I understand that modeling, animating, coding etc an individual species takes way more time in the current gaming generation's standards than for an early 2000s PC game, but even that considered I think much more could have been done, and their decisions at times are downright mind boggling. They really phoned it in with the species selection, IMO. I stopped playing the games after ZT2 but I've never shown any interest in this one for the reasons Loxodonta alluded to. If we just had a sequel to zoo tycoon including the graphics of this game, with the customization of the previous two, that would've made me happier than anything related to this. We have over 200 animal species in Ultimate Collection which is great, however, who asked for seven lions? Even worse, who wants nine agoutis? There is an incredible over-saturation of certain taxons of animals in this game, all while completely ignoring certain creatures that make up an modern zoo: canines, horses, gorillas, orangs, penguins, pinnipeds, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, cattle, pigs, wild goats and sheep, I could go on. My other complaint is the animal choices that they have. You cannot build your own exhibits, paths are connected automatically, there's a limited number of animal objects such as food and water and enrichment that can be placed in an enclosure and you cannot go into the enclosures like in zoo tycoon 2. My first annoyance with this game is the lack of customization that made the first two zoo tycoon games so much fun. The bulk of it lies in two very major flaws unique only to the xbox zoo tycoon. I have extremely mixed feelings about this game.
