Pat'Patrouille: A game made for young and old
A relatively decent service life
Pat'Patrouille has a good lifespan: seven levels composed of three missions each. Two puppies are sent to the field, before being joined by two other puppies to help complete the level. The briefing – given by Ryder before each mission – is used to determine the best strategy to put in place to achieve the objective. The goal? Choose the most suitable puppies according to the type of situation and thus make the most of their abilities. To succeed, you will need to use the skills of each character, mandatory to complete the levels. 
The developers also thought of everything and made the game faithful to the series. The opening credits are similar to the cartoon, the abilities of each puppy are identical and the voices are similar. The graphic realization meanwhile, is almost similar. Incredible! It's like playing the series. A game designed for all lovers of the brigade.
Small downside: loading times
It will not be uncommon – see systematically – to have loading times between each passage from one screen to another. The game is already based on a slow pace, loading times may tend to taint the experience of some. But this is only a detail and between us, it is not what a younger one will pay the most attention to. Children are even less critical than we are, as their quest for perfection just results in having a good time. 
Pat'Patrouille and its bonuses: mini games, badges and achievements
The title embarks the player on fairly linear levels, only one possible direction: straight. On the way, it is possible to collect a maximum of cookies and three shields. The goal is to collect as many items and cookies as possible to unlock at the end of each level, mini games, badges and achievements. 16 mini-games, 20 badges and 1000 achievements are to be collected. 
Pat'Patrouille embeds an ease of gameplay
The maneuverability is fluid and there are three basic actions: forward, jump and perform special actions specific to each puppy. You will have to switch repeatedly between the two characters to advance – as said above – because each has its specialty. For example: we will need Ruben 's help to clear a rock, and thus allow Rocky to build a staircase and finally, call Stella so that she can come and drop the object on the ground. 
Last detail that is important: Pat'Patrouille also integrates a co-op adventure. Indeed, you will be able to help during the game. And why not initiate the youngest to adopt their first reflexes? There must be a beginning to everything. – the test of the game Pikmin 3: Deluxe also integrates this system of cooperation – So, not bad right? 
A benevolent universe: Pat'Patrouille values
Connoisseurs of the universe of the Pat'Patrouille series will certainly have noticed the messages hidden in the game. Take the case of Ryder – the 10-year-old boy – His optimism and the trust he places in his puppies already transmits positive values such as mutual aid, team spirit or solidarity. Important values that a child needs to understand. Another example : always in Ryder's attitude. He is always considerate and friendly with his puppies. Another great way to show children how to behave towards animals.
