"As a nitpick, I found that the mini-games on the computer should have been labeled. All you get is the classification "Office Games" and "Outdoor Games", but if you tap any of the icons there is no description on the top screen, and it launches the game right away.
Still, I enjoyed my handheld veterinarian experience, and a lot more than the one I had on the Wii. With a few tweaks here and there and more variety in the mini-games, I'm sure a future handheld installment of Zoo Vet will certainly do well."

Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals takes a less beaten path and tries to add in some complicated medical terms and abstract stylus doctoring, but at its heart, it's just a cheap attempt to cash in on a love for animals without any real game to back it up."
At $30, this isn't an impulse buy and it's not a budget title. Mygamer really can't see anybody wanting to buy this game, and they certainly won't suggest otherwise. The game isn't terrible, but it's definitely bad. Avoid.
Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals in an interesting study in contrasts. On one had it has fascinating stories of zoo-based medical intrigue, coupled with serious, educational and interesting summations furthering peoples understanding of veterinary science. On the other hand it has gameplay that is reminiscent of trying to build a series of bookcases from Ikea, only with the instructions having been shredded and scrambled before you start.
