The place where you really do get to prove yourself as one of the best zoo keepers in the world. It’s a great way to test the waters before jumping into the big campaign mode but due to zoo limit sizes, slightly lacks in overall depth and no matter which challenge you choose from around the world, most of the time your zoo will end up roughly like all the others.Īnd so we then move on to the main event, the campaign modes. You’ll need to think about what you are doing but in the end, everything you do accomplish will be done through your own decisions. It’s basically the same as the freeform mode but without the unlimited funds. Starting with a limited fund pot, the aim is to start up a new zoo and do with it what you will. Thankfully the freeform mode allows you the time to do this along with the photography of the many animals that you’ll no doubt adopt.Īfter that, any self respecting zoo keeper will probably try their hand at one of the many challenge modes on offer.

Some of these are a god damn pig to find and the chances of discovering them whilst under the strict time and cash restraints of the other game modes is near on impossible. I also found it as my go to point when searching for the hidden animal coins that are embedded into each of the animals enclosures. If something goes wrong, you can just delete and start again with little to no impediment. It’s also the place to be if you wish to experiment a little with the different animals, enclosures or entertainment areas. Giving you unlimited cash and the freedom to do with that cash whatever you like, it’s the best place to be for anyone who wants to throw the game on for five minutes, have a little play and then jump back out to something else. You won’t bother visiting this too often though even if a quick once over is always good for the soul!įreeform mode will probably be your next port of call after the tutorial. The tutorial option is where you’ll need to start, cutting your teeth and learning the controls and impacts each decision you make have on the game. From the start you are given four different game mode options and depending on your mood, three of them are just as good as the other.
