The quality of titles bearing the Petz branding has been somewhat inconsistent over the past few years, with several games offering simply average experiences, while others have turned out to be hidden gems. The "Petz Rescue" sub-brand, though, has been consistently impressive -- and this first entry into that series on the Wii, while not an extraordinary game, is still a solid effort. Fans of medical sim games like Trauma Center should definitely give it a look, as should virtual vet game players who've, to this point, only been able to experience this style of design on the DS. A good game overall.

Overall, Wildlife Vet is a well designed game. The game-play is short and easy to complete, but is entertaining enough to keep players occupied and wanting to play on. In addition, the graphics and background music are both quite impressive and very well done.
Petz Rescue: Wildlife Vet is a nice approach to the doctor sim genre and moves beyond its franchise to be something new and different. Unfortunately, too much of the game treads familiar territory from other games, and doesn't offer a lot of longevity.
