  1. A nice little sleeper here that’s destined to find fans among those who crave a fine blend of construction and financial simulation.
  2. If you already have any zoo games, you can just skip this one, as it does little to add to the genre so it is not a “must have”.
  3. The game's definitely enjoyable but it does spread the player thin, and in all honesty it comes off feeling like I've done this all before.
  4. Without apology, this is a good game that most any sim player should enjoy very much. Enlight deserves praise for not wasting time making the game look a certain way — and neglecting good game play.
  5. There are way too many game elements that hinder the game's overall fun factor – and without a patch, you may have problems with a variety of bugs - including the ability to save your game.

    Patience pays dividends, but won't cover these clubhouse fees. [Feb 2006, p.49]

    Editing terrain can be an absolute beast, particularly since configuring certain animal enclosures requires painstaking detail. [Feb 2006, p.66]

    Weary-feeling zoo sim with little new on offer. [Christmas 2005, p.102]

    This is one of those games that you’ll put in your CD jacket after its initial play-through, and one that will remain there, flipped-over many times as you look for a good game to play in subsequent months and years.
  10. In short bursts, the micromanagement isn't so bad and watching your park slowly flourish can be rewarding, but over time you may find that the whole thing just feels a little bland.

    Watching algae grow on your fishtank was more entertaining than this piece of trash .. Don't waste your money.
