An Oldie But a Goodie

So I was playing this game the other day, and it prompted me to write a review for those who might not have been fortunate enough to play it yet. Basically, the game is exactly what you'd expect... it's a sim/strategy type game where you take the role of a zoo keeper, and build your ideal zoo. With dozens of animals, from African hunting dogs to saltwater crocodiles to Asian black bears, this game should appeal to any wildlife enthusiast. The whole goal of the game is to make sure your animals, and guests, are happy. The former is achieved by placing them in a suitable environment, the later by building animal house (like 'reptile houses,' 'primate houses,' etc), resturants, gift stores and other attractions. You can choose several scenarios, from free form games to pre-made games that require you to achieve certain, increasingly challenging, goals. Over all, a very cool game, and one you can get cheaply too. But it will still provide hours of enjoyment. Go for it!

Devilishly addictive

My 8 yr. old son and myself are hooked! Design habitats, zoo layout, organize your staff, and make those donors happy! Keep the customers satisfied...that means the animals! Ornery giraffes and chippy chimps are definitely a no-no! PS - don't let that jaguar eat an antelope either, oh no!

Zoo Tycoon is a lot of fun. I like the challenge of making the animals happy. It was hard to learn at first, but now I've got the hang of it. Leveling the ground is hard. The zoom function is limited. But overall I like it!

Best of the Best

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!

Very Cool

This game is a lot of fun, but I recommend getting the Zoo Tycoon Complete. You get more options with it.

I got this game yesterday and it is fun but hard.It is hard to keep your animals happy.If your animals are so unhappy,you can't buy them for a while.If you're looking for a fun game or fun and challenging game I recommend this one.

Good game, but not perfect

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.
