Video Game Reviews of Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo
Customer Review: Cute & Simple
Summary: 4 Stars
This game, besides it's colorfulness and cute characters, is a simple game that small children (and some old) will enjoy. The game requires no strategy, just exploring, discovering, and a certain amount of thought, depending on your age. Your goal in the game is to rescue baby animals that have spread to different parts of the zoo. Of course, you also have to complete a very easy task to get them within reach, such as throw down a rope, lure them, and things such as that. I think this game would most likely be a favorite of little ones, since most small children are fascinated by animals. Putt-Putt is a cute character, and in this game, you can paint him different colors! When I was younger, I used to have quite a bit of fun changing his color. But my personal favorite feature of the game is that once you buy a camera, you can take pictures of the animals! I loved playing photographer and taking pictures in each area I went to, then looking at all the pictures I'd taken in Putt-Putt's photo album. You can also print the pictures, which I've done a few times. I only wish that you could save, because when I was little, I got far on the game but had to turn it off, erasing all of my work.
Overall, I'd say this is a cute game that little ones will love! I can't guarentee older ones will, but I know Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is a very family-based game that I would gladly let my little ones play (if I actually had kids and wasn't one myself).
Customer Review: Great Game!
Summary: 4 Stars
My son just borrowed Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo from a friend. The game sends the player on an adventure through about 20 locations divided into three sections of the zoo. In each section, the player locates baby animals who require items found in other locations in the zoo to rescue them. While it may seem that so many locations would be difficult and time consuming for a young child to navigate, the layout is straightforward and each location has a distinctive look. My only complaint is that my 4.5 year old initally saved all of the animals with an hour. Unfortunately, the challenges do not change from game to game. You always find the same animal in the same location and use the same tools (found in the same locations) to rescue him/her. That said, my son still loves challenging himself to see how quickly he can get through it now and there are a few cute little hidden games within the game.
Customer Review: great fun for little game players

If your child has played beginning software like JumpStart and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help their friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play games as they complete the larger tasks.In Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, the overarching goal is to reuntie baby animals with their parents so that the zoo can open, but along the way he will perform a variety of smaller tasks. I would say that the best titles in this series are Putt-Putt Enters the Race and Putt-Putt Joins the Circus, but this one is very good too.
This is a fine game in a great series.
Customer Review: Putt-Putt is amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
On a whim, I picked up this CD for my 3 year-old grandson never having any idea what an amazing piece of programming it really is!He took to it like a fish to water, even solving problems that the grown-ups missed. Once he solved everything, I assumed that the fun would be over. Wrong! That just let him into another level which he immediately began solving. I have no idea how many levels have been included and won't know until he's solved them all.
Even the credits are pure entertainment. Don't miss them! And don't miss out on this incredible series. I've just now ordered every other Putt-Putt CD that's available through Amazon.
Customer Review: Another Winner!

My kids play this game in long stretches at a time! Tho not as good as Putt Putt Enters the Race, it is still a good one! Worth the money! These games teach the kids to think - but they think they are just playing a game and having fun! Press F1 key to get hints for the game. Enjoy!!
