Zoo Tycoon is a ok game. You control a zoo and try to make it a good zoo. It is a lot like rollercoaster tycoon. The bad thing about it is it gets boring, It takes a long time to build up a zoo with a lot of animals. The grafics are ok but not the best. It is worth 15 dollars not 20. If you like rollercoaster tycoon you should maybe get it.
Devilishly addictive

My 8 yr. old son and myself are hooked! Design habitats, zoo layout, organize your staff, and make those donors happy! Keep the customers satisfied...that means the animals! Ornery giraffes and chippy chimps are definitely a no-no! PS - don't let that jaguar eat an antelope either, oh no!

Zoo Tycoon is a great game.If you like animals and want to take on the challenge of keeping wild animals happy then this may be the game for you!It is possible to let your animals lose and certain ones will attack your vistors!!This is probably not a good game for people who like action video games.After Zoo Tycoon,you can get the expansion pack Dino Digs where along with regular animals you raise dinosaurs too!In just an amount of days the release of Marine Mania will happen(this game is going to include lots of water(marine) animals and is the 2nd expansion pack).Its suppose to be really good,with see through water and the ability to train animals to put on shows for your guest but we'll see.Anyways Zoo Tycoon is a pretty great game that is only getting better!!
Great fun for everyone

This is a great game in which I have been playing on and off for a couple months. I love managing and making sure that everyone is happy. This isn't a game that you play for the first few days and then throw it in the corner. You feel abligated to the animals to come back. Great fun!
A Great Game! Worth every penny!

Hey everyone. I would just like to say that if you are thinking about purchasing a copy of Zoo Tycoon you are right in doing so!
It is most definetly as fun and entertaining as Roller Coaster Tycoon. It also gives you a learning experience with detailed descriptions of each animal; where they live, what they eat...etc. It has wonderfully detailed graphics and sounds.
You start out by picking your zoo and your budget. Then, you make appropriate excibits for the animals by choosing the terrain, foliage, and fence. You must also please the people. Afterall they are the ones who give you more money.
All in all, this game is excelent. It is worth every penny! Great for kids. Great for adults!
ZOO TYCOON LOOKS fABULOUS ! !

Ok, I just saw something about a game called ZOO TYCOON, and knew that amazon, which always has everything, would have it listed if there was such a game. Sure enough - here it is !! I am a THE SIMS and ROLLER COASTER TYCOON fan, and if you are, or have never played either believe me get ZOO TYCOON ! Even though I have not yet played it, I know its gonna rock ! Just imagine building your own zoo, and picking all the animals you want ! WOW ! I can not wait. I am in Canada, so I will probably have to wait longer to be able to have this game than people in the US. But I just want to say this looks like sooo much fun, and I would suggest to anyone and everyone to get it ASAP !
Mom,Dad, and Kids fight to use this one!

This game is awesome! My husband, daughter, and I fight over who gets to use this game. My daughter (11) has made the most unbelievable zoos. She even figured out how to get a triceratops for her zoo. It never gets boring!
Typical Game

The graphics are good but the guests aimlessly walk of the paths. If you put a maintenance worker on garbage he doesn't even sweep it up. Not very many animals. But a bunch of senaros. Really good cheats too.
SO FUN!

My daughter, age 8, and I just love to play this game together. She thinks its great to buy animals and create cage environments where her animals are so happy they even have babies. She laughs when all of mom's animals are getting sick or even escaping a poorly designed cage. This game is clever, easy to work without endless hours pouring over the manual, and just plain fun. And now my 8 year old knows you can't put a lion in a deciduous forest!!
