Darth: I have finished all campaign games and have a nice 5-star challenge in progress. So yes the game can be beaten.
But...
I still struggle with "optimizing" my zoos. Maxing out education and entertainment levels in the FAME window. Just the right layout. Grid? Funky shapes? Central guest area or several small ones?
So far my guess is that as soon as I start putting more than one animal in a compatible exhibit - such as a mongo safari exhibit - my education level starts to dip. No proof. Just seems pretty consistent.
Also - putting exhibits next to each other without any spaces separating them also seems to hurt my scores. When I played "Conservation" campaign with just 3 big and well separated exhibits - red panda, snow leopard, and... gorillas? - I totally maxed out education/entertainment. Hmmm. Wonder what that tells me.
This might be a good thread for exploring beyond the simple solutions.
1) What have you found to be an efficient and effective pattern for laying out your zoos?
2) What have you found works best to maximize education and entertainment scores?
