Pet Pals: Animal Doctor - PC/Mac

the version we ordered did not run on our computer (we have windows 7) but we did find it on BigFish Games and my daughter loves it. She has to guess what is wrong with the animals and then tells me about it. It uses real vet tools and does not condescend to children or anyone else who might play these games.

My 7 year old daughter loves all animals and already wants to be a vet. I had high hopes for this game after reading other reviews, but we were disappointed. The game play is too difficult for even a bright 7 year old. An 11-year-old cousin was able to work it well, but when she did, the game just wasn't that much fun. My 7 year old daughter was looking on and had no urge to say "let me try" after she understood the gameplay. My daughter has not played the game in the past month since that disappointing first day. The problem is that there isn't much room for creativity in Pet Pals which is what makes games enduring favorites. The tone of the game is very serious, everyone likes some levity. How about having a pets in the waiting get into some mischief? The game is too much like schoolwork: you must tend to the animal with the 'correct' remedy, and like a slot car in a track, there is no opportunity for kids to explore, make mistakes, or have fun. Rather than rote remedies why not let the child administer the wrong remedy and then let the customer come back angry - that would be funny and engaging. Possibly Pet Pals might be both easily navigated and challenging enough for a VERY narrow window in a child's life, but with the lack of creativity I doubt it.

Hi again, animal lovers of all ages!!! (wait, did I spell that right?!?) If you have read my reveiw of new leash on life, than you should be able to comprehend...comperhend... Whatever. I downloaded on a VERY OLD windows XP, and it works very well. as my title implies, the sequel is much more graphic than this (Don't worry the sequel is not that bad). well, I don't really have much to say.... akward. r awkward, GRRR..... ANYWHO...you don't get to do as much in the way of operations,(the cases are a little less dire emergency) but you get to do way more animals. srry not much to say to you people, so PEACE OUT! wcrtf (warrior cats rule the forest) :3

This is a fun game. It can be challening at times, but is overall pretty easy. The voice-acting is atrocious and annoying, but the graphics are good. My main problem is there is pretty much no replay value. Once I beat it (in a few hours) I never played it again.

good service thanks for the game i will order for u again this is a great game thanks again your great

Daughter loved playing this game but finished it too quickly. She was on it non stop for a while though.

I bought this for my granddaughter, an avid animal lover, for Christmas. When we tried to install on my computer, I found that it requires a legacy version of QuickTime so had to uninstall my current version to make it work. Only then did I realize this game is dated 2006. Should have been a tip-off that the software might be out of date. Next time, I'll check publication date before buying!

A great game while you're playing it, but definitely has a shorter shelf-life than you might want. For the $$$, not a bad buy, though.
