What is it supposed to do?

I just don't get this game. Neither does my 7-year-old son. It's not the least intuitive and seems pointless--other than riding around in a golfcart.

"Long Awaited Remake of the Classic PC Game was Quite a Let Down"

Introduction I rarely get time to play computer games any more, but when my maternity leave loomed and I had a bit more free time on my hands in the early months, I pestered for this game from my partner.
Pros:
  • easy controls
  • bright colours
Cons:
  • not true to original
  • not enough design freedom

Depending on what you're after in this game, will determine how much you enjoy it. Also, you should simply search "Zoo Tycoon Limit". There is a 100 agent limit, as such that big open space you see, you'll never come slightly close to filling it, before you reach this limit.

Zoo Tycoon Review

aims to be educational and entertaining for kids of all ages, and in some instances it succeeds. While the animals are gorgeously detailed in their own right, learning about them and creating an enriching environment for the cuddly critters isn't always presented in an enjoyable way.
Pros:
  • Great animal detail
  • Fun animal facts
Cons:
  • Useless Kinect controls
  • Unintuitive menus
  • Boring research

Monkey business.

Zoo Tycoon impresses you immediately with its animals. The authentic and adorable behaviors they exhibit make Zoo Tycoon an endearing game that fosters an appreciation for the diversity of creatures with whom we share this planet.
Pros:
  • Animals are adorable and behave in believable ways
  • Makes its concepts accessible and easy to manage
  • Driving around in a buggy is fun
Cons:
  • Clunky interface adds numerous unnecessary steps to many basic actions

Zoo Tycoon Review: We bought a Zoo

I've always had an interest in the Tycoon games. There's something about managing a theme park or perhaps a casino -- or in this case a zoo -- that always felt so enticing to me. Whether it was laying out the land, choosing which animals to showcase near the entrance, or what entertainment will keep...

Zoo Tycoon (Xbox One) Review

The only reason you should play Zoo Tycoon is for the same reason people go to a real zoo in the first place: to see animals so adorable that you have to punch a wall five times to regain your manliness.
Pros:
  • Cute
  • well-modeled animals and interactions
  • Smooth graphics and animations
  • Solid tutorials
Cons:
  • Zoos reach capacity within three hours
  • Too much menu-hopping
  • No pause button for time
  • can't appreciate animals for long
  • Tags

  • Simple and straightforward
  • Charming animal animations
Cons:
  • 'Zoo limit' restricts the fun
  • Customisation too basic
  • Lightweight Kinect features
