He and his 9 yr old brother took turns playing it for hours that day (which,I feel I got my monies worth right there because it isnt much that occupies 2 active boys)and it being months later that I purchased it they still go back and look for the game to play. They showed me some of the things you have to do on the game, such as fixing an animals broken bones(which they thought was just neat!!), and removing an animal bad tooth by actually wiggling it back and forth till it comes out(they wanted me to try it, but I thought it was gross!) There were a number of things to keep them entertained for quite some time. I would highly recommend this game!!! |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-12      Realistic and interesting My boyfriend got me this game as a present, and although there are many other animal games out there -pet vet, dogz, etc. this is game that adults can enjoy without worry that it's too childish. Minus the storyline, with free-roaming play, it is similar to Trauma Center games. There are animated animals, interesting facts about them, and each one must be diagnosed and treated before new animals can arrive. The only thing I would say that they could have improved on is by adding more animals and more than one save file for replay and multiple players. The game continues as you treat some of the same animals each time with a different problem in order to gain badges of competence in each animal category. Some ailments include; broken bones, parasites, swallowing foreign objects, viruses, or just under/over weight problems. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-09      4 stars I give this game 4 stars. It is overall very fun and I love the setting. I want to be a vet and I love the game because of that. Most games are boring but I love this and it never gets boring. This came has pretty good graphics and the sounds are awsome. This came can never be beat, but you stop getting new animals once you complete it. You have to fix all animals the same way, bet you deal with teeth, eyes, bones, heart beat, cuts, ticks, and much more. Overall this came gets a four star. |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-26      Fun, educational, and absorbing My daughter loves this game and plays for hours. The graphics and sounds are great, and there is a great deal of educational material about each animal. There is a wide variety of exotic animals, such as meerkats, anacondas, warthogs, fossas, as well as the typical zoo lions, tigers, bears, etc. This is a big favorite in our house. |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-16      Good, but can get repetitive I agree with one of the reviewers above. I bought this game for a 6 year old who has more than above average intelligence and she quickly became bored of the game, due to it's repetitive puzzles and lack of a real storyline. The graphics are nice and the info is mostly accurate but like has been said before, there are limited ways to "fix" the animals and no variation. So much more could have been done with this game but as it is, it's really limited. |  |
