Summary
Animal Centre, the game that gets you to play vet from Braingame Publishing, is returning to shop shelves for the DS and Wii.
Just as the original version of Animal Centre did, the new edition captivates with detailed 3D-graphics, countless possible actions and irresistible quadrupeds. As one would expect from a vet game, the cute patients have to be examined and after careful diagnosis attended to, fostered and taken care of by the sympathetic vet. Naturally, regular petting and playing with the sick dogs, cats, bunnies, piggies and horses adds to the fun.
But there is also an economic aspect to the dream vet job. How to maintain one's own clinic? How to invest earned money profitably? By purchasing appropriate professional literature? Or maybe by getting the latest medical equipment, instead? Under realistic economic conditions the prospective veterinary practices responsible budgeting and thoughtful handling of money. The vet who, after all that responsibility, is longing for relaxation may indulge themself after hours with a bubble bath, a new hairdo or a delicious dinner.
Of course, the young vet may browse and bury themselves in the comprehensive knowledge section at will. Here they find carefully illustrated information about his or her cuddly patients, the most common animal diseases and their treatments. As before, studiousness will be rewarded, because knowledge means competence.
The Nintendo DS stylus is used for examination, feeding and petting - not to mention the assignment of the microphone. With their gentle voice, the vet calms down nervous patients during their treatment.
