Just came back from the grand opening for Zootropsticle. Figured I should post a review of it, given the hype it's getting online.
Pros:
- The staff were very friendly and easy to approach.
- Chill Penguins were really awesome to watch.
- The "Spot the Wolves" attraction was quite enjoyable.
- Chill Penguins, yo.
- Letting the animals out of their cage and turning the place into a giant petting zoo was a great surprise.
- The search for the proper exit was difficult, but exhilarating all the same. I'm pretty proud of being one of the 17 people to find it.
Cons
- The lack of restrooms was really off-putting.
Overall, 4/10, really could have been better.
I wasn't so lucky, got thrown around by two tigers and a crocodile before I snuck out, but at least they didn't maul me...somehow. You know what, add that to the plusses.
One negative point really brings down the score...
the bears kept attacking me in particular, but none of the other animals touched me. I figured if they thought I was chill, hey would leave me alone, so I stuck with the penguins for a few hours before following some girl to the exit.
all in all, a fun time, but it would have been cooler if the animals fought each other.
Riley Robdrup why don't more zoos follow zooto...piscles's example
My Review
Pros:
- The food was great
- Nice tropical scenery
- The penguins were great
- Random game of hide and seek with the animals was fun
Cons:
- Not enough bathrooms
- The animals play hide and seek too rough
- I have been trapped here for 4 days because I can't find the exit
It would've been a 6/10 for me, but the penguins were so good that they hid me from the other animals during hide and seek, so now it's a 9/10 because the penguins added three points.
People not terrified that the Hippo is loose?
I've not seen such bravery!
haaaaaaaaaaaaa
ziddyT9 Cadiicaruuuuuus
IDK if it's a glitch, but the penguins will eat any animal (moose, tiger, hippo) that you place in an exhibit with them. It's hilarious that those little guys are apex predators in this game.
That's zoo tycoon 2 and even in zoo tycoon 2 it can't take down orcas and the tyrannosaurus rex
Another interesting thing I noticed was that when you'd let the animals free to attack people they would only attack the adult male guests lol
Unicorn Lady (formerly archiecook55) Because USER FRIENDLY™️!
This was pre-SJW era, so that's probably just a weird bug rather than a deliberate attempt to not end up creating what's publicly known as "that game where you can kill black women by unleashing tigers on them"
Actually it was a glitch but the developers left it in because they and many people found it funny.
It became so famous that in Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals they revived the Killer Penguins as a secret animal that you can get by failing the Extinct Research Lab's mini game.
Zoo Tycoon taught me about the struggles we go through to make pandas have babies
That makes me a saaaaaad panda
I'm now only referring to bathrooms as "pooperies"
Dragonfruit Jam same
I have mine as TO-LET
+Sara Song ...It's not your question that upsets me, it's that you ask it in the poop comment thread.
@Sora Song As long as you're a guy.
Papa's Pooperia
why is there no tycoon tycoon
Jared Leitch Good question.
Jared Leitch I'd play that.
Emiloo Rex Ditto.
There is a Video Game Tycoon in which you could, feasibly, make tycoon games.
a tycoon game where you make tycoon games that have tycoon games in them where you make tycoon games but the tycoon games you make make tycoon games that make zoo tycoons
But Ian, you have made a catastrophic mistake! I don't mean choosing to fight Matt Damon in a battle of wits and wealth, we all need a life goal to chase, after all...
...but how can you build a zoo without SMALL AMENITIES!? That is insane! Ilogical!
DJ THERE ARE ONLY 2 GENDERS Shanklestein xD
I refused the contract
Ian perfectly described what happens to Zoo Tycoon players after they get fed up with the continuous guest complaints.
"I'M NOT CRAZY"
Mars would've been a fitting starting point Ian
Oh my god it would have. But still ugly.
It would have made for a good resting place.
no.
nah, only one visitor. But at least one guarantied customer for 650 days
Rickstery I was thinking the exact same thing!
couldn't believe he didn't build it on mars just to stick it to matt damon
Lmao I had Fish Tycoon for the DS and it was actually fun. You owned a fish store and bred fish.
