Pros Graphics aren't too bad and sound effects are good.
Cons It's not Zoo Tycoon. Gameplay is totally different.
Recommended it? No

Recommended it? Yes

Obviously you are reading this review because you MUST like RTS games and therefore are wondering if this RTS with only 2 sides is worth buying.
