    Everything a puzzle game should be: simple, fast, hard, fun, addictive, and serviceably pretty. [August 2002, p.82]

    Fun and addictive, but the multiplayer mode displays so small that it limits the amount of gamers that can enjoy it.

    Zoo Cube won't convert or especially appeal to those who aren't already puzzle-game fanatics...but if you are a puzzle "animal," then this is truly something you haven't seen before, and it is strangely addictive.
  4. Adrenaline Vault

    The organization-heavy gameplay and the delightful animal theme are its two most outstanding areas.
  5. GameCube Europe

    The actual gameplay lends itself far more to a handheld format and for that reason alone, if you actually own a Gameboy Advance, you're probably better going for that version.
  6. TotalGames.net

    We'd recommend getting the GBA version instead.
  7. Gamer's Pulse

    While the lack of strategic depth and animal-centric theme might have made this a good candidate for younger gamers, an under-developed audio/visual presentation will probably lose their attention quickly.

All the elements mix together perfectly to create the best possible gaming experience. One of the greatest games of all time; next to Street Hoops and Minority Report, which are all on the same console. The Nintendo Game Cube ;)… Expand

    A mediocre puzzle game. To enjoy the scrolling madness of this game, you must be a puzzle fan. This will not bring newcomers to the genre.
