This is the best game to just unwind to. I originally bought it, many years ago because it was a puzzle game. I had no idea how addicting or how much fun it would be. I am glad to see on here that there is a wireless control because I've been craving that since I can now play Zoocube on the Wii. And once you are able to go wireless it seems a bit archaic to have to plug in a wired remote.
This game is addicting. I am a casual gamer and this is probably the only game I can play for hours on end and be only quit because I figure I've been playing video games much too long. I literally have to make myself stop. Games like these can totally take my focus off the world and whatever stresses and just relax. It really is helpful to unwind. Sure, some people like shooter games to unwind but I bore of most of those games pretty quickly. I like something straightforward, that requires thinking and quick skills. This game is that.
The game is the same game over and over, it just moves faster and you get more reward as the levels go on. If you don't like single mission games you might not care for this. Think Tetris with a different twist and you've got the elements of Zoocube. Great fun and even now with all my fancy Wii games, this still holds as a long-standing favorite.

This is a good puzzle title. best for those interested in trying something new and wacky. The noises get very annoying quickly but all and all this is a solid family title. But the gameplay may be too much for the very young.

I found this game to be challenging but I got all the way to beating the entire game and then the program hit a glitch not allowing me to save the last part of my progress. I thought maybe the Gamecube was at fault but I got to the same point over and over again with beating the game and the same glitch - cube would freeze up. Then I thought I had a bad copy of Zoo Cube so I bought a brand new one and the same thing happens. Nothing like this has ever happened with my other 15+ Gamecube games. Too bad.... this is old fashioned fun, not a lot of thought required. Having good periferal vision is a plus!

I see that some people didn't appreciate this game. This really is a good puzzle game, regardless of the fact that this and Tetris Worlds are virtually the only puzzle games on the gamecube (I own both). Don't let the animal aspect fool you by appearing childish. I personally enjoyed this game a lot and have wasted a lot of time playing it. I think it is fun, addictive, and creative in its own way. If you enjoy puzzle games (I personally think they are the best genre of games available) then you should definitely add this one to your gamecube collection. Allow me to list for you a couple of my favorite puzzle games, if you like the same ones I like, then you would probably like ZooCube as well. The best ever puzzle game created is Tetris, there is no equal - none! A couple other great puzzle games in my opinion are Wetrix for N64, Tetris 2 for SNES and Fire and Ice for NES (although not readily available, if you look hard enough you can find it). As far as graphics, sound, etc go for ZooCube, everything is good. The graphics are good (remember it's a puzzle game), the soundtrack is addicting and matches the mood of the game (it changes by what level you are in, which is actually what region you are in. e.g. Arabia, Mediterranean, Antarctica, etc). The controls are a little bit weird at first because it's in three dimensions, but, you should quickly adapt to them. Overall, I would give ZooCube somewhere between 4 and 5 stars, but, I will round up becuase its one of two puzzle games for gamecube.

I love puzzle games, and I've had many puzzle-oriented addictions over the years (Tetris Attack, Snood, Bejeweled, and so forth). ZooCube is unique and rather entertaining, but it does have its shortcomings that keep me from giving it anything more than 3 stars. While the gameplay is quite satisfying, ZooCube is not without its flaws. The in-game menus are rather cheezy, the cut scenes are total garbage (especially the "game over" scene, which doesn't even have the audio properly sync'd to the animation!), and the so-called plot adds absolutely nothing to the game. Tetris didn't need a plot, and ZooCube doesn't need one either.
If you can get past the amateurish production values and the silly storyline, you'll find a fun and challenging game that will suck up a fair amount of your time. One tip, though - rent this one before you buy, and see if this style of puzzle game is for you. It won't appeal to everyone, but those who like it will find it very hard to put down.
