    Zoo Tycoon games have given me a great deal of enjoyable game time over the years, and to say I was looking forward to Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection would be an understatement. Thankfully the game on the whole is pretty good, but it does suffer with a few setbacks from time to time.

Thankfully the game on the whole is pretty good, but it does suffer with a few setbacks from time to time. Without a doubt this game has the most content out of all the other previous game’s so expect to sink a number of hours into the game. There is also a huge amount of animals for you to purchase, and I really loved how they gave you detailed information on the different animals. The game also offers you a lot of challenges but unfortunately I found these to lack variety and when doing these challenges I did find myself getting bored. I also think the game was a little too forgiving and I must admit that at times I was craving more of a challenge. The controls in the game though were something I was very impressed with and they were implemented that well that you’d have thought they were originally meant to be designed for a controller. I was also impressed with the multiplayer mode, and whilst I noticed a few technical issues every now and then it didn’t impact on the fun factor much, which is a relief. The presentation side of the game is brilliant and it’s by far the best presented game in the series. Visually the game has a lot of detail added and the sound design is what you’d expect from a zoo, which is great. At the end of the day if you’ve never played a Zoo Tycoon game then this game is a perfect place to start. It’s also perfect for fans of the series and they’ve done a very good job of continuing to make the series a very enjoyable affair. It does have a few niggling problems here and there, but on the whole it’s a very good addition to the series and Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection gets a thumbs up from me.… Expand

    Zoo Tycoon comes back more complete than ever, with 4K enhancements and HDR support in a title fit for young and old with more than addictive gameplay.

    The music, whether you’re driving a buggy or walking around, is unobtrusive and doesn’t interfere with the background ambient sounds, which I like.

    Even if you owned the 360 version, there is a nice visual overhaul and a handful of new exhibits and animals to utilize. The animals look amazing and the interactive moments can be pretty fun.
