I’m not a big computer games player. I enjoy the odd season of Championship Manager but find that generally games get too addictive and take up way too much of my time. This was confirmed when Paul came to bed very late one night and when I asked what he had been doing for so long, the only response I got was “Zoo Tycoon”. It turns out he had loaded the game onto our computer and then couldn’t tear himself away. So, of course, I had to find out what the big deal was. Well, not surprisingly, Zoo Tycoon encourages you to become a tycoon in the zoo world. To do this you have to build a zoo that looks after its animals, pleases its guests and makes money. It is ...  Read the complete review

After the release of Chris Sawyer' Roller coaster Tycoon, which was a massive hit, it has become fashionable to stick the word ?Tycoon? in front of any game that has a management theme. As happens with any copycat culture, some will be good and some will be bad, so how does this latest title measure up.

Zoo Tycoon is one of those games that brings back fond memories of my teenage years (which have all now passed - boo hoo!) as I used to play it fairly regularly as on a teenager and have probably owned the game two or three times and then lent it out to people never to receive it back. This game is a simulation game where you have to build and manage a zoo, hence the name 'zoo tycoon'. The game is available on a couple of different computer platforms but the one that I play, and hence am reviewing, is the PC version. This is available from Amazon for just £1.99 at present and it's too much of a bargain to resist really, especially if you want something to fill ...  Read the complete review

Zoo Tycoon really is a brilliant business simulation, PC strategy game. The game was released in October 2001 and so has been around for a long while now. I bought this came for £15 from Ebay and I was so glad I got it because having tried it in a demo I fell in love with it! There is so much you can do within this game and it is guranteed to give you enjoyment. The game itself is about desgining, building and managing your very own Zoo and trying to make it as good as possible. In order to achieve this though you will have to build many animal exibitions and with more than 100 different animals to choose from you really are spoilt for choice. You can then ...  Read the complete review
