Gameplay
Sacramento Jungle has two modes: Story and Survival.

In Story mode, the player plays through missions centered around various animals and other beings. Eventually, the player will discover the truth behind humankind's disappearance. Poodles are key characters in the story, as well as a dylanus, leopard, water buffalo, striped hyena, hadrosaur, Elecmen.EXEs, and a pair of robotic cheetahs similar to Nasa's Robotic cheetah.

Plot
Humankind has vanished. A decade later, Sacramento's familiar landscape has become a home to beasts and others. A jungle. Pets have turned feral. Race horses have been freed from servitude. Wild animals have escaped from zoos and safari parks. Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals have escaped from prehistoric parks. Net-Navis, vampires, and other fictional characters and creatures have escaped from universal zoos. Let's take a look at this brave new world.

Custom creatures and beings
This game is also unique for having a feature were you can customize and create your own creature and/or beings. This feature is very similar to the creature creator in Spore games, although there is no limits on building how many body parts you can put on custom-made creatures and beings of any kind. You can access this feature in options menu of this game, and you can make them herbivorous or carnivorous (no matter what animal or being model you used), you can also give them any kind of size, strength, design, color, and speed (although the strength, size, and speed are limited to reduce the chance of the game crashing or glitching out). You can use body parts of all of the default and unlockable creatures and beings from this game, making any kind of unique species and beings. You can also change any body parts on your custom creatures and beings by changing their size, shape, color, etc. (for example, making Mettaton EX from Undertale by using a domestic dylanus model and used a native American's hair, Gutsman.EXE's cartoon-like gloves, Plantman.EXE's and Elecman.EXE's Armor, changing color to pink, silver, black, and white [exact coloration and pattern like the actual Mettaton EX], and make it carnivorous [since Mettoton EX is mainly a boss rather than protagonist])

Reception
Unlike Tokyo Jungle (which had negative reviews in most places), in which it is a sequel to, Sacramento Jungle recieved so many positive reviews in North America, as well as in Europe, but it had negative reviews in Japan due to the ridiculous settings, customizable creatures, and some creatures and beings that are immaginary. Despite this, the game is still successful compared to the previous game.
