Handy Games World of Zoo 49353 downloadable game

Zoo life simulator for PC

World of Zoo is a life simulation game that puts you in direct control of a customisable zoo. You create unlimited animals using the built-in Animal Creator and build hands-on relationships with over 40 species. The experience includes mini-games, achievements and National Geographic fact cards for each animal. Online features allow sharing of user-generated content.

Players wanting creative animal interaction

This title suits anyone who enjoys relaxed, creative gameplay focused on animal care and zoo design rather than deep management mechanics. Buyers who want a complex tycoon-style economy or modern high-fidelity graphics should look elsewhere. The game requires a Steam account and is only activatable in selected countries, so purchasers in blocked regions cannot use the code.

Requires DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 1.1

The deciding specification is the graphics requirement: a video card with at least 64 MB memory supporting Pixel Shader version 1.1 or better, such as a GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon x1600. Systems running Windows XP need 512 MB RAM while Vista requires 1 GB, plus 2 GB of hard-drive space and a display capable of 800x600 in 16-bit colour.
