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

- Lightweight Kinect features

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.
