Ah, Dog's Life. One of the least celebrated masterpieces on the PS2. the music, the physics, the levels - all perfect stuff here but I think the cover art killed its chances of getting recognized at the time.

Thankfully we know now not to judge a PS2 game by its cover. Have you played the worlds greatest sniff'n'shitter?

I remember reading on / v / the story of a dude whose mother wanted to offer the game on condition that he testified against his father in a divorce proceeding. Anon, if you are here, bless you.

All I remember about this game was how the main villain's cat food factory looked weirdly grungy and bloody for what amounts to a kids game. Then the cherry on top being the villain falling into her cat food making machine and actually getting ground up into cat food.

What else is there to say? You're a dog and you live a life. Take shits, piss, outpiss other dogs, outdig other dogs, sniff butts, scare birds. So much of the game is down to the feel, where Jake swings his ass around and the IK dynamically animates him, you slip and slide on ice. The game is also surprisingly atmospheric, and it's a unique atmosphere. The music is clearly inspired by old Lynrd Skynrd hits and create a consistently lazy ambiance to almost every stage, it works. It's the kind of game you'd play on a chilly spring weekend morning until the warm spring sun creeps into your window to give you cozy ray. The frantic music for some missions give you a good beat to go off and manages to both be fitting and completely unfitting.

I've always loved this game, it's amazing
I wish there were more games where you could play as a somewhat normal dog/cat (as in no anthropomorphic shit)

There was a DC game that was based on that Stephen King novel Cujo. It allowed you to play as the dog for a pretty good section of the game as an unlockable.
