This game seems to capture the most adorable qualities of each and every pet. I've worked with our local Humane Society for several years, so I am a little critical when I see games with animals. The stunning realism and character of these animals is astounding. Their expressions and actions convey a sense of genuine personality. As for the games, I think each one of my daughters friends has a different favorite. The puppy treat toss game seems to be their overall fave. As for the Amazon.com review, it said their were only 8 missions; we have found 15 different rescue scenerios so far, with even more rescue variations. I don't think the tester used the e-mail for new rescues. In summation, if you have a young girl on your Christmas list, this game is a must.

I bought this game for my sisters birthday and she has been playing it non stop! She absolutely loves the games! She actually has stopped bothering my mom for her own dog! Its amazing it keeps her so busy!

The Barbie Pet Rescue game was a lot of fun at first-and I played it for about 2 hours. There were three colors of the animals so you never know which color you might find. Once you rescue an animal, you get to feed it, clean it, and keep it until you rescue another animal just like it and then it is adopted. The only bad things about this game were that you'd do the same thing over and over, Barbie's voice is a little annoying, and the hamster you have in the game always escapes. Also, would you really find a turtle in a well? It's not realistic. All the animals in the game are perfect, that is not true. Many rabbits bite, dogs run all over, but in this game all the animals are cool, calm, and collected. Also, when you adopt an animal, you get a message thanking you. Many times you get the same message over and over! Thanks for listening to my review.

My 6 year old daughter received this CD-ROM for Christmas, and, ignoring all her other multitudes of gifts, proceeded to play it for the entire day! The graphics on this program are just so life-like AND the faces on these little critters are just so ADORABLE you can't help but fall in love with them! This program is wonderful for encouraging empathy and caring, and for encouraging problem solving skills! There are MANY different missions that require your child's "help" in rescuing various animals (including a monkey and a cockatoo!) from all sorts of sneaky and precarious spots! There's also a vet center (but no bills to pay!) and fun games in the playroom that include a turtle race and a hamster maze. In addition, your child is encouraged to pet and groom the critters. All in all, a wonderful product - my only complaint is that you couldn't CLICK on more things to make them "do stuff"! But that's just me! A SUPER PROGRAM, nonetheless; ESPECIALLY for young girls who love animals!

Do you like to save animals and pets? Then this is the game for you. It has perfect pictures of the pets you save that they look so life like. I like when I go to the check-up room and you check the animals that you chose but one can't go there and that a big Golden Retriver that you find on a farm that chases a chicken. I like to wash the pets and play with them. I really like this game and you will like it to when you buy it.

I bought this for my daughter's last Christmas (ages 6&8)--They still love it and spend hours rescuing, petting and playing with the pets with Barbie. Other reviews mentioned that it was difficult for thier children- I must admit a couple of areas were somewhat difficult (the puppy treat toss and rescuing the monkey on the playground- were the only areas they had trouble with)- But it took a few chances at playing for them to have the movements figured out. My niece (age 5) also received this last Christmas and has been the same experience for her as well!

This is the perfect way for children to help other things like abanded pets,and to adopt pets. It is a very cute game. I really love it. I think it is a great game for girls or some boys that are pretty young. It's great for kid's who love animals or have pet birds, cats, dogs, turtles, and bunnies. It encourages them to start to help out more with their pet (if they have one) I'm not making the choice, you are, I can only recommend you to get it, anyways all I'm saying is it's a wonderful game! To wrap it up(my opinion): my advice is: JUST GET IT ALREADY!

This game is pretty fun, but it's for little kids.
You go on missions with Barbie and rescue cats, dogs, birds, turtles, rabbits, and finally, a monkey. Once you rescue the animal, you can check it out at the Pet Rescue Center. You can play games with each of the animals except the birds, and the animals are kept in the Playrooms. You have to figure out how to save the animal from whatever minor predicament it gets in.
Okay, to begin with: The animals NEVER get sick. They're always just so healthy. It would be more fun if you could keep at least one of the parrots you rescued. Plus half of the e-mails say, "Oh, help, Barbie! My little kitten ran away!" and then you name the kitten, and then it gets adopted by somebody else other than its first owner.

Second of all, the animals are WAY too tame. Animals don't just sit there in their bed like that. Trust me, I have a puppy probably about as old as these dogs, and he does NOT always just sit there. Unless Barbie gives sleeping drugs to her animals, they wouldn't act like that.

And why don't you check out this dog who's been running wild at a farm for who-knows-how-long and probably has rabies, but you check out the little kitten whose owner just called five minutes ago saying that she ran away?

But overall I like how you get to wash and feed the animals. It's also really cool how they can't have more than one vitamin a day. And different food should be given to different animals; why do the turtles eat dog bones?

But overall, the animals are cute and the rescues are fun. It's nice that there are different breeds of animals, too. And you can't bathe cats or birds, either, which is realistic.

I like it how you can rescue the animals at different places, too. This game is overall pretty cool, but slightly repetitive and babyish.

If you are under 10 years old, you should think about buying this game. It's fun!

I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old who both love this game. The 7 year old mastered it in a day, however. She still plays it sometimes, it's fun, but not challenging. The 4 year old, however adores it! She loves washing the animals and playing games with the puppies. She also has mastered it, but it took her longer. If you have a 4-6 year old, I think this game is perfect, any older, though, and you'll have yawns within a couple of days.

This game is wonderful! I played it for hours. After you rescued an animal there would be a "mini movie" for about 10 seconds, and the graphics looked almost real! While playing the Bunny game I almost thought that they were real rabbits! The only complaint is that there's no escape when there's a "mini movie" or someone is talking. You have to listen or watch the whole thing. I am definently getting the gameboy color one, which looks just as awesome!
