I recently recieved this game and I must say I'm disappointed. I really think that the graphics quality went down by going to 3D. I enjoyed the first Zoo Tycoon no end and I felt like this was a let-down. Still, there are some wonderful things about this version. Now you can create waterfalls, and you don't have to pay for terrain changes. (Thank Goodness!) Also, the photo safari mode is a lot of fun. I think there are less animals, but all of the old favorites are still there plus some great new additions. The animals have more actions they can do and more toys they can play with. Well, maybe I'm not so disappointed. This game is still a lot of fun, but just in a different way.
I have Zoo Tycoon 1 Complete Collection that I've played over and over. I really like that game; but once part 2 came out, I had to check it out. I asked for it for Christmas last year, but ended up getting the expansion pack: Endangered Species instead of the main game. ( my mother knows nothing about games) :)I finally managed to get it on ebay and have played it for hours on end. I really like the different views that are available, and I especially like that you can go into an exhibit and take care of the animals yourself. It makes perfect sense since sometimes the zookeepers don't do what you want them to. I enjoy unlocking different decorative items, as well as guest items like restaurants, rides, and snack stands. It adds variety that wasn't available in part 1. I can't wait to get all the expansion packs for it. I'm looking forward to taking a tour in the jeep.Read full review
Well its a very addicting game, and well its extremely fun! The way you can make your zoo, and have issues with the money, and hire staff members, plus the zoo keeper mode gives you a eye's view of what you could see in real life, the only thing I dont like is when your done, well your done, you've become a zoo tycoon, and then what? Nothing else happens but other than the finish the game is great, it will keep you entertained for a while!
My daughter couldn't wait to get this game and it has lived up to her expectations. She has built several different kinds of zoos in different climates. As you play, you have the freedom to be creative as well as practice the art of running a good business. I think it's a great learning tool for life. We also purchased Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania to go with this game. It is an expansion pack that allows the players to build marine environments, develop marine shows and learn more about marine animals in general. I love that both games give advice on the proper habitats, enrichment games, food and shelters for the animals. It really has been well developed. And the graphics are great. There are a lot of really cool features included with the game as well! I would definitely say that this was a great buy!Read full review
I bought this game when it first came out, never played first one, and loved this game. I later bought the Endangered Species expansion pack, and after a while of playing the game it began to become scratched and worn out. I simply had to buy another one, and now that I haven't played the game for a few years I'm very excited to recieve it in the mail. This game is awesome, I love making photo albums of all my animals, and I love the sandbox mode, along with the regular mode. Endangered Species also contains many new animals and features, and I would reccomend getting that to add onto this.
