Adorable version of Jurassic Park. It satisfactorily scratched the simulation itch.
The campaign levels were a nice balance of challenge and how to play. After I finished the 14 campaign levels, I went for the challenge mode. That was more difficult than I imagined, but I'm glad it wasn't too simple. It allowed me to start my zoo from scratch.
Toward the end when you unlock everything and you're waiting for the achievement to pop, it's a drag. But at that point, I was personally getting burned out.
I enjoyed the two "skill" trees for unlocking content. From dino toys to food court perks, it keeps you motivated to play. You can spend your science points and hearts to unlock dinosaurs! But you can't buy the dinosaurs, you have to earn them by playing a mini digging game. I liked the mini game. It broke up the main bustle of watching the zoo. If you don't enjoy it, there is an option to auto dig.
There's HATS. You can buy or earn hats for your dinos to wear. They serve a purpose since each hat has stats and can boost your zoo's reputation. The game's art style is simple polygon shapes and bright colors but I loved that. It was fun to build and watch my dinosaurs play with toys. I only wish the zoo guests would be smart enough to explore the back end of the zoo instead of me relying on an info booth.
