User Reviews about Zoo Tycoon

This is a good game that is fun for my 11 son but a little hard for the 8 year old. I didn't expect the used game to arrive without a case or game booklet but it worked all right. -- good game

I have always loved "Tycoon" games starting in the 90's with Railroad Tycoon. This one has to be the best one yet. My 7 yr old daughter got it as a present and I think I play it more than she does. However, she also enjoys it. She thinks it's neat to create cages and place in the animals. She's also learned that if you put in a male animal with a female animal in time you're going to get a baby animal. She's also learning quite a bit about animal's terrains and where animals come from in the world. I have never played the PC version, but I hear it's even better. The graphics are not the best on the DS version, but you are just working on a DS, not a computer.

I don't have any problems trying to create my zoo like other people have noted on their reviews. I find the interface is rather easy to use if you hold the stylus with the right hand and use your thumb on your left hand to move the screen around your park.

I do recommend this game for anyone 7 and older. Anyone younger may not understand the game. I find this game as addicting as the rest of the Tycoon games. -- Great game in a portable version

I liked Zoo Tycoon, but this is awful. You can't mix the animals in the exhibits at all, there's no creative aspect. The whole thing seemed overly simplified. The didn't add any new assignments either, so if you've played the PC game, you fly through this. This is essentially the exact same game as Zoo Tycoon, except much less fun. -- Horrible Adaptation of the PC Game
