Zoo Resort 3D (Nintendo 3DS, 2011)

Product Specs

Description

Zoo Resort 3D is a "tycoon"-style management strategy game, in which players aim to create happy homes for rare and exotic animals, while establishing and running a profitable tourist destination. Players lay out their park grounds to provide the distinct habitats required in each exhibit, while also insuring park visitors can get a good look at the each animal attraction. From regions all around the world, more than one hundred different species are available in the game, though many must be unlocked for play. The more rare animals the player can obtain and keep, the more visitors will come visit the park, helping to fund future exhibits. As each new species is unlocked for adoption, trivia and other interesting facts become available for browsing. Park management and maintenance are responsibilities of a successful zookeeper, as well, but Zoo Resort focuses on fun with the 3D virtual animals. An action-oriented mode has players wielding the 3DS like a video camera, with the handheld's internal gyro sensors picking up movement as the player pans and rotates around the on-screen animal subject. Capturing footage of cute tricks and other crowd-pleasing antics helps to boost the zoo's popularity.
