"Are you still caught up in the craze of user-created content? Scratch that, I've got a better question. Are you still into management games like Zoo Tycoon? One more: are you still into life-simulation games? If your answer to all three questions is yes, you're going to want to keep your eye on THQ's World of Zoo."
Hardcore Gamer: The Bundle Stars have returned with a massive savings on sim and racing games. For $5, you can get Roller Coaster Rampage, RACE: The WTCC Game and its Caterham Expansion, PROFESSIONAL FARMER 2014, Air Conflicts Vietnam, Bridge Project, TOWTRUCK SIMULATOR 2015, World of Zoo, Pole Position 2014, Ride 'em Low, and the most exciting game yet - THE WAREHOUSE AND LOGITISTICS SIMULATOR.
Developer Blue Fang has traditionally done a great job balancing the cute with the realistic, as in their Zoo Tycoon series. World of Zoo is no disappointment, and is especially well tuned to the Wii audience, that is accustomed to a higher 'Toon quotient than gamers on other platforms. These aren't animals designed to portray the majesty and gravity of the animal world, these are animals that will make your toddlers squeal with delight and have your older children scrambling for play time.

Unfortunately, when it comes to World of Zoo, Blue Fang Games didn't. Instead the company went with the old standby of adding in as many thematically appropriate creatures as possible and hoping that quantity beats quality, which it doesn't."
