December 10, 2004 - In-Fusio's relationship with Microsoft Game Studios bore entertaining fruit recently with the release of the very playable racing game, Midtown Madness 3 Mobile, based on the Xbox Live game. Now, In-Fusio is leveraging anohter of Microsoft's top game brands for a handset game: Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile.

Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile is loosely based on the recently released PC game of similar name. But it does have several in-game hooks to the PC version which are sure to pique the interest of the franchises multitude of fans. After completing some tasks in Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile, players receive game codes that can be pumped into the PC game to unlock exclusive bonus content.

The goal of Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile is to build and maintain a successful zoo venture by creating exciting animal exhibits. You can choose the type of terrain in each attraction as well as the type of animal. Success is assured not by just creating popular attractions, but making sure that guests remain safe from harm -- and that the animals are properly amused with objects like colorful balls.

There are two gameplay modes in Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile. The first mode is the tycoon game, where the bottom line is all that matters. (Well, and keeping animals happy.) The second mode is a photograph mini-game where you can take snapshots of your happy zoo crew and upload them to the internet.

Check out these new screens of Zoo Tycoon 2 Mobile, which is set to launch in the near future on Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS. In the meantime, though, may we suggest checking out Midtown Madness 3 Mobile as an example of the In-Fusio/Microsoft efforts?
