Summary: Vet Emergency Reuires Patience
Review: I bought this software for my son for Christmas. He loves animals and I thought it would offer some educational fun. He watched me make a couple of feeble attempts at the game and heard how the Veterinary Supervisor told me how incompetent I was. He declined to play because he didn't want to be verbally ridiculed.

Summary: A terrific game!
Review: I had never heard of Vet Emergency (or any of the Emergency Room games for that matter) until I saw it in a store one day and decided to buy it. I was glad I did! This game is incredibly realistic and I just couldn't stop playing it! I played it for about 4 hours straight before I had to go to work, then for three hours when I got home. The next morning, I was up and playing it again. In Vet Emergency, you are a just-out-of-vet-school veterinarian at Legacy Animal Hospital. The object of the game is to work your way up to head vet, not to mention saving the lives of dozens of dogs, cats, snakes, birds, lizards, and even a chinchilla. Another great feature is that along with the pets, you'll also have to deal with their owners, who can be a bit... strange.When you start playing Vet Emergency, you will be allowed to name your character. The head of the animal hospital will give you a brief tour and explain how to use your PDA device. You'll then get to start treating patients. At first, you'll be assigned easier, not life-threatening cases, and as you work your way up, you'll get to deal with emergencies like gunshot wounds and hit-and-runs. The realism of the treatments is incredible. You are given multiple trays filled with veterinary equipment and you must decide on the best tools and procedure for the animal at hand. You earn points by doing something right, and lose points for incorrect procedures and taking too much time to treat the patient. At the end of each case, you must fill out the patient's chart. This is the most difficult part of the game, diagnosing and choosing which Hospital Orders to pick. Once you have diagnosed the animal and either released it from the hospital or sent it into Internal Medicine, Surgery, or ICU, your performance is evaluated. Doing a good job on multiple cases will earn you a promotion. The only downfall to this game and the reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is it is a little too difficult for younger children. Even on 'Easy' I was extremely confused until I began to figure it out. Another slight thing with the game is some of the gross graphics. Because of the game's realism, some of tasks such as examining the patient's 'butt' and taking fecal samples are a little disgusting. But overall, this is a fantastic game and I recommend it to older teens, and definately anyone interested in the veterinary field.

Summary: My Favorite Legacy Interactive Game!!!
Review: I have every single one of the ER series games. I love them all. I recently purchased this game. If you think the other games have good graphics, real-life scenarios, and interesting game play, times that by two and you've got this game!
I love this game. The animals all look real, not some computer animated animals, and the vet-staff actually says nice things to you. Before you go into the treatment room, you can see a video preview of the case, by that I mean you see the owner come in and describe the problem to you.
Inside the treatment rooms, you have every kind of tool at your disposal. You even get to take the animal's temperature. And you don't stick the thermometer in it's mouth!
I REALLY recommend this game to anyone!! Have Fun!

Summary: If confusing is what you want.....
Review: I love all RPG Sierra games and I love animal science. I do have to admit the trivia is very enlightening and the 'easy' level is ok...but I spent money on this I really didn't have and I must admit, I'm somewhat disappointed. The game is very confusing and there are very few instructions in the book. I'm still looking through the book to see if I missed something but I don't think so because other people that have rated this game under 3 stars found the same thing I did. Well, I wouldn't say it's a total waste of money, but if you're an impatient gamer, maybe you should put this on the back burner.

Summary: confusion, counter-intuitive, crash
Review: I play a lot of games, but this one was one hard nut to figure out. A proper tutorial or a guided case in the documentation would have helped a lot. Then, the introductory video for each case had no voice and crashed (maybe because I run W2K--I give it that much). My first case was a dog. I checked the right ear, then spent 15 minutes trying to find out how to turn the animal so I could check the other ear. Turns out, can't do that. Well, I don't know an awful lot about dog medicine, so after stumbling my way through the case I charted the confusion and clumsiness up to my ignorance and went on to the next case, an iguana. I know much more about reptiles. After going through diagnosis procedures (10 minutes to figure out the x-ray machine), I went looking for calcium supplements. Eventually realized that all medicine is given by applying syringe (then the game tells you WHAT medicine you just applied). The trays are too limited, the possible actions too limited, the PDA is clumsy to use (I guess like a real PDA) with too big a font for good reading and too many modes. I didn't have any fun at all and am very disappointed.

Summary: A WONDERFUL REALISTIC GAME
Review: I played this game at my friends house. I felt that I was right there. It is so realistic I started to sweat. The game is not very easy but after a while of playing it I couldn't get my eyes of the screen. I suggest to all animal lovers/future vets, like me, to buy this great game!

Summary: want to be a vet this game is it
Review: I think i learned alot. You get to see alot of odd things that maybe people havent heard before. There are about 40 different tools. I think this game is good for every one to play even if your not a vet.

Summary: **Wonderful! A+!!!**
Review: It's a great game for anyone (it dosen't matter if you have had past Veterinary experience or not) A nice British lady takes you over the entire procedure and explains everything carefully. You then get to actually CHOOSE the patient you want to examine from the Whiteboard, and hear a detailed description and a short video clip. You then get to use your tools and help the patient. You even get to complete the paperwork when you're finished! For anyone with little vet experience - the research computer will help you. You can research the patient's sickness, or click your PDA for helpful hints and tips. The tools you need to use even light up when it's time to use them on the beginner level. Once you get more advanced, you can move up to the second level, and then even to the third. You won't get tired with this game because it's always a good thing to go back and save all the patients you hadn't saved the first time around. What a wonderful game! A+

Summary: WOW what a GREAT game
Review: The graphics are so life like the people who said that they were bad were wrong. It gives you so much info on the vet servies. I loved this game!!!!!!! this game has real life problems that any vet might see. If you wanna be a vet when you get older or if you are older and want to be one this is the game for you. I've always wanted to be a vet and I'm only 12! my parents pointed out this game for me and I bought it I love it.
