Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Here is your chance to create a giant and beautiful zoo. A park so amazing, it would be impossible to build in real life. In Wildlife Park you must build an animal park from scratch, managing it so your visitors will spend their money. You begin with just the park area, a ticket booth, and some money. From there you can buy animals, build the zoo, hire employees, and then open the gates and let the visitors come.

Features:

• Choose a variety of terrains with different climates, environmental sounds, and music themes to start your park in. But be careful in your choices in climates and animals, as keeping a polar bear happy in the Sahara is an incredible challenge!
• No single goal to reach the finish of the game. The park has to be managed well to gain access to new areas, attractions, and more importantly, exotic animals
• 45 detailed, seamlessly animated and simulated species ranging from mammals and reptiles to birds and marine animals
• Fascinating, challenging, and realistic animal behavior in areas such as reproduction, socialization, aging, birth, aggression, and "trainability"
• Animals can be trained with a huge variety of interaction devices such as trampolines, ropes, slides, trees, and video screens
• No-limits landscaping at various heights, many plants, bridge constructions, ponds, rivers and waterfalls, and buildings
• 10 professions for your personnel to care for the animals and park: Feeder, Garbage, Zookeeper, Animal Catcher, Gardener, Scoutmaster, Vet, Worker, Animal Trainer, First-Aid
• Building architecture style differs by climate
• Transparent walls give visitors a better view of marine animals, allowing you to build underwater observation rooms

4.0 out of 5 stars Wildlife Park vs. Zoo Tycoon - WLP wins, April 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Wildlife Park (CD-ROM)

Wildlife Park belongs to the Tycoon kind fo games. The only other game out there covering both the same subject and genre is Zoo Tycoon by Microsoft. Having seen both, my preference is "Wildlife Park".

While comparable in many aspects WLP wins out: The graphics and especially the seamless animation give the whole environment a much more natural appearance. Building options like e.g. bridges provide more options to create YOUR park. Overall Wildlife Park offers more depth in interaction (animals with toys) and gameplay when it comes to managing the animals where social needs and the like make up the challenge of breeding offspring.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Game Is Very Nice, November 3, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Wildlife Park (CD-ROM)

First you place fences ( make sure that you made a big enough enclosure ) , then you place the animal home ( the place where the animal(s) live ) then you place feed ( make sure you hired an Animal Keeper to keep feed in it ) then water, toys, trees ( depending on the specie )
and when your animal feels comfortabble in its enclosure you will hire a vet(for the whole park) and a play mate if it is smart and intelligent. I will not get in to much detail on the visitors . Well this game wins with me!

I have played the free demo, but have not yet bought the game which I am going to do. But I was wondering if Wildlife Park: Wild Creatures only included the wolves. I quite enjoy this game. And think it has copied Zoo tycoon but I don't mind it.
