In my own reviews, I've only ever found one site that failed when zoomed to 200%. Whilst the content appeared visually fine, the site itself disabled the horizontal scrollbar on the page, so when zooming in, you were stuck with whatever content was onscreen with no (reliable) way of moving left or right.
