Well, well, well... I finally got that beta, lets get down to it shall we? First off the game is as addicting as I hoped it would be, like many preview pages have stated the graphics work well, one function left out of most preview is that atleast on the beta there is an option to "Look for updates", I guess this for if they release new animals buildings or senarios. Some of the cool feature include a gift cart that you can place on teh side of your path's this is on my wishlist page but the person who sent it in will be happy to know the game does have a cart in it. You can also color the roofs of all your buildings to a pre choosen ammount on colors, I guess this would work great if you wanted to theme the park. You can also sell the animals you breed, so if you bred alot of lions you can sell most adult zoo bred lions for around 943 dollars, this helps alot when cash get's low. one thing I found amusing about this title is that the animals are very picky, It's hard to place Giraffes with Gazels and Zebra cause Giraffes like alot of foilagem as were zerbra are frightened by dense underbush, you can see the problem, this is easly cured by just making the cage bigger. I have a good cage 2 Giraffe's, 4 Zebra's, and 4 Gazel's, along with a Zebra baby just born named "Spot" :). Here are the system requirment's that was sent to me when I received the beta.