I always sold goldfish for $9,999,999 and it worked if you only had one fish for sale.
Heisenburgers so you beat the game with a one sale
Heisenburgers I literally installed it 2 days ago, I just came off it 5 mins ago, came onto RUclips, clicked a random moose video and saw this comment.
I never got that to work
Man that brought back good memories. It was always a fun, charming little game.
Makes sense. They are made of gold
8:03 "Nobody cares!"
*"AAAAAUGH!!"*
"Okay well _one_ guy cares."
Why did I laugh so freaking hard at that!?
The penguins were so chill because they were members.
They are the offspring of Senior's penguin
But they aren’t anymore, because CP shut down. No more chill for the penguins.
ProtogenViolet freaking global warming.
That's it, I'm getting myself a membership that's environmentally friendly
There is a party in my iggy
how is brutalmoose not blowing up with subscribers?!?! his humor and consistency is close to the best in gaming review channels. please guys share his name and videos as much as possible, been my favorite review videos for years
Morris 027 because most people reeeeally don't care about old computer games. because he only plays nostalgic games from his childhood he will never be popular.
Morris 027 Agree so much!! Ian humor has only been getting better an better!
Morris 027 I don't think brutalmoose seperates himself from being a RUclips reviewer. it's pretty standard
Ian/brutalmoose definitely deserves it! He has inspired my own reviews. He is consistently fun, and nostalgic!
I've been trying to spread the word about him, as unlike many other channels, he combines good writing/commentary, humor, and excellent editing. I have been inspired and I wish I could provide commentary on other media as well someday.
*sees Brutalmoose upload a Zoo Tycoon review*
*geeks out cause this is one of my childhood games and I still love it*
TooWeird *same*

Pretty much the first game I truly owned, as my grandmother got it for me when I was around 5 or 6. Still my number 5 favorite game of all time.
The coolest thing about Zoo Tycoon is all of the information they included about animals and their habitats. Plus it was cool learning what were the easiest and harder animals (gazelles and zebras you could put together for an easy first exhibit). Those "happy animal" sound effects were so addicting and the sad ones were just devastating. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, my animal friends!
Letting the animals out is even better in the dinosaur version.
Amen brotha!
the psychokinetic rock They'll eat everyone. It's hilarious
Yup, and remember that dinosuars are not the *ONLY* prehistoric animals you can let loose on zoo patrons. You can also sic Whooly Mamathos and Saber Tooth Tigers on them if you so choose.
Then it becomes Jurassic Park, the video game.
the psychokinetic rock I remember letting yetis and big foots loose. I dunno what version I had.
Matt Damon was also in Interstellar. He's in BOTH movies. AND he bought a zoo.
ARGUABLY more successful....
brutalmoose but does he have the chillest penguins?
Matt Damon is cornering the Astronaut Movie Market.
Ianterstellar.
He may be more successful, but you're WAY better looking, just check out that mane!
So you got him beat on that front.
Matt Damon was in Interstellar so he was DOUBLY rubbing it in your face
Interstellar
Ina
Ian
7:58 Speaking from personal experience, Kangaroos, particularly roos that are used to interacting with people, are pretty chill. They're basically hopping deer, as long as you don't antagonize it they kinda just sit there and vibe and happy to let you do the same. Obviously don't go up to a wild one or anything unless you're trained to handle them, but most roos are perfectly content to let you pet them and interact with them if they acclimatized to humans and live in quality enclosures (large open space, plenty of room to graze, regularly socialized, have access to enrichment activities). If a roo got out of its enclosure, it's not that big a deal but you would still need trained handlers to contain it.
Cute! Thanks for the information
One of the improvements in Zoo Tycoon 2 was the addition of I think it was called 'Zookeeper Mode'? I don't know its been YEARS since I last played it, but I do remember you could walk around your zoo in first person to either look at the animals, take pictures for an album and even take care of them. If you wanted a better view of your animals, Zoo Tycoon 2 is the way to go. But I kinda remember the graphics being weird... Maybe it was just me...
That sounds super cool! I'm going to have to look into that for sure, I want to walk around and experience my zoo.
