Too hard for Kids, What's the age anyhow?

I bought this game for my 6 1/2 year old daughter, and it is way too hard for her. The game expects players to know the meaning of words like antibiotics, imunization, and salve. The players are also suposed to be diagnosticians and know the propper treatments for animals with aflictions such as lice and ring worm. What child knows how to do that? My daughter just kept trying to give the pets vacines and buy a horse and she got no where. No where on the box is the appropriate age specified. I would not recomend this for any child under 13.

More Info!

I love horses most, but love all animals and i want to know if this game has good voice acting, if you can still play it after you do all the missions, if the horse riding is realistic, and if the animals act as they should. (i.e. dog bark and wag tails) If you have any info on this game that is useful, post a replay! Thanks

Players who are interested in animals and future veterinary careers will enjoy this game! It is easier to earn money by treating pets for simple issues; ringworm, fleas, etc, and then deduce when pets have a more serious issue - mildew rashes and such. Playing as a vet, you have to decide when to purchase more supplies, and it is best to have them ready before issues crop up. Gameplay itself is pretty good - sounds are realistic (those of us who own guinea pigs will recognize that obnoxious squealing) and the graphics are pretty good. Once a few cases come by, players quickly learn which signs to look for to diagnose a pet's problem - scratching, missing patches of fur = fleas.
It can be hard to play with the camera - and for a vet, you'd think she'd be able to RUN. She is soooo slow. But hey, if you like animals, dream of being a vet, and are familar with these types of games, this one is one of the best on the market.

Fun but full of BUGS

I bought this game for my 8 yr old daughter. The game is fun. It is hard because of the big words for kids. BUT the riding areas do not unlock and its a in-game BUG! I've contacted ValuSoft and there reply is "they are talking to developers about the issue". They have graciously offered me a full refund. That is good of them! Another bug is taking care of in patient horses. The horses are healthy and the owner still comes and sais they are not well and they leave. Time wasted and no $! I hope they fix the BUGS, it would be a great game otherwise!

Great Game, but brief instruction

My daughter, who just turned 10 & I love this game!! The only problem we've had is the riding areas (forest, beach, ect.) never unlock for us to ride in. By the way, you can make your vet run, if you push shift & your directional buttons at the same time, also you can speed up exams & bloodtests' if you push shift after you push the exam or bloodtest button. Another tip, if you are in town at 20:00, you will receive a message to go back home & get ready for the next day. If you then go home your day will be extended until 22:00. It gives you an extra 2 min. if you have a busy clinic, to get extras done. If anyone knows how to unlock the riding areas,please let us know. I have looked everywhere & I can't find the answer.

They really dont open!! The feilds and meadows dont open the first time and you never get to do any other tasks. Maybe if they get it fixed, we can all get new games. And if you are healing a horse with a broken leg, you have to run it on the mats everyday until a pop-up tells you to stop. Everyday, after u run, a pop-up will come up and say "Godd Job, ____ is already walking better." After you do that, a couple of days later, another pop-up will come up and say "_____ Can walk normally again."

A Fun Game But there is bugs

It was fun but the fields and meadows never unlock like there suppose to. By the way to run hold down shift. Its in the manual. If you can't figure out what to give an animal look under diagnosis at the bottom of the file it will show you what to give it. Without the bugs its a fun game. (IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THE FIELD AND MEADOW PROBLEM PLEASE POST IT!!!!)

Very Fun But...

This game caught my eye at best buy and since I love animals, I had to have it!

The installing part was very diffucult for me. My mom had also very trouble installing it and we have a 98. I deleted my other games because we thought we needed room on the hard drive ot something but we didn't and I wasted all the games I worked hard on.

We tried the lap top and it seemed to workng fine at the start but it kept crashing every once in a while. :(

The game is very fun itself.. from what I played anyways... but i'm not too crazy about the graphics. It is a challening game, I agree but we couldn't keep it cause it crashed too much and messed up our computers.

If you want to risk buying this game for that price than go ahead, but my tip is to wait till it's cheaper so even if it didn't work, you would not have lost as much money as we did (19.99)

Thanks for reading :)

Not very fun at first..

It is really hard to keep money in this game without going down the drain. I just want to bond with dogs,cats and what not but it takes forever to unlock everything. I hope it gets a little more fun over time so i don't regret actually wanting the game in the first place..but i bet it will
