My Talking Angela 2

Angela has moved to the big city, and her apartment is basically a stage set for one cat's very stylish life. My Talking Angela 2 is Outfit7's virtual pet sequel, but where most pet games stop at feeding and washing, this one is built around fashion, activities, and keeping a busy social calendar for a cat.

The wardrobe is the headline. Hairstyles, makeup, and a deep pile of outfits let you dress Angela for fashion shows or for a Tuesday, and her look is fully yours to direct. Around the dressing up sits a long activity list: dancing, baking cakes and cookies, martial arts practice, trampoline jumping, making jewelry, and planting flowers out on the balcony. None of it is difficult, and that is the design — small, cheerful tasks in any order you like.

Trips out of the apartment add variety: travel adventures take Angela to new destinations, mini-games and puzzles test reflexes for coins, and sticker albums give collectors sets to complete for rewards. It all sits inside the Talking Tom and Friends world, so familiar faces and Outfit7's polished cartoon look come as standard.

Parents should know the business side: the app carries Outfit7 advertising and cross-promotion, offers in-app purchases, and has an optional auto-renewing subscription — although the listing notes everything can be accessed without paying, just more slowly. For kids who love dressing characters up, it is one of the glossiest pet games around.
