Talking Ginger 2 is a cute virtual pet game which has been entertaining millions of families in the world. This game certainly lives up to its appellation of “Most Addictive Game.” Developed by the same team that created the popular “Talking Tom and Friends” series, this game provides an even more engaging, colorful experience with the new and adorable cat, Ginger.

The game is delightfully uncomplicated, silly fun. You're simply interacting with it: talk to Ginger and he will repeat what you say in his squeaky, little heard voice. You can prod him, poke him or make him dance, and he will reward you with a giggle, a jump-shock or a little stunt that will make you chuckle. But Talking Ginger 2 goes much further than before by adding a delightful life-sim aspect into the mix. The game takes place in and around Ginger's quaint 2-story house, the focal point of the game. Players are not communicating with a static character, they are aiding Ginger in his everyday activities.

It's this little routine that really makes the game shine. You play as the little orange kitten who has to do everyday tasks. This involves taking him to the bathroom to soak in the bubbles, wrangling him into teeth brushing with comic resistance, putting him to bed when he gets tired and drying him with a towel after bath time. Every activity is really a very basic mini-game that is specifically designed to be easy for small children to play. The feelings of care and responsibility that inspire is an awesome little subliminal bit of education folded in with entertainment.

More than the care routine, there is a lot of game to this game. Players can accessorize Ginger with different wholesome but silly outfits, such as a superhero costume or pirate getup, for customizable, lighthearted fun. There are interactive objects all over the house — a television, a fridge, a guitar and more — that trigger funny animations and responses when you bother them or complete a task. There’s also a light upgrade system where you earn coins for completing missions. These coins can be used to purchase delicious treats from the kitchen with them as well, such as cake or ice cream, but also amusing items, such as rockets and balloons, for more fun.

The visuals are first class, the 3D graphics are colorful and smooth to further enhance its appealing appearance. Ginger himself is just so well-animated in this shot, full of life, from his wide-eyed interest to his wicked little grin. The sound overflows with his signature voice and bouncy sound effects that give this fun, friendly world the right finishing touch.

At its very roots, Talking Ginger 2 is an interactive toy that can be playful, nurturing, and downright silly. It’s a delightful distillation of the joy of owning a stupid pet, a mix of the humor of them with with the entertainability, and light nurturing, all in one’s precious little package. It is a monument to fancy, simple ideas that encourage creation and incite grins of all ages.
