This is a very poor knock-off of Roller Coaster Tycoon (some of the details of game play are so close, in fact, it makes me wonder...), except that the close-up graphics are terrible, and it's very boring. It also takes too much time to get a "ride" up and running - by the time you do, your other animals will have died from neglect! Animal sounds are decent, but, overall, game sound is VERY boring - there needs to be more of it. It's really a shame, as the idea of this game has great potential. Yet, just another case of Microsoft trying to capitalize on someone elses success. In this case, they've failed terribly. Don't waste your money - I did.

It's good but not great.

GAMEPLAY 6.5:
Here's how it goes down. You choose the animal(s) you want to create. You choose the walls and make the pen. You put the animal(s) in the pen. Your read the zookeeper's instructions on what the animal(s) want(s) (such as water, trees, and rocks) then you do it. It may sound boring (especially how I put it), and it is, but you can still suck some fun out of it. The annimals can be rather boring (but the same goes for real life). The main thing you really need to do is make the zoo look pretty. This is more of a landscaping sim than a zoo building sim.
GRAPHICS 4.5:
The graphics are rather simple but they aren't terrible. Nothing great here.
SOUND 4.5:
The animals make the same sounds over and over whenever you click em'. It gets annoying fast. The best part of the sound is probably the opening song (which isn't that great).
REPLAY VALUE 4:
After you finish making a zoo with every animal you probably won't touch this game again for a while.

Zoo Tycoon: One of the best

Roller coaster tycoon... the best tycoon game yet. You can't deny that its legendary! There are so many "fly-on-the-wall" games in the spirit of them, that few stick out. Zoo Tycoon isn't a fly on the wall. More like an exotic butterfly on the wall. It is a great game. It is easy to learn how to use, and comes with a handy manual for the clueless. Animals and objects are available for you to purchase and take care of, ultimately creating your dream zoo. There are cheat codes out there for the lazy, though when beginning a free-form game, you can choose the map and how much money you want! Scenario games are available for those who are accustomed to RCT scenarios, too. Online, many more animals and such are available for download. Hire employees and attract guest with the birth of an endangered animal. Put a restaurant in too pamper your guests. Whatever. There are many things to do, and animals to take care of! It gets harder as the zoo gets bigger. However, this game will get boring for those who are impatient. Patience! If you wait, build, and get to know the game, you'll find that it is one of those tycoon games that turns out to be addictive.

This is the best game! Just see for yourself! I was supposed to type in some FAQ, but then something horrible happened! It got deleted! And i only had so much time. And it was very useful to you begginers but then it just deleted the 4-paragraph review! Plese forgive me! Ill put it in later.
And make sure to download APE for your game. I have it and i made a bunch of animals and objects on it.You'll be playing it for HOURS!! just like me. Check out Zoo Admin for people who are in LOVE this game!

This game is sooooo fun! I played it with my friend, and we played it for a relly long time. I reccomend it if u like animals, or if you have other "tycoon" games.

Not Much Creativity Invovled At All

Zoo Tycoon as a game is not very fun. The only part about it that might be fun is the fact that the game does not take much time and that it is very easy, especially if you have the strategy guide which is very helpful, but if you have don't expect to be using much brain power when playing this game. Overall I would give this game about a 71%. I'd recommend Roller Coaster Tycoon over this game any day. RTC is at least a bit challenging and some creativity is invovled with it.

A Must BUY!

This game is far better than all the other "Tycoon" games. The graphics are good, you dont need a supercomputer to run it, and it is well worth the money! Build zoos in locations all over the world, filled with animals from Penguins to Giant Elephants! Best part: set your animals free (if you want to) and let them terrorize your park, destroying building and even attacking people (if you like that sort of thing). Plenty of scenarios to play and new animals and parks can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. Recommended to everyone, best and most fun game!
