Alterbean7's Reviews; Now Reviewing: Zoo Tycoon 2 DS

Here I'll be doing reviews on different movies, tv shows, video games, etc.

I'll first be reviewing the game Wildlife Park 3.

Wildlife Park 3 is a nice game. The first two games were pretty good, especially the graphics of the second one, but this one has even more realistic graphics. The graphics are amazing, but a little bit cartoony I have to admit. What really annoys me about this game was the choice of animals. The game said that it would have African animals, marine animals and prehistoric animals. This makes you think that there are no expansions required and it has a broad selection of different animals to adopt. The only African animals were really basic, such as elephants, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, and lions. The selection of prehistoric animals was incredibly small. Just the woolly mammoth, elasmotherium, and smilodon. No dinosaurs at all. Then the worst selection was marine animals. There are literally no true marine animals, only the King penguin, the polar bear, and the sea lion, which are all semi-aquatic.

The interface is pretty easy and I like the idea of animals appearing for sale in the market at random times. Sometimes this is unfair though because it could take a long time for the animal you want to show up at the market. One thing I didn't like was that there isn't much interaction with the animals. Also, I didn't like the fact that you couldn't create the prehistoric animals unlike the first two games. You just buy them at the market as adults or juveniles.

The missions are very enjoyable but there is one thing about the maps that really annoy me. When you select a map and start, you build your park and then exit when you're done. Now you want to build a different park but on the same map. You go to the map selector and see that you now have the option to reset that map. You can't use the same map again without deleting the zoo that was first built there.

I like that they organized the animals by climate. There is Polar, Temperate, Subtropical, and Tropical. It was a bit strange that they decided to put Elasmotherium in subtropical, it would make more sense to go in temperate like the mammoth. What I love about this game is that it is so easy to modify and create new usermade animals. The reason why you can do this is the variation of animals in this game. There are different colored animals like the black mammoth and the white lion and they are somewhat considered as 'subspecies' of their normal counterparts. You can simply create your own 'subspecies' with a new name and the ini files for the animals can be easily manipulated using notepad.

Overall, it's a great game and I rate it 4/5 stars. :D

This concludes the review for Wildlife Park 3, see you next time with a new review!

*Faints*

I hope in the next update they'll consider adding Megatherium, Kelenken, Chalicotherium, Entelodon, Uintatherium, and Macrauchenia. I'd really like a snarling Entelodon or a rearing Megatherium for my trophy room in-game. :)
