Dr. Cares - Family Practice

I couldn't wait for new Dr. Cares game. And I wasn't disappointed when I finally finished it. STORY: - in few moments I wanted to hit some of these characters because of their behaviour (even my decision choices didn't really help for their stupidity...) - after playing the game you will understand my sentence >>> "JUST LET HER TALK, ASK HER" (and this game would be 30 levels shorter) - but even if story itself was irritating sometimes, I like the game. Some of the storylines were really interesting (but some where created just as a filler, I think) PROS: - a lot of minigames (I have a feeling it's even more than in previous game) - special levels for diamonds where you have to just finish minigames for ~30s (which is great for minigames fans) - Multiple endings (I think there are 3 in some cases) based on choices you will made in game CONS: - after finishing game, you can't change most of the decisions, so if you want to see other endings, you have to make another player profile in...

Fantastic!

This is one of the most disappointing games GameHouse created, I completed the game 3 times just to make the right choices (thanks to Google) to get the Newton achievement. You can't replay a level to change your choice, once it's locked you have to start the game over to change it (which is ridiculous). The graphics is so weak, I had an expectation that it would be good if you look at the main screen. But the people is not in proportion, the story didn't hook me at all, at one point I got super bored and frustrated. Then you get your daily challenge as well, that is just annoying. The game is better without it, I wish I could get my money back because the story just doesn't get better and in my opinion it's not even worth buying. Some of the levels lagged as well, were I had to play a challenge level caring for the animal 20 times just to pass it. I'm not buying the upcoming Dr. Cares, because it's like the game developers ran out of a story and graphic design. I won't even recommend ...

Fun to play, even though all your patients already know which treatment they need or which medicine they want. The story offers different endings, depending on your choices (interesting feature). So you want to pet seals, fix broken ponylegs or just meassure the blood pressure of a racoon? Here you go!

great game

As a fan of the Cares Series and a lot of other stories from this publisher, I can only recommend the third one in this series. There's a lot more drama and plot and I liked the level design. The choices are a cool addition to these managment games! The only thing I'm not digging is the daily challenge and the pets you can get, but that's since these were included in the games.

The third and last installment of Dr. Cares is the best out of the series. It's like they picked the best aspects from the previous two and mixed them together to create this. Amy is living her best life with her family, new boyfriend, and successful job when suddenly her estranged mother shows up to take her on a new adventure. While she's helping a pregnant dolphin, Jack and the gang have to deal with an environmental crisis in Snuggford. This time, the player can actually influence the course of the story by making several decisions which I find pretty cool. If only they had implemented the option to reset the progress at the end to play again so you could collect all achievements. The way it is though, you have to create a new account and start over entirely which is a shame. The gameplay hasn't changed, it's still a simple time management game with various minigames you know the mechanics of if you've played Dr. Cares 1 and 2. They also brought back the adoption center and dail...

The latest game in the Dr cares series has an innovative new idea for this vein of games, a story affected by your choices. This gives the plot another level of engaging as you're invited to explore the different results of the story, tho there is a defined best ending needed for an achievement. The story of Amy and her rough relationship with her mother is interesting and left me with strong thoughts on what I felt was right. All this on top of the tried and true gameplay makes quite a good game.

SUMMARY: 10/10 STARS, I believe this is the best game Gamehouse has ever made!!! I've always been a fan of their time management games, but Dr. Cares took a little bit to grow on me as compared to the franchises I was already more familiar with (i.e. Angela and Emily). The incorporation of diverging choice trees is groundbreaking, even when compared to the "choices" introduced into the previous Dr. Cares game. These choices really appear to make a difference! The character development (both for Amy and the side characters, even the more villainous ones) is a step up from anything I've seen in the genre except in the Heart's Medicine games, and the dynamic locations are second only to the Fabulous games. I love the introduction of different types of animals (horses, dolphins, foxes, raccoons, etc.), which really shows Amy's breadth of expertise as a vet. LOVE to see it! This is the first game in the genre I will actually be replaying due to the diverging plot points based on my choice...

[i] My Experience [/i] Family Practice has the same irritations as Pet Rescue 911, namely the inability to earn gold hearts (which screws with your ability to get check-out bonuses) and the wait time before a "customer" knows what they want. The wait time isn't hard to get used to, but in most of the other GameHouse time management games, customers know what they want immediately upon arrival. The gold heart issue doesn't seriously hinder your ability to easily earn the highest "grade" on each level, but it does complicate the ability to earn the "Purrfect" combo (checking out four customers at once). Doing this, in my experience, basically required you to allow a customer or two to lose hearts. However, the game still has the same engrossing feel as the other GameHouse time management titles. It's still engaging to keep track of your stock of items, prepare the most time-consuming items in advance, and to quickly complete the mini-games. It felt like it took a bit too long to restoc...
