Pet Pals Animal Doctor & Zoo Vet Endangered Animals

It's funny that I just took our dog Molly to the vet yesterday to get groomed and at the same time the kids have been playing the new games I got from Legacy Interactive. We have Pet Pals Animal Doctor for Wii and Zoo Vet Endangered Animals for Nintendo DS.

We have a couple animal lovers around here and I have a niece who watches Animal Planet more than cartoons and has since she was little. Ask what she wants to be when she grows up? A vet.

The games have similar components, I took a picture of all the kids playing the Pet Pals game for Wii because, well, it's easier to get a big picture.

The animals are 3D, you have the ability to change the "camera" angle so you can approach from any direction. There are actual medical situations used where you are the vet and you try to do the procedure on the animal. So, there is a warning about a little blood if you have a squeamish kid. Also, the game says it's for ages 10+ which is true, it took my oldest (12) a bit to become adept at using the Wii remote as a tool.

For the animal lover and video game lover combined, these games likely hold their interest.
