The game simply isn't as intuitive as it could be, the controls are difficult to navigate, the game doesn't allow you to do things you need to do and won't give any explanation as to why. I downloaded both this one and the Marine Park Empire games and I'm afraid, after trying to play both of them, I had to stop, dissatisfied. From the same people who made Restaurant Empire, which I love, I was happy to see they'd done other games. The game is not perfect, and I can see why some people might not like it, but I do enjoy it and I think it is worth a better score than what it has gotten so far.

The scenarios are usually interesting and do get progressively more challenging, especially after the tutorial levels. However, it does allow a much closer view of the animals and people than in Zoo Tycoon 1, and when an animal is unhappy it is usually more specific about its needs than in Zoo Tycoon 2. Overall, it is not quite up to the quality of Zoo Tycoon (I have versions 1 and 2 of Z.T.). Managing money can be a challenge (not necessarily a bad thing), as you not only have to watch your current balance, but also be aware of what you are spending on monthly expenses like staff salaries and research expenses, or you can find yourself in the red at the end of the month when you have to pay up. There is a reasonable (though not huge) variety of animals, objects, and guest items to choose from. The people are not very realistic-looking, too cartoonish and too many people that all look the same. The graphics are okay, in fact I think the graphics are rather cute, especially the animals and objects.

Also at the end of each month, a monthly summary window comes up which can get annoying as it always interrupts whatever I'm doing at the time. The messages get to be a nuisance, always telling me that my animals and guests are happy - I would rather just know when they are not happy. There are a few annoying features of the game. I try to put most of the trees and bushes and things around the edge of the enclosure out of the way, and the water in the middle where it is easy for the animal to get to it.

However, I have since found that giving them a larger and less cluttered enclosure usually keeps this from happening. One other problem that might be a glitch was that initially when I started playing, animals would starve or die of thirst even though food and water were available. Keepers sometimes won't feed the animals until I assign them the task of doing it, though this isn't a huge problem as long as I pay attention to my messages and to my animals' happiness levels, and assign a keeper to feed them as soon as I see that one is very hungry. The main problem I've had is that sometimes the workers won't work, especially the maintenance workers, who tend to stand around doing nothing even though I'm getting messages that "items are damaged or broken" - and no way to do the work myself. I haven't had any trouble with my scenarios not being saved, maybe that is a glitch that was fixed in the version I got. Not the quality of Zoo Tycoon, but not bad Really not a bad game, though I see it has gotten some bad reviews.
