 It's okay... August 1, 2008
Casey G. Thielen (Arizona)
Pet vet 2 is fairly fun game. Here is a basic overview: you start out with a small amount of money and your clinic, which you can pay to expand. (expand as in add after-care areas, ultra sound machines, stables and so on.) You can also take classes for a fee in the academy, which is in town. The classes basicaly consist of three questions on the type of animal you selected. If you corectly answer the questions, you can treat that type of animal in your clinic. Customers will bring animals into the clinic to be treated about every five minutes. as time goes on, assuming you treated the animals sucsessfuly, customers will bring animals in more often, up to every thirty seconds. Treating the animals is easy, all you do is hear the owner say what is wrong, then go over the animal with a magnifying glass, thermometer, or hand. once you touch the affected area, a notice will pop up and tell you what to do. Then you just click on the medicine and bring it to affected area and click, and tada! then you will recieve the money and the animal will disappear. The game is fun at first but it gets VERY hectic after you get after-care areas because you have to play with the pet, feed the pet, clean the pet, clean the pet's enclosure, go to the store to buy more food for the pets after it runs low. the list goes on and on. And all the care stats go down fast! All this you have to do while treating more pets, feeding your self and buying the nessesary things to treat your clients. So... if you're prepaired to be feeling almost crazy some times with all the things that must be down then get the game, but if not then don't buy it.
 My nine year old gives it 4.5 stars and loves it! March 21, 2008

This was given to my daughter as a gift for Christmas 2007 and its been a home run ever since. She plays it as much or more than any other game. She also enjoys petz5 cats and dogs ... so for any animal lovers you may have, this game is good. It teaches kids a number of things in the process. I was amazed how many quality hours of clean cut fun this game has provided my daughter.
High video system requirements, but fun game! December 31, 2007

We initially had trouble getting this game to work as it required a video card with a "pixel shader", which was not supported by our onboard video adapter on a brand new PC. After installing an inexpensive Nvidia 8400GS video card, the game works perfectly. Any basic gaming video card should work for this game. It was a bit surprising that a game for 8 year olds required a more advanced video card, but now that we are past that hurdle, my daughter has really enjoyed the game. She has said that Pet Vet 2 is better than Pet Vet 1 on Nintendo DS or Pet Vet 1 for PC. I find this game fairly entertaining to play with my daughter and aside from the having fun, it does have some good aspects around planning and budgeting to grow your vet practice.
 Great idea, Poor Game December 29, 2007

The game idea is a lot of fun. However, the game itself crashes back to the desktop sporadically. Very frustrating. I'm running it on a 2.5 GHz desktop with Vista, a GeForce 8300 GS graphics card, dual-core processor, etc. Fast computer handles Sims2 and ALL the expansion packs, Zoo Tycoon latest versions, Roller Coaster Tycoon, all expansions. No problems with any of these, but this Valusoft game won't work properly!
Healing the animals is fun, building up your "estate" is fun. But the constant crashing is a pain in the rear-end.
I updated my video drivers, uninstalled and re-installed the game and it worked fine for one day. When I rebooted the computer, BOOM, it started crashing again.
My advice, save your money and stay away from valusoft games. That's what I plan to do from now on.
Couldn't Play the Game December 27, 2007

I bought this game for my daughter after she had been asking for it for quite some time. My computer doesn't meet all of the game's requirements.
I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 2, Dell's XPS Media Center Edition, Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz, 0.99 GB of RAM, with 109 GB of free space. I installed the game and when I tried to launch it, the error message "Pixel Shader Unavailable" appeared. After uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I did a search and found out that I have the wrong video card for this game.
We have many games on our computer and have never encountered this problem before. Some of the games we have are: all of the Nancy Drew games, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Delta Force, and Star Wars Battlefront to name a few.
What started out as a joyous moment for my daughter, turned into heartache. I will not be handing over the money needed for a new video card just for this one game though.
