Zoo Hospital is the first interactive vet game for Nintendo Wii that gives players the opportunity to treat 48 species of animals by performing medical mini-games using the Wiimote, including stitching wounds, lasering boils, killing microscopic viruses, pulling teeth and removing parasites to save the Zoo?s ailing animals.

The Zoo is in eminent danger of closure and becoming a mini golf course and the only way to save it is by improving the Zoo Rating to attract more exotic animals and visitors. The Zoo Rating is determined by the player's skills during mini-games and follow up treatments in the enclosures, such as patting, feeding and administering the correct medicines.

Treat animals well, and you'll be rewarded for your efforts with plaques and new animals. But let your Zoo Rating slip, and watch the visitors and animals disappear from the Zoo map.

The game offers realistic 3D animals and also features 2-player co-operative play to allow players to treat and interact with the animals at the same time. [source:mobygames]
