Since I love the PC version of this game, I thought I'd try it on DS so I could take it with me or just play in bed instead of sitting on the computer. That was a mistake. It does not have the detail of the PC version, I can hardly make any money on the restaurants and shops and at least the first few scenarios were too easy. If you've played this game before, it's not worth it, but if you're new to Tycoon games it might be a good place to start since it's pretty simple to pick up.
I do enjoy this game. However, I have a major problem in the last campaign. It freezes on me. Does anyone else have this problem?
This game is enjoyable if you are into animals. I love seeing the little heart that pops up on new babies, I get so excited. You can click on any of the animals and interact with them by feeding, cleaning, etc. It's the kind of game, however, that gets boring after a while. But, the only major problem I had was with the last campaign. Right before it freezes, the animals get placed in other exhibits... I saw the dolphin swimming with the camels!
We bought this for an 11yr old boy's birthday present. We decided to try it out first (lol, couldn't resist) and we were glad we did. We definately bought it for the wrong agegroup. My 6 yr old daughter ended up loving it... got something else for the 11 yr old.
The things I like: I believe its the computer version, but some of them you can drown the guests and feed them to the lions. I don't think you can in this one, not that any of us have discovered anyway. :) Also, you have to learn what habitats the different animals thrive in. A very small educational value added in.
Things I don't like: none so far. It's a favorite around here.
