Entertaining, educational, and a pleasure to behold, Zoo Tycoon is a must for animal-loving Xbox One families. Thanks to some smart voice commands that let you call up key pieces of information - such as which animals need attention and which buildings need repairs - on the map, you need never worry about getting stuck surfing around dull menus. So, too, is running around the zoo at street level, where you can make faces for monkeys to copy (thanks to the power of Xbox One's next-generation Kinect, which recognizes facial expressions) or drive around in one of the zoo carts.Įven the business simulation stuff is easy to understand and well integrated into the adventure. Building enclosures, outfitting them with interactive pavilions, and airlifting in animals to populate them is a ton of fun. Not only does it look terrific - the animals are so lifelike you'll want to reach into the game and pet them - it's also a blast to play. Zoo Tycoon is an unexpected gem among the initial crop of launch games for Xbox One (although it's also playable on Xbox 360). A cooperative online mode allows kids to play with up to three others to more quickly achieve goals. You may be required to create a new attraction to please bored guests, research and build a breeding center to help propagate a species, deliver items from the main gate to a concession, or just go take some pictures of your favorite animals for a nature magazine. Additionally, it adds a more-than-thin veneer of educational value by including write-ups on the dozens of animals available and mechanics that reward matching species with their appropriate environments. Then, kids are free either to start building the zoo of their dreams in the virtually unlimited free-form mode or begin taking on specially designed scenarios in the career mode, where they'll be given specific tasks and objectives. Zoo Tycoon takes the classic city-building strategy game gameplay and transplants it to the design and operation of private zoos. A series of comprehensive tutorials leads players through all facets of the simulation. Your aim is to look after the zoo, keeping it functional, clean, and profitable while also researching ways to expand it, adding new animals and attractions, and spending some quality time with the creatures in your care.
