d'une petite bestioles, les plus jeunes raffolent de ces titres où l'implication et la responsabilité sont éphémères. On papouille les boules de poils sans les inconvénients.

Animations des bébés fauves; La gaieté générale du jeu; Des mini-jeux dynamiques; Une vraie immersion

La voix du lémurien; Quelques défauts dans la reconnaissance de mouvements
