I gave the European version a try, the graphics are fantastic, but the game is easily one of the worst virtual pet games I've played, it's on par with FinFin, no worse, at least FinFin had some personality to him and could be somewhat fun and enjoyable to mess around with.
This, this is a joke, the pets take ages to move from one spot to another and it seems they don't have any AI to them whatsoever, it's terrible.
They should've just used this graphics engine and these character designs for some nice fairytale like adventure game with a nice story or something.
