Fulfilling every child’s dream of protecting the planet and preserving diverse animal life, Petz Rescue Wildlife Vet allows young players to save, nurture and heal endangered animals. In the process they will face real challenges on the journey to becoming a great veterinarian, and possibly join one of the world’s most prestigious NGOs (non-governmental organizations).

Story & Gameplay
The game begins with players in the role of a young vet, who has just opened their first animal clinic. Through a series of more than 30 missions you will provide a number of veterinary services including caring for neighbors’ domesticated pets, as well as the local exotic baby animals you come across. These animals cover more than 22 different species including: sea turtles, panthers, giraffes, panda bears, zebras, kangaroos, elephants and penguins. Using the Wii Remote to perform various functions related to diagnosis, curing, observation and healing of these animals, you will gain a greater understanding of their physical structure and what it takes to keep them healthy. Eventually, the respect and confidence this knowledge gains you with your clients and in the community will open up a new storyline within the game regarding a mysterious illness that is affecting all the animals in the area. Investigate this to find out if the local factory could be polluting the rivers and thus be causing the animals’ diseases in a quest to put your skills to the test to save the wild creatures that we share our planet with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Petz meets Trauma center, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Petz Rescue Wildlife Vet (Video Game)

If you have played other Petz games on DS, this one is very similar. This is a hybrid child of Trauma center and Petz. As with other DS games, this is one is super short... 2hr or so. The game is very well executed, perfect for a 8+. Even adults can enjoy this game very much. All your missions have TR style clock; that keeps on you toes. Some missions will require you to try a couple of times; not very difficult though. You can replay the game and not get bored. You get a variety of missions from on the field rescue, to diagnosis and research. Research is very educational, you learn a lot of tit bits. In the field missions takes you to different places to locate and treat animals in their natural habitat. Panthers, kangaroos, baby elephants and variety of animals. You also get the Trauma center style operating room experiences. There is very good balance between indoor and out door activities. One surprising element is the visuals, it is not blocky polygons. They have taken some time to make the game look decent. There is no online play.

There is also wii-mote specific mini-games, so it is not simple DS port up. Some mini-games require you do wii-music style sounds to bring the hidden animals from the bush or use as a blow gun and clearing shrubs and trees. As with any other Wii games, there is a also a mini-game arcade that you can play without the main story. They get unlocked as you progress and finish levels.. The min-games are quite fun too. I just wish the game is longer for the money.

This review is from: Petz Rescue Wildlife Vet (Video Game)

The kids just started playing this game, and are getting hooked on it! My 8 year old, a video game fanatic, says, "It's fun. It's a good start if you want to be a vet. It's great for animal lovers." I think it's about time the kids can play a game that doesn't involve blasting or shooting. My daughter, age 6, enjoys it also, although there is quite a bit of high level reading (not necessary to play the game) that might require some adult assistance at the beginning. All in all, it's tame enough for the family, but enjoyable to keep our attention.

I bought this for my wife who just enrolled in veterinary school. She was amazed to find real information and actual situations in what we thought would be " just a kids game ". It is timed and might be a little tough for younger players. Overall a very entertaining game.
