I tried to like this game. I really did. One of my all-time favorite games was the underrated Tetrisphere on the N64. My friend and I would sit there for hours playing the darn thing, day after day, week after week. It has the perfect learning curve. The game kept getting harder and harder and you really had to put a lot of effort into the later levels, but you prevailed in the end if you tried hard enough and developed a good strategy. One more important thing...it was FUN! This game, on the other hand, is too repetitive to be fun for very long. "Zoocube" is honestly quite enjoyable for about the first 6-8 hours of gameplay you put into it. Matching up identical animal shapes on a cube probably doesn't sound like much but you're always trying to get better and advance to the next level. It can be interesting in a certain sort of obsessive way for a while. The problem is...it is extremely difficult. I'm an experienced gamer of over 20 years and it took me an eternity to beat the game on the easiest setting. Sure...there's a feeling of accomplishment after that, but you realize that you hardly enjoyed the game while you were playing. There are seven levels you have to proceed through...one for each of the world's oceans. Beating those levels unlocks an eighth bonus level (Gulf of Mexico). Other than checking that bonus area out, the replay factor is almost nothing. Unfortunately, some game developers believe that if they make their game extremely difficult then the replay value will be high because you will never be done with it. Perhaps there are people out there who really enjoy that. I don't. You can play the game on 7 different speed settings but unless you're superhuman, the higher settings are all but impossible to get through. Ultimately, the frustration factor is high with this game and you will probably end up becoming disgusted with it. That just isn't fun. I would recommend renting it if you can find it. However, unless you are a die hard puzzle fanatic, don't waste your money buying it. You'll likely give up trying to get past the outrageously difficult and boring levels and your game will just sit around collecting dust.