Zoo Tycoon 2 did have a first person mode where you can take care of the animals, traverse the park and interact with the guests.
TucSonLepht2016 Cool. When he brought up his desire to see the exhibits, I started thinking "You know, why not have a first person mode so you can see the exhibits properly?"
brutalmoose Yes! Zoo Tycoon 2 was my childhood game
Yeah. You should review it someday.
Matt Damon was actually in interstellar
he was in terstellar
MAAAAAAATTTTT DAAAAMMOONNNNNNN
Jackson Jack Wait, Matt Damoon
+Jackson Jack KSI?
And he was the WORST
"Can't you poop at home!?"
no
Well, Ian, remember: Matt Damon doesn't have an online video game-themed review show.
*DEFEAT DAMON*
Jovanni Vallejo must defeat Damon...

Man, I can't wait for the new "Date of Geth" DLC for Mass Effect.
Ugh, probably had to cancel it, since Andromeda's not going so well.
Jesus, TWO GYROS? Theres some D4C shit goin on here...
Hmm, Or a sand alone dating sim for the Geth.
Nagol93 I would love that
I had the water and dino expansions and it's so fun!! The carnivores are impossible to keep happy and jeep from breaking the exhibits...but that's also fun. :3
I've missed these hilarious, madcap, surreal videos. I thought Ian was getting a little too serious and straightforward in his reviews lately, but this was a terrifying delight.
Can we make it a law that every commercial ever has Ian narrating it?
I think that needs to be a law.
Zootopia was a rip of of Zootropsticle.
When I was a little kid I was /obsessed/ with Zoo Tycoon 2.
"aren't hippopotamuses supposed to be aggressive? but no one cares!"
*"AHHHH!"*
"ok one guy cares"
actually me lol
Man this game is my all time favorite older pc games omg
tim oest hed let them run around and eat guests
This was my shit when I was a kid!!!!! I still remember naming the same exhibit Cretaceous Corral, Xanadu, and every other thing i could think of to unlock everything.
His thing about seeing the animals was actually kinda addressed in the expansion packs for the game. I have complete collection, and in it you can make it so you don't see trees, giving you an unobstructed view. Complete collection is great.
Damn Ian, that Club Penguin joke... Too soon...
+ brutalmoose Try impressing the pandas and snowleopards sometime... I shudder at the thought. You MUST keep going with every little thing until you get the one angry face and then immediately undo to get the happy face for every. single. thing. Rocks. Landscaping. Trees...
Also, Ian - try this: Name an exhibit (any exhibit) Xanadu. You'll get a surprise in the animals selection menu (assuming you don't know already. ;) )
By the by, been a fan for about 2 years now (found you through PBG and your HE reviews). Keep up the great, entertaining work!
Damn, what a coincidence. I was just playing Zoo Tycoon 2
I played both titles when i was a kid, and i think i liked the second one more
Disappointed Turtle The second game is bomb
I remember being scared shitless of entering the shark tanks in first person
Zoo tycoon 2 was amazing to me as a kid. The expansion packs and first person mode were the best part of it.
I say we should beg developers to make an HD remake of it with the first person mode included. Experiencing it with modern graphics would be amazing. Or maybe even VR in the future.
Sheepish people have created similar mods
Hey, Ian, are we *ever* going to get a Roller Coaster Tycoon review? Or is that one untouchable?
Probably! I've put it off so long mainly because of the pressure to make sure I do it justice in a video, but I bet I get around to it.
brutalmoose Thank you for the reply! Your videos are always super well-done, so no need to feel too much pressure. I'll be looking forward to it someday!
Great video dude!! Your Sunday uploads always make my weekends exponentially better.
Been watching your videos for a while. I really appreciate your style and the games you choose to review. you're extremely well spoken and really easy to listen to. keep it up my friend. trippy dreams ✌🏼
someone needs to show this to matt damon
I think a lot of the complaints about this one are solved in Zoo Tycoon 2
The platonic ideal of Maul Your Customers Simulators
Megal obsterFace except for guests and their neverending quest to get into exhibits. Or the fact they need about 3 restrooms/food stalls/trash cans/picnic benches per m2.
