If you’ve never heard of Zoo Tycoon before, it’s a series that began on PC in 2001 and it tasked you with building and maintaining a zoo, similar to games like Theme Park and the earlier Tycoon game, Rollercoaster Tycoon. And what kind of unfeeling monster doesn’t like zoos? Too often these park-building games focus on the management overview, forgetting that sometimes players might want to take in their creations from ground level.
In fact, the mere ability to run around your zoo as you created zookeeper is probably the smartest decision developer Blue Fang Games could have made when making a game like this. It’s hard not to smile while feeding or playing with the animals in this game.
