Zoo Tycoon Review (XBO)
In Zoo Tycoon you can hose down a baby elephant and pull faces at a chimpanzee . If you're not all rushing to your favourite game retailer to buy it right now, you're a stone-hearted, emotionless monster and Zoo Tycoon is definitely not the game for you.
Pros:
- Brilliantly modelled animals
- A great
- subtle learning tool
- Aesthetically pleasing and fun to explore
Cons:
- Kinect is a hindrance as much as a help
- Menus often work against you
- Game modes are generally too similar

Ok for children
My kids like the freebuild sandbox style option, however, your Zoo reaches maximum capacity very quickly which is unexpected considering the amount of land you have on the view. This means you have to build multiple Zoos in order to meet achievement requirements.
Pros:
- good game for all ages
- none so far

Simple but fun
Graphics and the look of this game is very good. Took a while to load but once your in a scenario it works very well. I would have liked to have seen more control over developments like the Theme range gave which you don't get with this game.
Pros:
- Good graphics & fun...good for kids
Cons:
- Basic park control

Pros and Cons
This game is loads of fun but it also has some good qualities and some bad ones. PROS : There are tons of different subspecies for almost all the different animal species. This adds to variety and immersion.

Fun to build and learn
Overall this was a game I did enjoy as an adult. Whether it's campaign mode or freeplay. Satisfy your guests to unlock more habitats and animals. One of the only downfalls it's the limitations. Not really because of space but because of the space builder bar.

Zoo Tycoon
Overall, Zoo Tycoon is a great launch title for the Xbox One that works well if played on a casual basis, rather than in lengthy stints. Despite its issues, picking up poo has never been more enjoyable.
Pros:
- Navigation is quick and painless
- Community aspect is a nice touch
- Multiplayer works well
Cons:
- Lack of depth
- Audio gets repetitive quickly
- Training Mode is tedious

Zoo Tycoon Review | Kinect With The Animals
Zoo Tycoon isn't your typical console launch title. It's an oasis of calm and entry-level accountancy in a cacophony of tyre smoke and bullets, a sim designed for all the family. And a Kinectimals sequel.
Pros:
- Varied menagerie of brilliantly-realised animals
- Enjoyable management suitable for less experienced or younger players
- but can be pleasingly stressful
- Surprisingly compelling
- features numerous unlocks and challenges
- Fun Kinect interactions and superb voice commands
Cons:
- Overlong
- boring and dull (if functional) tutorials
- Inconvenient interface - learn those voice commands
- Lacks advanced depth for genre fans
- somewhat repetitive

Zoo Tycoon Xbox One
It's Saturday night, and we're nuking turd piles in an Indian Elephant exhibit during a virtual heat wave. No one ever said that the life of a videogame zookeeper was glamorous. It's a lesson Zoo Tycoon teaches firmly; for all its warm, fuzzy screenshots of adorable chimps gazing at butterflies,...
Pros:
- + Easy to pick up and learn
- nice Kinect interactivity
- who doesn't like making animals happy, + An initially huge suite of tools to build out your park with
- Freeform mode good for the entire family
Cons:
- - Doesn't introduce enough new surprises after long
- re-researching for each new Campaign scenario grows tedious, ?

Maintaining A Safe Distance
At most zoos, numerous signs and railings adorn every habitat, designed to keep hapless patrons from coming face-to-face with the wildlife. That's a practical and life-saving maneuver in the real world, but keeping people at a distance doesn't work in video games.
