The game is entertaining for about a day and a half, but quickly looses it's charm.

It's not that the game is annoying, or that the graphics are bad, but this game simply isn't fun. The management is easy. It doesn't do anything to seperate itself from the PC version. It's basically a 'Zoo Tycoon Handheld' game.

I originally bought the game because I saw my baby cousin playing it on her own DS. I thought "Great, Zoo Tycoon for DS". I was never really able to play it because I owned an apple, but I played Zoo Tycoon on my friend's PC all the time. So I put my money together and bought the game. It was fun at first, but I soon saw it's limitations. At first, I was willing to look over that issue, but soon found it impossible because it was simply 'less' of a game. There was nothing new. Nothing that was different enough from the original to let me enjoy the game.

My other issue is with the blatant difficulty of the game. It's way, way too easy. If they had made the game really hard, I may have actually enjoyed the game, but I found myself bored after a day and a half of playing. I tried getting into it once in a while afterwords, but it didn't contain the magic of the PC version. There was just no heart.
