Over in LA, Frontier Developments have just shown the latest trailer for their upcoming menagerie- em-up Planet Zoo, as well as setting a launch date for November 5th – and it s looking very powerful indeed.
I ll be straightforward with you here: with the exception of the extremely relaxing Megaquarium, I ve always been disappointed by zoo games. And that s not because I m not into the concept. I spent a good slice of my childhood making zoos for toy animals out of tupperware and wooden blocks, and more of my teens than is normal drawing designs for reptile houses on graph paper. I even worked in a couple of zoos (although that s a story for another time), and I ve been to loads of the good ones.
