I bought Zoo Tycoon and the Expansion Pak for my sister this Christmas and she loves it ... but not more than I do. I consider myself an action and sports gamer yet, when I tried Zoo Tycoon, I couldn't stop playing. For anyone that loves SimCity, this is just as good if not better. The only problem I have with this game is that I have too much fun playing it which makes time fly for me.

My Experience with "Zoo Tycoon"

Having received this game as a gift for Xmas, I've spent QUITE a lot of time building, tweaking, and overseeing a couple of zoos, and very much enjoying it. It's a great game, very family-friendly, and can teach one much about animals. Kudos also for the new animals available from the website (...): I'm hoping we'll eventually see some extinct animals added as well as the extant ones not yet coded (after all, there's a Yeti now--can a unicorn be far behind?)

COMPLAINTS: Most animals look just fine, and the designers have made it a point to create graphics for different sexes (e.g. lion/lioness, moose/moosette). While in real life many animals are not visually distinctive as to sex, it would help game play if all those that ARE, were made so in the game (female ostriches are grey, and one might more easily tell at a glance why your pair is not breeding IF the females were depicted that way). In the same vein, most of the baby animals they've created are fine, but a few should be more than a scaled-down version of the adult graphic (e.g., bison calves should LOOK like calves, not like toy bison).

Trampled terrain is a major problem, which can be very difficult to find under heavy foliage! It makes animals unhappy, often your first indication that there IS trampled terrain in a given exhibit. It would be nice to have a tool for finding it more easily, OR (hint hint) some way to train those maintenance workers to take care of it themselves. Heck, I'd hire a specialist to do it, were s/he available...

WHAT I'VE LEARNED: Polar bears really, really hate giraffes.

A great game

This game is an extremely fun an addictive sim, yet doesn't contain any content that may seem offensive or innappropriate for anyone. It contains educational material, such as information about the animals you are buying and adopting, as well as financial education, with the monitoring of the income of your zoo. It is very realistic, with how many options it has. You may adopt just about the same range of different animals that a real zoo may, and the exhibits can look like almost anything.

All in all, this game is perfect for anyone who loves sims, or realistic gaming experiences. It is purley strategy and will require strategic inteligence, as well as a love for this kind of game.

Zoo Tycoon Good, but not Great

Zoo Tycoon is a great game for strategy, but lacks a certain something. Sometimes the updates don't work and it isn't very realistic.

One of the best games o f the world

This game is really good! When I played a demo, I loved it, but when I played the real game I liked it a lot more! Zoo Tycoon is one of the best games in my opinion. Don't have one? What are you waiting for? Buy one and be sure that you aren't spending out your money!

Zoo Tycoon is AWESOME!!! I love to play it. I ordered it from amazon.com and couldn't wait to play it. I highly suggest it for kids who like to learn about animals. It's so much fun!

It's an ok game but it could be better

When i first got the game I thought it would be a lot of fun.
When I played it for a week it was still fun,then it started to get boring.I tried things like lowering the starting supply of money,using endangered animals,and freeing the animals.But it still was boring. So it's really up to you if you want to buy it
i'm not here to judge you and tell you what to do. :)

Pretty good!

I am really into tycoon games, and of the ones I own this one is definitely a cool one. I like the fact that you can put up fences and build your own custom environments for each animal. Although sometimes it does get hard to handle with keeping the grass from being trampled, that is part of the challenge! Another thing that I wish was added to this game was that you can get a Zookeeper to stay in just one exhibit. Unfortunately they walk around and sometimes the pens get "poo" in them, and the animals lack food. Those are the only two things that I have to complain about. Something good is you can start in a land with up to $500,000!!!! I like that a lot... I would recommend this game to people that like tycoon games and like to keep track of things for sure!

Zoo Tycoon is a lot of fun. I like the challenge of making the animals happy. It was hard to learn at first, but now I've got the hang of it. Leveling the ground is hard. The zoom function is limited. But overall I like it!
