Wildlife Park

Saw this game pop up on Facebook, clicked through to check it out, and yep—instant buy as birthday gift for me. I've always loved Zoo Tycoon and pretty much any tycoon game; that's what I grew up playing. When i did loaded it up, i got immediately blasted with super loud menu music—nearly jumped out of my seat. Wasn't expecting that welcome party, but what you expect from old games from the 2000's but all in all Graphics aren't top-tier, but they're fine and I have no complaints there. The only real issues I've run into are that you can't reliably Alt-Tab out without problems, and when I tried picking up animals from the delivery crate to place them, the screen completely freaked out—full-on glitching and spazzing like crazy. Other than that, it's a solid game. but I'm hoping to get my daughter into it too, since the new computers don't have CD drives anymore and the original Zoo Tycoon games are basically impossible to find in proper digital form these days, unless you can get CD drive in. but Fingers crossed she'll enjoy it, and maybe one day the classics will show up properly on Steam or somewhere.

Pretty good.

This game has been sitting unplayed in my library for forever so I thought that I'd at least see if it works. And it does baseline work, even though I have a brand new PC and everything. Though as is usually the case with games this age, it's just a little bit glitchy - the command to increase the work area of an employee was flat out not working, pretty sure that wasn't user error. Also the interface is just... not good. Ultimately I can't recommend it just because there are so many games without these hassles, but if you're want it for nostalgia purposes and are worried about it not working at all, I can tell you it worked for me.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU EXPECT SOMETHING OUT OF THIS WORLD! Recommended for those who love the nostalgia feel of the good old zoo games. Yes the graphics are bad, no it doesn't work as good as modern games. It is very much playable though. I completed all achievements after 100 hours of gameplay, because i felt the need to after playing this game so much when i was a little kid. Little Tip: If you wanna go for completionist as well, the game crashes when you try to tab out of it. Turn fullscreen off and put it at 800x600 resolution. This way you can do other things on your pc while waiting for the visitor or money achievement without it crashing.

I played this game a lot as a kid. It's an oldy but still has some charm. If you like older sand box/management sims it's worth a go.

Got this ages ago cause I wanted it to scratch that "zoo tycoon" itch. But it really doesn't The game is barely playable, from what I have been reading its because the steam version butchered it. Do not waste your money on this please
