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.- Cute
- well-modeled animals and interactions
- Smooth graphics and animations
- Solid tutorials
- Zoos reach capacity within three hours
- Too much menu-hopping
- No pause button for time
- can't appreciate animals for long
