The title screen opens with a realistically-rendered baby elephant running through the logo and the animation is very good. Frontier spent two-and-a-half years researching animal behavior and it is absolutely time well spent. Having now had the chance to spend time with the title, I was blown away by the sheer amount of detail in this game. The trailer looked beautiful everyone was both excited and wanted to know where they could get their calloused hands on those poop vacuums. Because it’s such a specialized profession where everyone knows just about everyone, keepers form a close-knit group and I’d been hearing about Planet Zoo in the Facebook groups for months now. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals, from African elephants to poison dart frogs.
I’ve been an animal keeper at several small and medium-sized zoos across the United States since 2001, with three years off as a vet tech. What follows are the words of Meghan Bohn, my wife, an experienced keeper of animals small and large, smelly and cantankerous. Since she is a casual gamer, more Yoshi than Doom, she also took some time with the title and decided to share her thoughts. Of course, I listen to her, but playing the game helped me gain a new appreciation for the intricacies of her work. Playing Planet Zoo was quite the experience for this reviewer since I have the unique pleasure of being married to a bone fide zoo keeper that has been doing it for almost twenty years.
