Gourmania 3: Zoo Zoom

The third installment of Gourmania series by Alawar Entertainment represents a unique project which is an unusual combination of Time Management and Hidden Object genres. This namely makes the game so attractive and provokes interest with the most curious players.

However, the sure idea to combine these two categories does not correspond with the idea of the storyline. The story behind Gourmania 3: Zoo Zoom is rather poor and is hardly believable. The blonde in pink is the protagonist. Her father doesn’t want her to inherit all of his belongings because of her laziness and squander. But Victoria decides to prove that she is worth father’s trusting and gets down to the family business establishment. Besides, two kinds of business, which go to Victoria’s hands, are quite absurd to blend: a restaurant and a zoo. What’s the connection? Such more than a strange plot can hardly interest the gamers.

On the other hand, the gameplay is addicting due to the main idea described above. At first you look for the hidden ingredients and then use them in Time Management part of the game. So, the gameplay is creatively divided between the mini-games of the two different categories. This lets you deal with the clients and foods in a timed manner searching for items in the overloaded restaurant locations at the same time. You will surely like the gameplay composition due to this unexpected mixture.

Gourmania 3: Zoo Zoom design fills the bill of all the gamers concerning both the graphics and sounding. Hidden Object scenes are of the greatest quality. All the details are very well drawn, and the backgrounds in general are quite eye-catching and colorful.

Summarizing, Gourmania 3: Zoo Zoom is worth playing if you are not very exacting to the storyline, but are interested mostly in the gaming process. And conversely, if you pin your hopes on the plot, you will probably dislike the game.
