because I would have NEVER bought this game! The graphics are really cheap, the sound quality is very low, and the game lagged. The initial excitement of 'examining' the pets wears off quickly, and you are basically led every single step instead of just playing vet yourself. It's a real shame, the idea of the game is really good, it just falls short of expectation.
Sorry for the pun, but couldn't help it! I didn't like this game. Didn't make any sense to me, was confusing and was quite boring. I did not like the visual quality, it had a 'cheap' quality to it. To top it all off, I couldn't even find a way to exit the game itself!
Basically, it's like a crude 'Life Quest', with the same game limitations. The one thing I definitely enjoyed, however, is the Canadian references!
I don't recommend this game.

Like all Carrie games, the levels become more and more difficult as you go along. I often get to the point of getting very stressed out near the end of these games! LOL! But this game is also alike the previous Carrie games where it is quite repetitive, and it becomes boring. It's more of a 'pick up now and then' game, rather than a 'gotta play the whole thing tonight!' kind of game.
I recommend this game!

I think this game is a matter of personal preference, so it is worthwhile a demo download if you are interested in crime-based 'investigation' and hidden object games. For me, this game was boring and run-of-the-mill. I own a couple of these kinds of games, and this one didn't even hold my interest.
I found it boring. The hidden objects were redundant and did not even fit this type of game. Story line is boring and unnecessary at best. After about 15 minutes, I didn't even want to continue. I will not be buying this game.
I don't recommend this game.

The storyline was horrible. The 'jokes' were all misses. I actually thought it would be a cool game when I downloaded the trial, but was quickly disappointed. If the game was heavyer on the medical proceedures, and a lot less of the poor dialogues, I think the game wouldn't be as bad. I will not be buying this game.
My main criticisms of the first CA were that it was too short, no retry button if you make a mistake, and being over-specific. This one addressed all of them! I am happy I bought this game, as well as it's 2 predecessors. Lots of fun!
It's a fun game - you want to keep playing it. It's a fun way to pass time. My three points of criticism are 1) I wish there were more recipes, 2) I wish there was a 'retry' button after you make a mistake with a step and 3) I wish it wasn't so specific. For example, if you have to fry something, you HAVE to use the one item with the arrow - you can't just take any other thing to fry. Other than that, this is a very fun game, and I am happy to have bought it!
I recommend this game!

I say that, because while the game is repetitive and easy, I just can't seem to get enough of it! When I play it, time just goes by without my knowing! Definitely good for when you just want to fill your time doing something. The nice touch to this one, that is not in the first one, is the ability to make your own recipes, and more chocolate-making choices. Overall, I am happy I bought this game.
I recommend this game!

I like brain-training games. It's not as difficult as the DS Brain Age, nor as fun as Wii's BBA, but it good for a simple brain-training game. I usually do it once a day, or after a few days. It's not a game you can play with hours on end. The games are challenging, though I don't quite understand how they come up with their scoring.
