We got to play with the cats, dogs, lizards, and ponies in THQ's upcoming pet sim.
Given the commercial and critical success of Kinectimals, it's no surprise to see other pet games arriving for the Kinect. The first is Fantastic Pets, from British development studio Blitz Games and publisher THQ. Unlike Kinectimals, which saw you adopting wild cats, Fantastic Pets offers you a variety of more domesticated animals--cats, dogs, lizards, and ponies, although as the name suggests, they all have fantastical variations. We were lucky enough to go hands-on with the game before it's due to arrive in April.

This is a whole different world for me. I have very little experience with the whole… digital pets and pretending to look after them, so jumping into this type of game was certainly an experience and something which I won’t forget.
Fantastic Pets DLC has been released on 3rd May and it’s now available for you to pick it up from Xbox Live Marketplace. The DLC is called “Fantastic Pets Wings DLC Packs” and can be downloaded for 240 Microsoft Points. The size of the DLC is 78.90 Mb.
GB: "An enjoyable and imaginative enough pet sim that could've done with aiming for a broader audience, Fantastic Pets aims so hard for the family demographic that it often feels patronising and lacking in structure"
If they add T-Rex, Lions, gorillas and the like, it could be considered hard core....
just played it, better then uncharted AND halo COMBINED!
Simply "Fantastic"
