GI.Biz writes: "Best known for its esteemed Zoo Tycoon games, this year Blue Fang has expanded the reach of its animal centric titles to iPhone with Lion Pride, and DS and Wii platforms with the THQ published World of Zoo.
GamesIndustry.biz spoke to Alex Chouls, the studio's creative director, and Scott Triolam, chief operating officer, about its hopes for the new World of Zoo, as well as the family console market as a whole and what Blue Fang is offering that market that not enough other developers currently are."
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.
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."
