Neopets Review Summary

Neopets is a games web service that combines free and premium pay games for general entertainment. Reviewers like Neopets for its variety of games and its general fun for everyone, regardless of age. Neopets is described positively by most reviewers, and some of the praiseworthy comments include “Great, Yet Addictive Site” and “Great Learning Tool for Growing Children”.

Ah, yes, Neopest...oh, that's right, it's Neopets, isn't it?  I was an early adopter of Neopets, having joined on April 20, 2002.  The site was launched online on November 15, 1999, by two college students, Adam Powell and Donna Williams, and was originally intended for college-age players, not...

I had a horrible experience with neopets. I was a huge fan of theirs for a long, long, long, time. Did you ever notice how many warnings that there are about don't tell anyone your password, make sure that it says neopets.com and stuff like that? This is because so many people misuse this game. The last time that I had somebody fix my computer I had over 100 viruses in it. I only went to neopets, people. Then Neopets took away my account. WHY, you ask? Well I was offline for over a year and someone figured out my password. So my cute little pets, all four of them I can not play with. I tried talking... review »

This Web-site, started eight years ago by a pair of college age students, is now owned by MTV. It is a combination of a free site with paid for premium access. Children can play unattended, it is heavily monitored, and under 13 do not have access to chat. Battledome is OK, Games are Superior and well rounded, some "shoot ' um up" some educational and most of the site can be translated into a myriad of languages.

Basic Premise - you adopt (create) a virtual pet and play games, build it a home, heal it when it is sick, buy it clothes, it's own pet (petpet) and more. It is a whole virual world... review »

This site has been around for quite some time. It was started by college students, for college students as an alternative to going out and spending money on entertainment. Especially since college students don't usually have money to spend on entertainment. Although over the years it has gone from kid friendly to kid oriented over the years (after all parents spend money, college students don't).

It is, and will remain, a free site, however over the years to keep it running they have added banners and ads throughout the site. This does tend to slow things down.

There are hundreds of games, from originals... review »

OK, yes I know a lot of you think of this as a kids site, but you would be surprised at just how many adults are actually on this site.  I find it entertaining and a good stress reliever.  My way of escaping to my own little world for a few hours.

I found this game almost 7 years ago. It is free to play and great for all ages. It has many games you can play to earn neopoints (the games version of money). You have a bank account, safety deposit box, can build a home for your pets, and even run your own shop. There is 2 schools to send your pets to, books to read to increase intelligence, and quests to gain skills. The game can be used as a great teaching skill for small children in responsibility and money management.

I love Neopets as it is a great website for your whole family! My kids joined Neopets first and later introduced me to the site to join to lessen my stress after work. Now my older grandkids are playing there as well. It is nice they can be there having fun and not be exposed to malicous media. The games are challenging and entertaining at different levels. Shops introduce money management. There are many areas in the land of Neopia that one can grow through.

I highly recommend this website to anyone who wants to let their children experience a game site and any adult who wants to stay a kid at... review »

My daughter started playing on Neopets when she was in middle school.  She showed me the site, and I started playing, too.  They are conscious that they're dealing with children.  I had to fax a parental permission slip for her to get access to the message boards.  This was 5 years ago, so I don't know if they still do that, but I thought it was incredibly responsible.  I love the games.  They entertain me and my daughter.  Some are educational, while others are just fun.  They are constantly updating the site and trying to improve it.  The best part?  Everything you really need to enjoy... review »

I love this site. Not only are there games, there is a whole made-up world and many, mannnnnnnnnnyyy things to do. You can make up to 4 "neopets" per account and you can feed them, dress them up and more. There are many kinds of games, and even a Stock Market! And through the Stock Market, kids can learn how the real one works too. Some of the games are educational without even seeming so!

Neopets.com is an awsome game site for kids and adults! It allows kids to have a pet "born" that they first create, or they can adopt an abanndoned pet at the Neopia pound. everything is bought and sold for NP's (the money of neopia). When signging up for an account, users choose their age, so they are only allowed to do cettain things and cgo to certain places. It is a great and fun site!

My kids play on the website daily. They learn to take care of thier Neopets. Have their own "pretend" online store, play lots of games, explore, etc. Email without worrying about the bad language, etc. This site is monitored very well.

I have even played some games. They are just as fun as other sites online. As I mentioned before.....bad language it monitored and will not be tolerated. All parents should have their kids play their games on this site. Even the parents can enjoy the fun.

This site can keep you busy for many hours.
