Zoo Paradise offers Facebook gamers the chance to build their own zoos and take care of all the different animals inside. When you're ready to try out your hand at running a large zoo, Zoo Paradise will give you the chance. Gamers that love zoo or animal games will want to give this social game on Facebook a try, as it is one of the best out there. Here's the low down on this great little game:

Goal: While the main goal is to level up your zoo, just like in all of the Facebook games out there, there are some smaller goals that you'll accomplish along the way. One thing that does drag the score down in this area is that there is not an area of the interface for smaller goals or trophies, like in other animal games. If this were in Zoo Paradise, it would get a much higher score for it's overall goals. Right now, it gets a 6 out of 10.

Game Play: Zoo Paradise offers some unique game play in the fact that you get to design and run your own zoo. Yes, it is a lot like Zoo World, but this game is a bit different in a few ways. For example, you can purchase different habitats for your animals and then place the animals where you want them to go. So you can easily purchase one habitat and then several of one type of animal to go there. Or you can have several of one habitat and then several different animals in them. You are in charge of the layout of your zoo as well, which means that you can space your animals out, or put them close together for some company. And, you get the opportunity to place in some decorations, concession stands, restrooms, and other goodies along the way. Another aspect to the game play in Zoo Paradise is the fact that you have to feed your animals. Each animal has a different feeding time, and you'll have to keep an eye on them so that they don't starve or die. The animals are also interactive, as you have to sometimes shush them when they are too loud.

Of course, you still have the social aspect to Zoo Paradise. You'll be able to add neighbors and visit their zoos for extra experience and coins. And, they can visit your zoo as well. This is a great way to help level yourself and gain some extra coins - so you'll want lots of neighbors. Overall, while the game play is similar to Zoo World, it's still different enough to make gamers love this animal game. If you haven't tried it, you will want to. The overall game play gets a solid 9 out of 10.

Graphics: This is an area of Zoo Paradise that is absolutely great. You can zoom in or out of your zoo, and the habitats are all extremely detailed and cute. The animals also change between male and female with slight color differences, so this is really cute as well. And, the people that visit your zoo are all detailed and cute - waddling around, telling you what they want to see in your zoo. Everything in Zoo Paradise is extremely well done, and any fan of zoo games will absolutely love this one as the animals are all pretty realistic. Overall the graphics get a 9 out of 10 in Zoo Paradise.

Sound: The sounds are really well done. You'll hear all of your different animals calling, barking, hissing, and so on. It's really fun to listen to the sounds while you're playing. But the music gets a bit annoying after a while - so it's a good thing that you can turn it off. Overall the sounds and music get a 7 out of 10.

Special Items: Here is one area of the game that also gets high ratings, as there are tons of great special items that you can purchase throughout the game. These include expansions of your zoo, special animals, and tons of great decorations. The good thing is that they aren't too expensive. The same goes with the normal items as well, and beginners to the game will love the fact that you can purchase tons of items and decorations for your zoo. This part of Zoo Paradise gets a 10 out of 10.

There is enough to this little game that it will keep gamers happy for a long time.
