In World of Zoo, players care for and play with the animals they create to live within their own virtual zoo. Every animal can have its appearance edited -- colors, patterns, tails, noses, paws, manes, etc. -- to suit the player's whim. As the zookeeper, players will feed the animals, clean them, play with them, and clean up after them. Keeping the animals happy earns the player stars, which he or she can use to "buy" more animals or build fancy play areas within the animal habitats.

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.
Nintendojo writes: "Some companies approach the virtual pet simulator with an intention to create a new experience, something that has not been done before, or something that enriches the very life of the player playing the game. 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."
