Animal Pairs
SCORE: 70
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for Animal Pairs on the Nintendo Switch. Animal Pairs is a
video game designed for kids and toddlers. What is Animal Pairs all
about? What do we do in Animal Pairs? I will attempt to answer those
questions in this review. Animal Pairs is a card matching game. The best
way to think of Animal Pairs is it is a memory game. Tap two cards and
see if they match. When two cards match they go away. That player is
given those cards as their trophy for finding a match.
Animal Pairs allows for up to four family members to play at the same
time. There can be a certain amount of luck involved in Animal Pairs
when playing with more than one person. Why do I say that? When we do
not know what is hidden under the cards it can be random chance in
finding a specific pair. Also the first player in Animal Pairs can be at
a disadvantage. The other players get to see what they checked and then
if they find the other animal in that pair they know exactly what to go
for. That is the core of memory as well. Families could play blind and
pass the Nintendo Switch around. That way no player knows what the other
players saw.
Animal Pairs has some neat special effect sounds while I played it. I
wish Animal Pairs had some kind of background music going. That would
have been nice. The touch controls work really well. At first when I was
playing Animal Pairs I kept hitting buttons trying to get the game to
start. It would be neat if that control scheme had been added as well
for those that prefer that control method. I could see some kids being
confused by the touch only control scheme at first.
Animal Pairs goes as low as four cards in a two by two grid all the way
up to sixty-four cards in an eight by eight grid. The more cards the
harder it is to find all of the pairs. For me when I was playing Animal
Pairs it just took a bit longer. I could not always recall where every
single animal was. Eventually I found matches and got all of them paired
up. Animal Pairs is a downloadable only video game on the Nintendo
Switch. As of the point this review is being written Animal Pairs is
selling for $7.99. If your kids are into animal memory games and like to
play matching on the Nintendo Switch then Animal Pairs could be
something for them. I personally think the price point should be a bit
lower for the amount of content included.
