Ubisoft has a new line of Planet Rescue games for the kids. These games are made to teach kids about the environment and how to care for it. There are four games for this series. Games for the DS are Planet Rescue Ocean Patrol, Planet Rescue Animal Emergency, and Planet Rescue Endangered Island. The lone Wii game is Planet Rescue Wildlife Vet.

I applaud Ubisoft for making these games. The games open the eyes of the youth to the various environmental problems that are happening at present.

Planet Rescue Ocean Patrol is a game where the player builds a marine sanctuary for endangered marine animals. In Planet Rescue Animal Emergency you get to play the part of a young vet treating various animals of their illness. In Planet Rescue Endangered you are part of an Earth Rescue Team whose goal is to rehabilitate an island after an offshore rig is causing various environmental problems.

For the Wii’s Planet Rescue Wildlife Vet the player’s goal is to join a prestigious vet clinic. But in order to do so you must first manage your own vet clinic and tour the world to rescue various exotic endangered species such as panthers, giraffes, sea turtles, panda and more.

I hope parents get these games for their children. The next generation must know about these issues to open their eyes and mind. The Planet Rescue games will be available in November, just in time for your holiday shopping.