Guests would like a place to sit and eat!
Build playgrounds, statues, fountains, and kiosks to amuse guests!
Just buy restaurants. Solves the _"Guests would like somewhere to sit and eat"_ issue.
horse14t, thanks.
Yooo Moose, this vid brought me a lot of joy today and I think it's the best vid on utube tbh. ty
Lovin' the aesthetic of your videos these days.
I lost it at "we put in more crap chutes for you disgusting, disgusting people."
I LOVED Zoo Tycoon. But my fav was the one where you could like put dinosaurs and woolly mammoths in your zoo.
my zoos would go full jurassic park pretty quick, I'd pause the game, put all the people in the T-rex pen, lock the gate, and let it do its thing
The Zoo Tycoon games, alongside the expansions, were some of my favorite games as a kid. This was a really great review! I hope to review this myself one day, and I'm definitely gonna take a look at more of your other videos!
Your content and editing is so unique and quality!
I remember playing this game back in 2005 or 2006. I found it kind of boring when I first played it though. I played the sequel, Zoo Tycoon 2 often at that time. Thanks for the review! It does bring back memories.
zoo tycoon and fish tycoon were actually my favorite pc games growing up. I remember staying up late playing them on my moms computer and getting in trouble for it..>>
Was Fish Tycoon just an aquarium? I can't imagine what else it would be!
I think it was a fish store
no it was a aquarium
It's a game where you raise fish and sell them to try and discover magical fish breeds that save the enviornment or something like that. Havent played it in years. It's definitely not the best tycoon game, but it kept me entertained cuz I liked fish.
you're my favorite youtuber that makes this genre of videos and you deserve the world
I love when I find a new channel to just binge the fuck out of. I found your channel with brutal foods but I also love games so im so excited to watch your older content too.
I;m just confused why you didn't review the "Complete Collection". I mean you can have DINOSAURS and AQUARIUMS! ... Also Dragons.
Maybe I'll review the expansions some time! I just wanted to review the version I remembered, which was my original Zoo Tycoon disc.
brutalmoose the dinosaur expansion I would recommend reviewing it's like a while different game
DiceFTW273 yeah the dinosaur expansion is way more fun to let loose to terrorize the guests
"Did somebody say dinos?"
Unless you're referring to the komodo dragons, you can only get the flying ones from mods.
We need to crowdfund the expansion packs for Ian. They're awesome! You can have mermaids! And dinosaurs!
Orcas where I would completely remake SeaWorld and it was the best experience of my childhood
Just found this channel and its amazing! subscribed!
keep up the great work Ian!!
Good content, I always love watching your videos!!!
Zoo Tycoon and its expansions (Dinosaur Digs and Marine Mania) were always really fun and great.
Especially when you use the "cheat" function to unlock mythical animals by naming an exhibit a certain way and getting to put Unicorns in an exhibit.
Suigen Yukiouji and the mermaids when you put the mermaid statue in water!
Dat Girl's Generation clip though. Ian, you have good taste my man.
The best
Great video, Ian! keep up the good work.
Still one of my favorite games from back in the day. Also, if trees are a problem, one of the expansions gives you the option to turn foliage invisible, letting you actually see into the exhibits.
Its a party in my iggy. Ah, club penguin nostalgia.
I grew up on the sequel, Zoo Tycoon 2, which I still play now.
Yeah, me too, sadly my disk does not longer work, so I had to pirate a copy that doesnt have some text and cant save a-a'
@@madafaka2666 it’s 20 bucks on Amazon
this review hits me in good ways. your prison tycoon video is my favorite
I'm glad you went back to the old editing style with this one. I missed it so much! :D
You forgot about the 2 feet of water for Mary to drown in
I played this SO MUCH when I was a kid. Never got the chance to play 2 though... Wish they'd make a new one, on the PC anyway.
Letting your dinosaurs eat people in #2 is a lot of fun.
You can do that in the Dinosaur Digs expansion for the first game. Tons of fun doing that too lol.
Another smash hit video Moose; keep up the good work!
