While the price of the game stumped me at first ($35 at Walmart) the game proved to be worth its cost. Simple to navigate and easy to play, once the game has completed its rather lengthy install. My only problems with the game: long install, and tends to crash my computer if I don't enter the game from the desktop. But neither of these problems are worth keeping me from the game, and downloading add-ons for the game are simple and worth the game itself. Little violence, comedic relief (around the end of October in the game a witch flies over, the same with Santa around the end of December) and excellent graphic make it an enjoyable game indeed.
Fun - but full of bugs that the patch did not fix...

As a fan of the other "tycoon" games, I did enjoy playing this game. Although, as you figure out how the game works and what is necessary to succeed, it becomes less and less challenging. I run this on XP and even with the patch, the game still freezes or the people start to "loop" and can't move. Hopefully another patch will be released so I can continue to play the game.

So I was playing this game the other day, and it prompted me to write a review for those who might not have been fortunate enough to play it yet. Basically, the game is exactly what you'd expect... it's a sim/strategy type game where you take the role of a zoo keeper, and build your ideal zoo. With dozens of animals, from African hunting dogs to saltwater crocodiles to Asian black bears, this game should appeal to any wildlife enthusiast. The whole goal of the game is to make sure your animals, and guests, are happy. The former is achieved by placing them in a suitable environment, the later by building animal house (like 'reptile houses,' 'primate houses,' etc), resturants, gift stores and other attractions. You can choose several scenarios, from free form games to pre-made games that require you to achieve certain, increasingly challenging, goals. Over all, a very cool game, and one you can get cheaply too. But it will still provide hours of enjoyment. Go for it!
