Pros: None
Cons: Bad Graphics
Boring Gameplay
Money System guarentees you'll be broke unless you stick to th tightest budget possible.
[It's just like] Roller Coaster Tycoon
Unecaseraly Hard
More furnishing animals cages and keeping them happy than running a zoo
Price is overdown this plays like [a]game out off a bargain box
With in 25% hour of playing it you'll start to loose intrest
THis game.....

....but the concept of running your own zoo fasinates me. I'm probably the only 23 yr. old that think this would be a cool game to play.
Big yawn.

While this game had an interesting concept, it falls short very quickly. I do consider this game to be the most boring one I have ever fallen prey into buying.
By the time I was finished with the tutorial, my time with it was done. I did go back in and try a couple scenarios and free play, just to see if I was too harsh - but I was not.
The game has almost no fun factor, and there is nothing to drive you to play. Building an exhibit takes far too long time, and I always just find myself asking the in-game zoo keeper's advice: "Too much sand, not enough dirt" after every change I make to the show. And if you want to try to create a multiple-animal habitat, forget it!
I think the only fun I really had was the first time I put a lion in the camel pen.
Good game

This game must be good. But it remdinds me on Roller Coaster Tycoon. It's the same way how to build. But I think the idea is great. So. Must be a good game.
Fun Fun Fun!

Zoo Tycoon is simply in one word FUN! I am a huge fan of sim building types of games but Zoo Tycoon is different. It is a wonderful concept of a game. I mean who doesn't love a good Zoo? I have personally recreated the Audobon Zoo in New Orleans among other custom zoos. This game runs smoothly even on my dad's slow Compaq system and runs absolutely amazing on my machine. I know that it might not be a crazy First Person Shooter game with a ton of gore, but watch out when your tigers escape and munch on your visitors. Quite simply put, this game is fun and will entertain for hour after hour for people of all ages. Trust me, I got my dad and my girlfriends mother to attempt the game and they were both hooked on the game for a couple of months. I readdicted my father with the Dinosaur Digs expansion pack and we still play. I have created one particular zoo that I am extremely proud of that is very glamorous and have possibly sold the idea to a major city in our fine USA. I have to keep that top secret as far as where it is...sorry. Anyway go out and buy the game, give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

I gave my husband zoo tycoon as a gift. He loves it. He has found many ways to get around the game and new animals to download, excellent.
Great for kids who like the computer
