THQ. (Released October 26, 2009). World of Zoo. Nintendo. Rated: E for Everyone
· Plot Summary
As an acting zookeeper, players can create and customize over fifty forms of animals and environments to make their own zoo. Animal creations are not limited to the varieties we know, however, and species can be mixed in with one another to make creatures worthy of investigation by a cryptozoologist.
· Critical Evaluation
A colorful, and challenging game, with two different points of view: zoo and habitat. With zoo view, players can see the entire property: the habitats, main building, nursery, etc. In habitat view, you can take care of your animals, decorate their habitats, and take inventory of your possessions.
· Reader’s Annotation
Some violence, and while it is rated for everyone to play, combining species requires considerable skill.
