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.
