Zoo Tycoon review
Zoos provide a convenient location where wimps like me can come face-to-face with ferocious animals that, in the wild, would surely eat us. Zoo Tycoon on Xbox One aims to delight and inform animal lovers by capturing the thrill of such interactions in digital form.
Pros:
- Satisfying time management exercises
- Convincing animal models
- Extensive customization options
- Learning all about animals and conservation
Cons:
- Tedious menu navigation
- Limited number of unique species

Perfect for kids and animal lovers alike

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.
