Press

“If you're looking for a game that's fun, looks great, and is educational, then search no more! Rarely in the gaming industry can one find a game that is equally fun and educational, but Microsoft has a strong contender for first prize with this gem.” 
Game Daily

 

“ZT2 is definitely on track to be completely superior to its predecessor. I base this summation on watching my five-year old son fiddle around with the game. In no time flat he had waterfalls flowing, savannah grass waving, and penguins and lions hanging-out together.”
