I agree that this game is a bit fiddly on the ds, it does teach childen about animals but gets boring quite quickly.

We have this on the PC and absolutely love it. You have to run a zoo, keeping your guests happy and the animals happy and healthy. It had actually prompted an interest in animals from dd and she is a real boffin on habitats and the needs of animals.

I have tried the DS version and the screen is too small so it becomes more fiddly than fun.

I bought this game for my cousin at christmas. I played the game along with my cousin and we found it to be very addictive and time consuming. It is very fun to play and good value for money so I would buy it again for my friends and recommend it for anyone.

My 5 year old loves this game and it has really given him quite a startling knowledge of animals and preferred habitats. It's pretty easy to use and has random fun events like santa flying across the sky in his sleigh...

I loved this game on PC so tried a friend's on her DS. It was still good, but fiddly on such small screens - especially with so many different options buried in menus all squeezed on to the touch screen! I enjoyed it for a little while but got frustrated, so I shan't be splashing out for it.
