Handheld
gamers can test their zoological and business acumen once again in the
popular Zoo Tycoon series' second DS outing. Industrious players are
invited to take on the Zoo Director Mode, where gamers manage all
aspects of a zoo's day-to-day operations in order to become a
financially successful entity. Those more architecturally inclined can
try their hand at Zoo Designer Mode, while gamers looking for a more
hands-on approach can use the new Zookeeper Mode to examine and care for
3D versions of animals. Zoo Tycoon 2 DS features an expanded lineup of
animals, environments, and concessions, and every mode makes use of the
touch screen and stylus. Players can also share and compare success
stories via multicard play.
