A lot or a little?
The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Crazy Hospital! is an app designed to lure kids in with easy gameplay and gross-out humor and then hit the adults with almost unavoidable in-app purchases. Want to unlock all the medical tools necessary to completely cure a patient? That'll cost you. Want to see more than two patients? Pay up! There's also plenty of potty humor, including one patient with uncontrollable flatulence. Kids may love it, but parents should know what they're getting into.

What's it about?
Players "heal" patients by rubbing their fingers across the screen rapidly or maneuvering a piece of equipment into place (again by finger dragging), until a status bar is filled.
Is it any good?
In-app purchases are a reality of the app world -- and some games handle them better than others. It's hard to think of one that handles them worse than Crazy Hospital!, though. The sheer amount of arrogant greed on display in this app will leave you aghast -- as it offers the smallest of tastes of what it considers gameplay, before forcing you to pay for more or move on. The game counts on kids' attraction to gross-out humor, like farts and burps, to hook them, then counts on their incessant pleading to wear down parents' resistance. But even if you do pay to unlock all of the characters and tools, you're still looking at less than half an hour of gameplay. After that, you can simply repeat what you've already done -- and it's a lot less fun the second time.
