    This is one of the most addictive games on the ds, this game isn't as good as the pc games but it is still a great game. the graphics aren't that good, they should of atlist made it better, but they didn't. graphics are the down side, but the good side is the gameplay and how this game will not disapoint you in terms of enjoying a good sim,creating, fun kind of game.

    Faithfully reproduces the ZT experience, from building exhibits and guest facilities to managing cash flow. [Nov 2005, p.112]

    There's very little to redeem a generally poor effort to create a tycoon game for the DS that has any personality or creates any real fun for the player.

    Zoo Tycoon DS captures the basic idea of what a Zoo Tycoon game is all about, but in the end it feels more like a cheaply made imitation than an engaging strategy game.
