Very good version of Zoo Tycoon for the DS. Obviously missing features and the graphics make a penguin three pixels, but for playing on the go it is great.

i dont think i ever played this game correctly
i remember wanting to just build a zoo and put animals everywhere but i was too dumb to figure out if there was some sort of freebuild or infinite money cheat or something so instead i'd tap all around the menus, get halfway through the tutorial, then give up
i think the only take away from this is that i probably wont find rollercoaster tycoon 2 fun (which is a shame, community support for that game looks sick)

didn’t stand a chance at topping the computer games, which have my whole heart, but i had a lot of fun with this! there is a lot of things to do, even though the gameplay is a bit more limited than the computer games 💗

real shit though had me playing for hundreds of hours

Honestly, the game isn't incredible. It doesn't have a ton to work with, it's very limited, and one could be forgiven for looking at the other zoo tycoon games and scoffing at the puny DS entry. What I find impressive about this game is how it fits it's platform so well. You see, the game is structured a bit strange. It's made up of a bunch of small scenarios where you'll have to build a zoo under different restraints. This might seem strange, as zoo tycoon is enjoyable because of it's progression, the rags-to-riches story. This is produced by gathering upgrades and seeing your zoo grow in size, profits,
Why this fits so well is that progression is distilled so that you can experience that progression on the go. The game is also very replayable, as you can build your own zoo under different conditions or restrictions, such as using specific animals. It's by no means a masterpiece, but it's built itself from the ground up to be an on the go, quick, yet satisfying game.
