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”. The few negative comments about Neopets focus on the site’s penchant for viruses and its potential for hackers among its users. This is troublesome news, and users must be careful when playing games at Neopets. As long as precautions are taken, however, Neopets has proven itself a worthy Games Web Site that most everyone will enjoy.

Great site for all ages but a real time sink

NOV

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... read full review »

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.

Great, yet addictive site

FEB

2008

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... read full review »

This is a wonderful site for your whole family! I love this site and everything about it. I know my child and her friends can go there to have fun and not be exposed to anything malicous. The games are very much entertaining, and many of them are very creative. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to let loose and use their imaginations safely with their whole family!

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.

Neopets was once a very fun site for college-age kids like myself. As time went on it became more "kid friendly" in various ways, yet it still has many parts that adults can love like guilds, chatting, and games. However, in recent years, the site has started filling up with advertisements. Also, the recent "improvements" to the site have all been made to "force" players to buy items in real-life. For example; to clothe your neopet properly, one either has to play many games and save their neopets for a long time, or they can go to the store and buy cards for the NC mall. On the NC mall they...

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?

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!

Neopets is the BEST virtual pet site

Neopets is an online virtual pet site that is very easy to use and very fun and exciting. Once you get the hang of how everything works, you will be looking forward to logging on everyday. You can earn neopoints by playing cool fun games (anything from card games to adventure games and more), and use the neopoints to get cool stuff for your pets, like clothes, books, pets for your pets, weapons to fight in the battledome, training to increase defense, speed, food, virtual collectable cards/stamps/coins/shells, and much more. There are online message boards to help you with all the games and... read full review »
