Zoo Vet



What a boring game!


My kids liked this game, until it came time to take the animal's temperature--rectally! Then, one animal's wound needed surgery, which required a cut, and removing a "yucky thing", and stitching it back up. It wasn't overly graphic, but the kids didn't enjoy it much. It was a great learning experience for them, but overall it didn't score too well.


Perhaps on the harder settings it might be a challenge, but on the easy setting we played together, it pretty much leads you through what to do step by step. It was good to help the kids learn what a vet does, but as I said, it was pretty boring. There were about a dozen cases to work with, and then the game is just over.


One way to help children become more aware of anatomy, but definately something I don't see my kids volunteering to play.

This is another fun shockwave game from shockwave.com.


In this game, the Uncle is losing his resturants due to the inability of his nephew to run them. In each setting you get help from friends and family.


It's a quick paced customer service game, that'll keep you on your toes.


Overall it's pretty simple, but it's very addictive.
