3 out of 5 stars Zoo Tycoon   October 20, 2008
I bought Zoo Tycoon in a "Two for Twenty Pounds" deal: not bad. I was really looking forward to this game, thinking it would be really easy and fun after seeing my friend playing it, but I was wrong. It was OK to start off with, but the animals escaped instantly and the instruction booklet didn't tell you what to do about it. The game also kept telling me that my lions, gazelles and mooses(all of my animals!) were hungry. I bought them each a zookeeper and a maintenence worker after the booklet said that a zookeeper would look after your animal's health, give it food and water etc. and a maintenence worker would look after the animals' pens. It didn't work. The game also told me that every animal needed some water in it's enclosure, but there wasn't any for me to give them! Altogether, it's OK, but if you're not patient and are looking for a straight-forward game that's easy to set up, don't choose this one.


5 out of 5 stars Zoo Tycoon - Brilliant!!   September 7, 2008
I am a 12 year old girl and i have been playing this game for ages and yet it is still really fun and interesting! You can create your own Zoo how you want in 'Free Form' Mode. Or you can play the 'Levels/Senarios'.
They are really fun and challanging and get harder as you go along.
My 9 year old brother has this game aswell and he totally loves it too. Its suitable and fun for all ages. You can build your dream zoo, which can be almost anything!! The only thing is that is is quite hard first of all to find out how to work everything but once you do the game is practicaly flawless!
A Must Buy!!

(This review is written by Sian Prest age:10)This game is really confusing and i don't get how you unlock anything.I wouldn't buy it because it's quite expensive for what it is.Horse life is the best game and compared to Zoo Tycoon Horse life is brilliant and Zoo Tycoon is rubbish!!!!

Zoo Tycoon is a pretty good adaption of the PC game to the DS format. The tracking is kinda slow, you can't zoom out enough for a decent overview, the sound FX are limited and you will get serious eyestrain with the small graphics. BUT, and it is a big BUT, this game is just as addictive as the PC format. You will have hours of fun building your zoo and keeping both animals and guest happy, and you will delight in problem busting when things need tweaking as the game progresses. Overall, this is a great game which is perfect when you can't play the full PC version and you'd like that great, addictive hit that this game brings. That's how I look at it. Well worth a buy for most DS game collections.


1 out of 5 stars Not as good as the PC version!   February 26, 2008

I LOVE the PC versions of Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2 (I have all the expansions) so when I got my DS I was really pleased to see I could have a transportable version of the game.

Safe to say I was disappointed. I played it a couple of times, found it limited and tiny. The grid was VERY annoying as you couldn't see where you were putting ground types down and overall it just pales into insignificance compared to the PC versions.

It has sat on the shelf since the day after I bought it and will stay there until I trade it in!
