Thereýs only one way to describe Zoo Tycoon: great! Here are some reasons I think Zoo tycoon is a great game: itýs challenging, it has a large animal selection, it has a large plant selection, and it has neat interactive features. For instance, if your fence falls apart, or if youýre just plain weird and delete the fence on purpose, the animals in that exhibit will escape and your guestýs will start screaming and will run out of your zoo. Or if your guestýs are unhappy your zoo will start to lose money.
All in all, Zoo Tycoon is a really great game.

Microsoft finally did something right! Zoo Tycoon is quite a good game. It's a lot like Rollercoaster Tycoon. There are various scenarios where you must build a zoo and ensure that you've a certain number of exhibts, get a certain number of guests, etc. There's also a freeform mode that's quite fun. I bought this as a bundle with Monopoly Tycoon, and this is most certainly the better of the two.
The one thing that I didn't like is that the interface is a bit slow at times, and it can be a bit confusing. Overall, for the fans of Rollercoaster tycoon, and like games (Sim City, etc.), would like this game.
Building a zoo can be boring aftter awhile

I was searching online looking for a sim type game and came across Zoo Tycoon. I couldn't wait to get it in the mail.
Pros: great graphics, lots of animals to choose from and download, have there own unique sound, and you just don't put the animals in there you have to make sure their exhibit is suitable.
Cons: Do get boring real fast esspecially having to build an exhibit for each animal time and time again. Don't have enough excitement. The only bad thing that can happen is an animal gets loose and the guests take off running. I don't even know if they even die if they get attack. Overall it is okay, and because I am a fan of sim type games I'll probably play it again down the line.
So fun!!

I loved this game, mostly because I love animals. It's really fun designing the perfect zoo, everything from the animals habitats to the ice cream stand. I had only three problems with it, 1)You can't speed up time. This can be annoying if you're doing a scenrio and you finish the objectives before your time is up. 2) I didn't think you could really zoom in enough. There were twi sttings, far away and really far away. It would have been better to get closer to the animals and people. 3)The zookeepers are really, really, stupid. You can assign a million of them to one exhibit, and the animal will still be starving in a filthy cage.
These things are annoying, but not enough to ruin the game. I still recomend that you should buy it.
Very addictive!!

I was kind of leary to by this game considering it has the tycoon word in it. I was skeptical after having purchased roller coaster tycoon and all of it's expansion packs. I took the chance since I do love animals as much as roller coasters. The first thing I noticed with this game was the fact that it had better explanations on how to work the tools through tutorials unlike the roller coaster tycoon. In fact after a couple of the easy games I became so hooked that I found myself playing it for up to eight hours at a time on my days off. I also liked the feature of downloading different animals and park features off of the zoo tycoon website. The only thing that would make this game better is if they would add Meerkats!
don't have it, buy it

this is a wonderful game to have. you can build your own zoo. if you want to work at a zoo when you grow up this is a great game to have. you can also just have it for fun. this game showes you and tells you what animal likes what. some animals are zebras, elephants, flamingos, geraffs, polar bears, lions, tigers and so on. if you like animals, computer games and building this is a perfect game for you. i suggest that all of you out there go and buy this game.
A great game, a +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is an awesome game for a gamer of any age. It requires strategy, but is easy to learn. The many sinarios make the possiblilties endless. Plus, when you dont want to play against an objective, you can play free-form mode. It is also a great gift idea for anyone.
Animals lovers, this game was made for you!!

I loved this game! It's so fun! It's just like a real zoo. You can loose or earn money! You get to buy animals and objects! It's so cool! The animals can break out of the fences, just like in real life! Have picnic tables and garbage cans all over your zoo, and giftstores, just like in real life! This game is really realistic! It has the animals, objects, you loose and earn money, and you can design your zoo the way you want it to be! Higher staff, and see peoples thoughts about the animals! But keep your animals and people happy, or you'lle loose a lot of money!! Animal lovers, I reccomend this game for you!!
ZooTycoon Rocks!!

Zoo Tycoon is the best computer game i've ever had! It keeps me busy for hours and I never get bored. With expansion packs it's even more fun. I would suggest it for anyone who likes animals and is interested in zoos. You also learn about animals and what they like in their exhibits. The graphics are really good and the sounds are cool too. It's a little hard when you start out but it gets easier. It's the best game ever!
