DS gets a not-so-fluffy animal game - Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals

Being a vet isn't all vaccinating fluffy kittens and comforting distraught owners whose hamsters have croaked it on the operating table. Well, not if you choose to be a zoo vet anyway.

And the life of a zoo vet is what Legacy Interactive's new game Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals is all about. Featuring 30 true-to-life veterinary cases, it invites you to treat everything from penguins to elephants. In what sounds a little like Trauma Centre with wild animals, you're given 15 different medical tools, each of which comes with its own unique mini-game, and are invited to attempt to save individuals from your menagerie.

There are also 30 different animals included, all of which look sufficiently cute and cuddly from the screenshots to appeal to your average animal-game-buyer.

And when you get bored with operating on them, there are six mini-games which allow you to 'interact' with them. Which sounds like the sort of thing that landed Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy in trouble with his white tiger when it bit him on the neck.
