The game is really simular to games like nintendogs.you are quite limited to the things you can do, you can dress the baby and make food for it , but once you have fed, washed, changed and played a game with your adopted baby ect, then you kinda have to start it all over again.There is a teach section on the game, when you reach a certian part and have collected a number of hearts you get to teach the baby things ie colours, how to walk ect, this happens through diffrent stages of the game.so your main goal of the game is to teach your baby all 5 tasks. Its a cute game but i can imagen if you dont like games like nintendogs and other games like that , you would get quite bored, but on the hole its a good cute game and easy to play.
