Zoo Tycoon is a good game. The animal reation is good. There's a lot of information about the animals. The Zookeepers good... well at least at the beggining and you can even download new stuff but there's one problem. The guests are are not responsive. Here's an example. I was playing ZooTycoon when they said a lot of the guests were hungry. I fixed that by adding food stands but they are still saying that they are hungry. So I added even more food stands and now I have a lot of foodstands all over the zoo and they continue to say a lot of the guests are hungry. There's also a problem with the zookeeppers. At the beggining, they feed the animals quickly. But soon they start feeding the animals very slowly. Pretty soon a lot of my animals were hungry because of this. So lets just say everything's good except for the guests and zookeepers.

I found this game to be dull and tedious. No matter how you design your cages, you'll be nagged to death with endless messages about "Too much grass, too much sand, too much rock, too much dirt..." -and that's just about terrain. It's fun to let the animals out and watch them go wild, at least once or twice. The game itself, however, is a snorefest.
Another thing to keep in mind. This game installs DirectX 8.0 on your machine. If you run Roller Coaster Tycoon on Windows ME, you may lose all access to your game. I've yet to find a solution and Microsoft does not acknowledge the problem on its web site.
If you have the time to sit for a while. . . .

This sim game is awesome. If you have the time to sit for a while, you could make changes and add things all day. I wan't much into sims, but this is a cool game. I particularly like the instand feedback from the animals and the ability to get zoo visitors input.
Totally!

The game has potential, however presently there are bugs in the programing. I'd wait to purchase this game until the patches have been created. Check out gaming websites for more info on the bugs.

Really good. When you first start it can be hard learning how to use all of the buttons and controls but after you play for a while it is really good. You can go mad on freedom games. You can pick how much money you start with. The puzzles and hard but fun. I really liked this games and everybody out there probabley finds it fun too.
I'v only played the demo but..

It is fantactic. I have the full version on my wish list. Even though the demo has only 4 animals [you cannot get females on the demo] and not as much other stuff as the full version. It's GRATE, FANTCTIC [I don't know how much words I know how to discribe it so I'll leave it as that]. Thanxz for reading this,
Caitlin L Plant.
P.s. Do not tease me becase of my name or if I had the chance I'll tease you.
Good Stuff...

Nice package for your kids. Although it can be complicated, it's worth the money. Though you may have to sit at the computer and work with your youngster to help him/her understand the full potential of the product.
Can you be the zoo tycoon?

This game is really attractive. You can build your dream zoo with the tolls it provides. When you are installing the game, it will show a guildline for you to help you to understand the game clearly. My sister like this game very much. But she likes to kill people. She first build a fanstic zoo, then delete all the gate and let the animals escape, then all the animals will escape and fight with people. Although it is a bit cruel, but I think this is a interesting and funny way to play the game again when you are tired of building a normal zoo.
