Unrealistic
(September 05, 2008) |

Ok, the graphics are good, but the game is too simple. Diagnosing the patient is the most exiting part-you can use many tools. But curing the animal is a bit stupid, you don't have to give medicine or any kind of cure, just feed the animal, keep the pen clean, and play with it occasionally. Once the animal's health bar becomes green, the animal is cured and you give it back to the owner.
The fact that there is no medicine ore other tools to cure the animal is what bugs me. It is in no way near to reality, animals don't recover just after a few days of water and food.
Cleaning the pens means going to your cousin and asking him to do that. One minute later, MAGIC, the pen is clean.
You start with taking care of cats, then gradually you unlock dogs, then rabbits, then pigs, and I think horses too, but I'm not sure of that. The fact that you can connect with that other game is, well, cool, as good as you actually know anyone with that game. And if you own it, well, you should have 2 DS's to make it work.
Each animal can do a game, but onestly, the games are sooo lame that I refuse to play them.
But on the bright side, the graphics are ok, the music is all right and smaller children will love the game. But as I already said in other reviews, there are much better games to choose from. |

Unassuming title for children
(February 15, 2008) |

My daughter(8) finished this after approx 6 weeks of casual play, seemed to enjoy what appears to be a glorified tamagotchi. It's a very simplistic 'pet hospital' management game, targeted at the younger gamer. The player is in charge of the family practice, complete with extortionate fees (realistic in this sense, I guess).
Punters arrive with sick animals (starting with cats), a diagnosis requires playing a few mini games, based on scribbling, blowing, copying and the usual DS antics. Nothing like Trauma Centre's operating theatre, though, just removing the odd flea, sticking a thermometer in various places, following ECG traces, etc. The animal is then housed in a pen, til it gets better, through patient aftercare and recovery, based on feeding, cleaning (NHS take note), and playing with the furry creatures - mental wellbeing is pivotal in recuperation in this practice (NHS take note).
Cured animals command a fee, when accumulated, allow expansion to build kennels, pig pens, stables, rabbit runs...etc. There's little difference between the different animals, the process of aftercare is very similar.
Excess money can be used to buy paraphenalia for your house, vet certificates, etc. Horses can be exported to Pippa Funnell 2 via the DS wireless link, apparently, if you know someone with that title, but not to the Loctite factory. None of the animals can actually die (should be no tears), you can't raise the fees nor bill for unnecessary medication, so everything is at a very simple level.
It's all run of the mill, very average gaming for the younger gamer, but my daughter likes it (hence the 4 stars), and I liked the cover on the box. |

A bit boring....

I must say, the company who made this must have rushed it. I mean, it's good when you diagnose the animals, but to heal them, you just pet them. It's not a very good game to buy. I have it and don't like it at all. If you're looking for a great vet game, check out The Sims 2 Pets (For DS!) |

Well...

Everything feels very rushed when new animal pens are built, but I suppose this makes it good game play having a bit of a challenge. The pets are cute to look at and the vibrant colours make a happy atmosphere. Obviously not reccomended for non-animal lovers. |

this game was quite good to start with, basically all you do is buy a cat pen, cure cats then the same with dogs pigs horses and rabbits, you can buy things for your hospital, there isn't a wide range of clothes or hairstyles either and the game ended really quickly, |