Ian!!! You are literally my fav RUclipsr right now. Your editing is hilarious. Thank you for the awesome content that never disappoints!!!! 💋💋💋💋💋
This guy is probably the best YTber. More guys should review late 90s/begin 2000s PC games. Also, Ian if you're seeing this, please review Thief 1 or 2.
i just died when Gee played... haven't heard that song in years. :')))
I was very giddy to see you do a video on this game finally! This game, well the complete zoo edition, was a HUGE part of my childhood outside of Neopets. I loved every single bit of this game and wish that it's sequel was as good. Though I enjoyed blocking off the entrance with a park of Dinosaurs and letting them loose upon the guests lol.
Moose makes my heart so happy
0:02 I could only imagine this guy saying "This is a Journey into Money. Loads of Money."
I loved this game! Along with the dinosaur and sea park add-on, I played this all the time. I actually enjoyed it more than the sequel. Man, I wish I still had it!
Dude I love your videos
I have been binge watching your videos. I love you so much. Hahahaha. You're great.
You should consider reviewing Simcity 4 one day
I never owned this game as a kid but there was always this one kid in my school who had it and all it's expansions.
But I had the original sims and all the expansions..
So that kid came over one day and we made a people zoo in the sims with his knowledge of Zoo Tycoon and my knowledge of homicidal 'Accidents' in the Sims.
man, at this point i think i've seen every single one of your dam vids. so funny. keep at it.
5:35 I love how you you literally opened up with my two favourite animals...
UserName checks out!
P4P checks out!!
Comment... checks out!!!
IAN! I HEARD GEE!!!
I'd say girlgroup, not band because they don't play the instruments!
I heard it too XDD
I RAN over as soon as I saw the tweet about this video
Really digging that Putt-Putt music at the end. Nice touch Moosey.
Nice! From what I remember, this game came as a pack in game (along with Encyclopedia Britannica CD-ROM 2002) with a NEC Versa M320 laptop I got some time in the early 2000s. Of course, I didn't know it was a free extra with my laptop back then because I was still very new to computers around that time. I was only 6 back then (in 2003).
4:42 "Zoo Empire" is a real game, and it does also have those smiley faces that come out of the animals. I remember finding a copy of that game in a cereal box around 10 years ago.
Hey Ian try zoo tycoon 2 it has a first person mode
I loved this game! I really loved the dinosaur digs expansion
I had the Aquarium and Dino expansion. The aquariums require a whole heck of a lot of upkeep (because of pumps) and having animal shows (orcas, dolphins, seals, etc.) is a pain to manage, but a fun challenge. And if you thought the base animals were picky, try to the Dino expansion. Those jackoffs are so ridiculously particular, and sometimes their wants randomly change. And the giant carnivores CONSTANTLY break out of their exhibits, even with the strongest fences in the packs, without a maintenance man keeping a constant eye on the fence status. Running a massive zoo in those packs is challenging, but crazy fun!!!
You know it's good shit when brutalmoose uplods. Great vid
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD IN COMPUTER CLASS WTH IAN HOW DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS
Extremely unrealistic, the penguins would only be chill if they had a waifu in their enclosure.
Bren7080 I get that reference
Oh god this video whipped me back to some unknown memory in my brain, I remember learning everything and drawing out the perfect place for each animal.
best intro in a long time, moose
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO REVIEW TRAILER PARK TYCOON, IAN
Weird. The game never crashed for me when I did the Gate of Death. *SHRUG* Its more fun with the dinos too. They eat the people.
i used to play this game all the time. i still even play zoo tycoon 2. its awesome to see you play it ian!
another great video, i love you!
But...what about the dinosaurs? And dolphins? ...AND MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAURS!!!!!!
Blackest Night Batman those we're the expansion packs
He explained that he only had the base game to review, the dolphins and dinosaurs were from expansion packs
I use to make an exhibit of humans. Food, bathroom, something for them to play with. Than anyone that I felt did not respect my zoo or animals would end up in there lol
How did I never do that? You could even make a human zoo for the animals to visit.
Quality video
Don't stop being awesome
Your videos are fantastic
