It's almost impossible to write about dogs and videogames without mentioning a certain hit Nintendo-published DS game in which you interact with a variety of puppies. But, I'm going to make the bold attempt and not pair the words "Nintendo" and the second half of the plural "Dogs" for the remainder of this writeup on Yuke's The Dog Island.

My task isn't too hard, actually, as The Dog Island is nothing like the Nintendo game that features all the dogs. First off, The Dog Island is on the Wii rather than the DS. Also, whereas the Nintendo dog game is more of a virtual pet sim rather than an actual game, The Dog Island is an RPG. You won't be using the Wiimote to pet your puppies here.

Our story begins in a small town somewhere. It's the day of the great festival, and you've just won the official treasure hunt. You decide to give your prize to your little brother, who snuck out of home against your mother's wishes. Then tragedy strikes, as your brother collapses! It turns out that he has an illness, and the only way to cure him is to head to Dog Island and fetch some medicine from the doctor. This involves a journey across the dangerous seas in a pirate's boat, but you decide to take up the challenge.
