Zoo Tycoon Review – Xbox One

It's rather ironic that one of the best Xbox One launch titles is a game that most people with an Xbox One will never even consider, let alone play. Sure, games like Dead Rising 3 and Ryse: Son of Rome have that initial shock and awe factor, and Forza 5 is certainly addictive for those who like...
Pros:
  • Positives Quality family fun
  • incredibly realistic animals in both look and behavior
  • lots of unlocks to keep you playing
  • great use of Kinect
  • endless replayability
Cons:
  • Negatives Menus layers are overly complex
  • some of the better animals are locked away and require a lot of gameplay to unlock them

Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection

I am so thankful Family Friendly Gaming had the money to purchase Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection on the Xbox One. The PR and Marketing for this company failed us 100%. It is great to see this game ported to the Xbox One with all of the DLC.

Zoo Tycoon (Xbox One)

Maybe I want more complexity as an old Tycoon fan but I feel the port of the style has been managed well and showcases a nice enjoyable game where you aren't forced to battle Romans/Zombies every 2 minutes.

Zoo Tycoon

Zoo Tycoon returns after nearly a decade, and arrives for the first time on Xbox. It also proves that a good management sim is addictive and fun regardless of platform or generation. Frontier Development's Zoo Tycoon was one of those dark-horse sort of launch day titles.

Perfect for kids and animal lovers alike

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
