Zoo Tycoon (DS) Reviews

Zoo Tycoon has now come to the Nintendo DS, making it easier to play as all other versions I have known of this type of games have been on the PC, so now you can take the game with you wherever you go. It's a game where you get to purchase and adopt various animals whilst creating them all for your own personal zoo. You have to manage ...  Read the complete review

Zoo Tycoon is a game for the Nintendo DS. The game requires you to build up your zoo, getting more exhibits and taking care of the animals (and there are over fifty to choose from), preventing them from escaping whilst also keeping your zoo's bank balance in order. The game is very easy to play and pick up on. You can either choose to ...  Read the complete review

I thought the idea of this game was really good but it didn't really work on the DS. I bought it on DS and played it on my DS lite and thought it was a briliant idea and the ideas in the game and options were good but the graphics and image quality weren't any good because of how small the screen was. It was hard to read text on the screen and ...  Read the complete review

I'd played this game on my PC but really fancied the idea of making it portable. They did it well - it is a tiny bit dumbed-down, but all the main features are there, making it a game you can really spend some time on. Obviously with a smaller screen it is a little bit harder to see things - and perhaps the detail is not so great, but it still has ...  Read the complete review

~Product~ Zoo Tycoon D.S comes in a plastic case with a picture of a zoo with a polar bear at the front. Inside the case is the small square disc which you insert into your Nintendo D.S. The instruction booklet and guarantee are also in the case. ~About The Game~ The object of the game is to build and manage ...  Read the complete review

Having always enjoyed tycoonesque games on the pc, it seemed only natural that I would pursue this interest with my nintendo DS as well. I had a look around and Zoo tycoon stuck out mostly because of the cute polar bear on the front, and the blurb on the back which managed to convince me that it was worthy of my £30. I wasn't ...  Read the complete review

I have just had a read through the other comments about people being dissapointed with this game. I do not understand how, it is a good game especially for someone who is intresed in animals and what sort of terrain thy have to have in their enclosure. What type of plants they like and how many male or females they like to have around them if any. When you create a enclosure for the animals and put them in, a little exclamation mark appears in the lower left corner and tells you what you need to edit. For example, if you have a giffafe and there is not enough water terrain they will tell you to add more. If you then add to many animals of the same kind to an enclosure it will tell you to sell one. An excellent game!

I really enjoyed playing this game at first. It is a stereotypical simulation game, where you create your own zoo and have a budget to stick to, new animal enclosures have to be researched, and you have to control ticket prices and advertising. You also have to ensure that your guests at the zoo are properly cared for, with ...  Read the complete review

i got this game a while back now as part of a buy one get one free offer at game and for that i think it was good value for money. Basically, its another one of those games where you build and manage things, in this case a zoo. You can either build randomly or play out a scenario in varying levels of difficulty where you have to pass ...  Read the complete review

I loved the PC version of this game, and so bought the DS version, but unfortunately I did not like the DS version of the game at all, as I found that alot of the missions were too complicated and so just ended up losing interest in them. At the beginning of the game you have to follow a few tutorial games which teach you the basics of ...  Read the complete review

The idea of Zoo Tycoon on the Nintendo DS is basically the same as the PC game. You get a zoo and you have to build exhibits to put animals in, restaurants / eating places for the visitors, toilets, paths for them to walk around the zoo - any conveniences you can think of. The animal exhibits are usually cages. You then buy ...  Read the complete review

I had this game originally on the PC so I was a bit reluctant to buy it on the DS but when I had picked up a different game I found it was buy one get one free and I didn't like the look of anything else so chose this. I thought it might have been slightly different from the PC version but it is exactly the same. In this game you have to build up ...  Read the complete review

This game started well and I enjoyed it for a month or so. You get to build your own zoo from scratch, build pens, buy in animals, wait until they breed and sell some, buy them toys, change their habitat to keep them interested and happy, build cafes, fountains etc to make your zoo a happy place to visit. You alter the price that people pay, you ...  Read the complete review

Intro: I got this game and thought wow my own mini zoo, I could care and feed the animals, sometimes the animals had babies so there was more animals to care for. How To Play: You start building the zoo with Paths, Fences, Water Fountains, Restaurants, Shops and Food and Drink Machines. You get visitors ...  Read the complete review

I've always loved this game for the PC, so I thought I'd try it out on the DS. Unfortunately, I have to say, I was quite disappointed. The basic concept is pretty much exactly the same as the PC version - you have to build a zoo, which includes building animal enclosures, choosing and looking after animals, adding extras for your visitors such as ...  Read the complete review
