Pros: Excellent concept, fun to play.
Cons: Awkward controls, hard to get used to.

I have played both Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2 for pc. Both games were incredible.

I was somewhat disappointed with Zoo Tycoon DS.

The biggest complaint is, I wish the screens were flip-flopped. The game is set up so that you navigate the map with the controls, and the menu is on the touch screen. I would rather navigate the map with the touch screen, and the menu with the controls. The current set up is awkward, and difficult to get used to.

The awkwardness of the game is hard to overcome. I find it difficult to manage the controls and end up putting the game down in frustration.

The game play and content are true to the pc versions, so there is no complaint there.
