Fun, but frustrating November 5, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like this game but it takes a lot of planning. I am not sure that children under 12 can plan and manage the money necessary to stay solvent without some help. Of course some adults can't do that either. The fields and beaches are not open. I understood that you had to reach a certain level before they would open. There isn't much time to ride with all the animals you have to treat and when they are in hospital, you end up spending your resources without guarantee of getting paid. Sometimes all you can do is not enough and an owner takes the pet to another vet and doesn't pay you. It just needs to be a little more user friendly. also if you try to speed things up by holding the shift key and the arrow key Windows will complain bitterly and kick you out of the game. There needs to be another way to make her run...like you can do with the horse.

Pet Vet Review August 11, 2007 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was tricked into buying this game because of the descriptions it gave on the box, it sounded like a lot of fun, but really all I did was throw away twenty dollars. The gameplay is slow and the graphics are terrible. When you treat animals, it's not like you can decide what to do about it, the computer just tells you what to do, so there's not much of a challenge in this game. Even though the box says it has over twenty cases, they are repeated over and over and it got so old. I wanted to treat all kinds of animals, but the game starts you out with hamsters and birds, and you have to pay like seven hundred dollars to take a class so you can treat just one animal. Overall, this game was a major disappointment.
Good Game, yet confusing July 15, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My 10 year old sister got this game. She says that she likes it, but when it comes to taking care of pet inpatients it gets pretty confusing because you have to treat and play with many many pets every day while you still have to earn your money as a vet, and in the end you spend a lot of the money you earn in medication for inpatients and the other patients. Sometimes you end up "stuck" in the game because you have to spend so much money for food and meds and you don't get to accomplish certain tasks that require you to save up a lot of money.

This is a fun game. But I found out that, to open the riding areas you need to download a patch from valusoft.com. It does remove all saved games.
