I played the demo and taught it was fun because it was one of the few games that allows you to be the animal too. I bought the game and realized it wasn't really to my expectations. As you play along, you'll find the whole program getting slower and slower to the point you can't even click a thing! The more animals you add, the slower it gets. Furthermore, the game is a little silly. You won't be dealing with money, but with flowers and the animals hunger and thirst level drain really fast. They need to eat every 30 seconds and if they don't, they die. The movements aren't smooth, poor graphics (they have a blocky effect) and believe me, save your money and go buy Zoo Tycoon 2. I agree, this is probably the only game which is set in the "wild" but it ain't worth it. This game is really cheap and there aren't many animals available. Only zebras, lions, crocodiles, vultures, baboons, flamingos, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes,hyenas and spring hares. Only 11 animals! What happened to the gazelles, antelopes, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, buffaloes etc.?????????? DON'T BUY IT!
