Despite a few gameplay and control blemishes, the $30 price tag and lots of content in Ultimate Animal Collection should satisfy fans of management games. This expanded edition features all of the previously released content, updated with better visuals and the same family-friendly vibe, in hopes of further expanding the Xbox One X Enhanced games program. The title must have done well with audiences, as Microsoft has now re-launched the game in time for the Xbox One X and Windows 10 as Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection. It also featured Kinect integration for interaction with some of the critters. As the name might imply, the game put players in charge of running a zoo as a manager, looking after the animals, the park itself, the finances, and so on.
One such title was Zoo Tycoon, launched in 2013 for both Xbox One and Xbox 360. That hasn't stopped various studios from trying though, even if it means mixing things up with other elements. For the most part, the somewhat awkward and restrictive nature of a controller prevents titles in this genre from really establishing a foothold.
Strategy games aren't typically well-adapted to consoles.
