4.0 out of 5 stars Great on the DS, 24 April 2007
By Pangela "pangela" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Having read the other comments, I think there is a theme here.

I don't have the pc game, only the ds, and I love it. I think it is obviously going to be better on the pc, there is more memory, more processor power, etc. If you have the pc game, don't get this and expect it to be the same, treat it as a game in its own right.

I like it because it is fairly simple. I don't get on well with complicated games, I just want to have some fun with them. This is great, you pick it up quickly, and the tutorial scenarios are really good. They are a challenge, and in a way more fun than doing you own thing, because you have to do things in a certain way, or work with what you are given.

I love it, and I would recommend it to anyone, but like I said, don't expect the same as on the pc. It is different, so enjoy it for what it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like the PC game, 1 Dec 2005
By Ms. R. BAXTER "rachbaxter" (Wakefield, West Yorkshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had this game for the PC when it first came out and loved it, and the DS version is extremely similar. Highly addictive and fun to play, it offers a range of challenges which do genuinely get harder. I also like the animal cards you can collect during scenarios, which are colourful and informative. Graphics are good but animals are quite small and sound is limited. Also limited use of the DS features, such as microphone. Overall a good game that is value for money and offers hours of gameplay. If you liked the PC version, get this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent conversion of PC classic, 1 Jun 2007
By Jastan (Gravesend, Kent) - See all my reviews
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Despite what some may say, this is quite a good conversion taking into consideration the limitations of the DS compared to a PC!

The graphics will be worse and you can only save/work on one zoo at a time. But the game does make reasonable use of the stylus in the same way as you would use the mouse on the PC.

The basic object of the game is the same, i.e. starting with a piece of land you are tasked to build exibits compatable with the various animals available to you. Also provide zoo visitors with all the facilities they require (toilets, resturants, seating, stalls etc). Eventually completing all the requirements of the zoo, you will get the opportunity to either continue with that zoo or start a new scenario.

Overall, a good handheld version and worth a look..But please remember it's a DS not PC game you're playing.
