I thought that this game was actully pretty good, and it is addicting and fun. however, i have one complaint. the AI of the guests is TERRIBLE! when they are reallly really hungry, thirsty,tired,have to go to the b-room, etc, they walk RIGHT BY the things that would make it all better. this needs to be fixed in a patch or something.

This game is fun! If you like animals you might also consider The Sims Unleashed. If you got Rollercoaster Tycoon and liked it,this is THE game for you. The people that visit the zoo are better than the people in Rollercoaster Tycoon because there are children and girls-not just boys that all look the same. Rollercoaster Tycoon people have more personality,though. There are many different animals to choose from. My personal favorites are the pigs. All of the animals can have babies and they are all realistic. If you want a fun game with interesting graphics and new possibilities in game play every single time you play, GET ZOO TYCOON! If you are buying this game for someone I reccomend it to girls 9+ of boys 11+ because my little brother never plays it. He likes car racing. I hope you found my review useful!
Fun, But Very Complicated

I enjoy myself immensely when I play this game. One of the reasons I find it so entertaining is because there is always something you need to be doing. There is never time to just sit around in this game; there is always a hungry animal, a dissatisfied guest, or new animals to adopt. The only problem I had was that it was very confusing, which is why I took away one star. Younger children would find it very difficult to figure out. I would reccomend this game for 9-13 year olds.

Zoo Tycoon is a great idea and has lots of potental. Beware of trouble. Its is not very compatible with all computer systems. There are alot of software conflicts that I have come across. Tech support is so-so from Microsoft for this game. They always blamed it on the computer and its software that was preloaded. What's so funny is that my new DELL computer is preloaded with Microsoft software. The troubles I am referring to are lock-ups, freezing and slowness of game prior to locks-ups/freezing. Microsoft needs to fix the problems with software conflicts especially when its their software that is the conflict. Graphics and the ideas of the game are great.

Zoo Tycoon seperates itself from other "Tycoon" games. Lots of great animals, including ones you can download of their site. A must for tycooners looking for a different tycoon game. Build reptile houses and primate houses. Breed the rare Giant Panda and recieve an award. Have lions and tigers. Polar bear galore. Gators, birds, monkeys, camels, elephants, kangaroos, giraffes, yeti's, reindeer, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, and MORE! Build your own zoo for fun or take the challenge to become the real Zoo Tycoon!!

Loaded fine but then couldn't get it to run. Couldn't even get back to a spot where I could get the unique product number. As it turned out, MS doesn't tell you that if you are running a newer version of XP (post Sep 2002, SP1) you have to buy a codec, online, from a thrid party company. For $14.95 additional you can get the game to work on your XP system. MS support was no help. I was very upset and will return to the store I bought it from, Staples.
Zoo Tycoon is Number 1!

I used to love the sims, until my friend got Zoo Tycoon. I went crazy! I tried to go to his house every day. Then I started asking my parents for it. I finally got it. It was great! You choose how much cash you want to start with, and you choose what kind of zoo you want. Then you get to build exhibits and stuff for people. And your zoo just gets bigger and bigger! There are also sencarios, where you get a started zoo, and you have to meet a certin goal. Overall, I think this is the best CD-ROM I've ever played.

I enjoy playing the game and making the animal enclosures, especially with the Shift 4 money cheat so I can just build...build...build. However, I recommend saving OFTEN. THe game will suddenly crash for no apparent reason. Another wonderful microsoft creation. I was half way through a scenerio the other night and forgot to save and the game crashed. It can be very frustrating. Other than that its a pretty neat game.
