This is the best computer game I have ever played. If you are a fan of strategy games then you will love this game. If not then I'm sure you will be after playing this game.

I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Sim City or any games similar to that. The best things about this game are some of the little details. I was thrilled when some of my animals started having babies! It was also cool to see the great variety of animals and props I could get for my zoo. You get to creat everything in your zoo from the types of trees that are around to the kind of sidewalk that makes up the path. You can also build your zoo in different settings like the moon or Mars. It's great for kids, too!
The best zoo I've ever been to...

There are plenty of scenarios to keep you busy for a while, but having completed all of those, I'm having the most fun in sandbox mode, creating fantasy zoos.
Be forewarned, however--having provided a home for all of these magnificent animals, you must devote yourself to their continued happiness. If you don't, they will let you know. Some of them will express their displeasure by attacking your guests, which has quite an effect on the overall mood, which directly relates to your profits.
There are tons of cheats on the internet for this game. Of course, I know you would never use them in the scenarios, but a couple hundred thousand extra bucks >:. come in real handy when constructing the zoo of your dreams.
I eagerly await the dinosaur expansion for this game, available sometime in Summer 2002.
Very Addictive

Zoo Tycoon is very similar to Roller Coaster Tycoon. It is a lot of fun with many different types of terrains to start from. You can even download a Yeti. If you enjoy any of the Tycoon games, you will love this one.

Probably one of the best games that I have used, is Microsoft Zoo Tycoon.
The features are excellent, program interface is easy and self explanatory, and plenty of fun!
As with every new game, there are certainly a few "bugs" to iron out, but that shouldn't stop anyone from buying this game. Seems like it is a lot better than some of those other "tycoon" games I have heard about...If you're looking for hours (or days!) of fun, buy this game!
Good-natured fun

I am totally hooked on Zoo Tycoon - it's intuitive, easy to learn, and loads of fun. The animal graphics are adorable - I love to watch my kangaroos hop around and my polar bear swimming in his pool. Or, if I'm feeling mean, I can drop a zebra or two into the lion exhibit. The only problem I have with the game is that you can't move objects once they are placed - you have to delete and replace them. I guess I'm spoiled from The Sims. Still, this is a versatile and addictive game which I think almost anyone would enjoy (except my luckless zebras, of course).
zoo tycoon is a very good buy

I am a big fan of games like zoo tycoon and I was not disappointed when I bought this game. The scenarios are great because they're challenging and each one is different so it stays interesting. The game is great, they're so many different options it keeps me playing for hours.
GREAT FAMILY GAME!

I don't normally play sims, but this one kept me entertained for hours right off the bat. Easy to get started with the tutorials, educational (learn about money management, animals, and plants), lushly detailed visuals. There's even Zoo Poo! This game further helps to prove that a good title doesn't have to contain blood and guts - oh your animals can escape, but the most they'll do is shake the heck outta people! Don't hesitate to get this one - it's a charmer.
my fav. game (hint hint all parents)
