THQ has announced that its new IP, World of Zoo has shipped to retail stores across the US for the Wii, Nintendo DS and the PC. The game allows players to explore the zoo in new creative ways, and they can care for their favourite wild animals and create their own exhibits, all this while learning about the animals from fun facts provided by National Geographic.
“What truly sets World of Zoo apart is the incredible hands-on interactions you have with the world’s most amazing animals, combined with a variety of tools that lets players create and customize their own unique animals and zoo environments,” Randy Shoemaker, Vice President of global brand management at THQ exclaimed. “Players will discover their animal’s favorite foods, activities and behaviors, all the while learning interesting information about each one. The National Geographic fun facts are something that animal lovers of all ages will enjoy and parents will appreciate.”
World of Zoo has almost a hundred animals to tend to, and even features an Animal Creator feature with which players can create and customize an unlimited number of animals. Each animal has a unique personality and behaves differently, and players will have to earn the trust of their animal.
