Zoo Hospital
SCORE: 69
I found Zoo Hospital on the Wii for a low
price on clearance. This animal related video game was on our list so I
spent the money to purchase it. I am so glad I did. We take care of the
animals in a zoo in Zoo Hospital. In fact these animals need surgery all
the time. We go from animal to animal performing surgery. Some animals
need more than one surgery at a time.
The lack of realism in Zoo Hospital is what bothers me the most. Let me
give you an example that shocked me. We can pet a king cobra to have it
like us. What? Petting a king cobra. What? Are you mad? What? Are you
crazy? What? Are you insane? What? In the real world that is going to be
a bite, and hospital visit at best. At worst you die.
Another lacking area of realism in Zoo Hospital is the animals. Lets say
it has ticks, or a rash or something. The animal is lethargic, nearly
dead looking. I’m sorry but something mild and superficial is not going
to cause that kind of a reaction.
We treat the animals in a series of mini games. A few hours into Zoo
Hospital and you will be sick to death of playing the same mini games
over and over again. What is worse is the animal will go into distress
while you are working on it. So you have to go soothe it, and hope the
random distress does not happen again - right away.
Families can fail the operations in Zoo Hospital. Leave the animal in
distress too long is a sure fire way to make that happen. What makes no
sense is the animal is sedated. So why is it going into distress when
you are shaving it?
The animals look nice in Zoo Hospital. The sounds are okay. There is a
real focus on the animals. To the point they are close to worshiping
them.
