 Fab for animal lovers June 21, 2008
I think this game is good because you can go to town and get the things you need. You can get animals like rabbits,guinneapigs,budgies,dogs,cats and even horses! Sometimes it gets very bussy in the surgery and you have to concentrate. If you keep your customers waiting too long they get fed up and walk out.You find out what's wrong with the animal and then you treat it. I think this game is great for people who love animals.
 Good game but can seem a bit boring at first April 5, 2008

I got this game for my 7yr old daughter, at first she said she didn't like it and said it was boring but after a few times playing it she really got into it. The idea is to work hard to earn money by treating the animals and making them better, the only thing is there are quite big words when you have to diagnose the animals so she had to keep asking what it meant as she couldn't understand medical terms! When you get good at it and earn money you can buy extensions to your vet practice which will allow you to treat bigger animals like cats, dogs and horses. Overall not bad in the end but the game makers could have used simple words to describe treatments and medications so that children can easily understand them!

I had high hopes for this game. I thought it would have animal rescues, operations......you know, the usual vet stuff.
I was sadly mistaken.
First of all i was shocked by how poor the graphics were compared to most games. The camera was zoomed extremely far out and showed the vet and the practice that was only made up of some sims-style cutaway walls. i was than left wondering what to do as potential patients take quite a while to arrive.
However when they did finally arrive, it didn't get much better. The touch screen was poorly used, no stroking of the animals, no actual incisions using the stylus....just point and click. so boring.
Overall i found this very dissapointing. Do not buy for children. It would probably take them 5 minutes to get bored.
Its worth buying! January 13, 2008

I think this game is definately worth buying if you are into the animal games that are about at the moment. It is easy and quick to complete but quite enjoyable and fun and i found it quite addictive. The voices are a bit annoying but not really bad, in fact the only thing that irritated me and even put me off picking it up and playing it was the fact i couldnt find a way of feeding my horses, dogs and cats in their enclosures, i felt as though i couldnt play the game to its best but reading the review underneath has answered that problem! The other i thing i found was at first when riding the horses it was a bit difficult to complete the ride and find out where you started in order to get back into the stable, you just have to take note of the buildings around you when you set off, otherwise if you just exit then it doesnt count for your "ride" task. All in all i would definately say give it a go, its a light-hearted bit of fun and thats what game playing should be about!
Easy, repetitive but addictive and quite fun December 25, 2007

This game is indeed very easy, even very young players could complete it in a few hours. However once you have completed the 20 or so tasks, you can continue playing for as long as you want although there are no fixed goals.
There are some minor annoyances; in the animal enclosures your chracter often gets stuck because she can't seem to step around the animals due to bad programming. Secondly as the reviewer below me mentions, there are problems getting animal food at times. For the small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs and budgies) you can choose their different foods at their enclosures. If you want to feed cats, dogs or horses you have to walk all the way to your practice, choose the food in the store cupboard then walk back to the animals. This could easily have been fixed. Lastly you have no way of opening/closing your practice although customers stop coming at about 5:00 - 5:30pm. Since the day ends at 8pm, no matter what you're doing at that time, this means you have to rush around a lot during working hours between your practice, the village (where you get supplies) and the various animal enclosures.
On the plus side this game is addictive and fun, due to its repetive nature rather than despite it. It won't win any awards for innovation or graphics but it will provide you with a few hours of fun when you're bored.
