Your Very Own Jurassic Park

The other expansion for the original Zoo Tycoon, in case it bears mentioning, this expansion does not work with the sequel (which, again, has its own dinosaur expansion for added confusion). This time around, you get cloning technology that lets your resurrect dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts. Spinosaurus, plesiosaurus, velociraptor, megatherium, wooly rhinoceros, giant Ice Age tortoise and many others, as well as added Dinosaur-themed attractions for your guest (like a pterodactyl house, and the stegosaurus golf course). This expansion is much more challenging than the original Zoo Tycoon, and adds on some difficult scenarios. The dinosaurs, by dint of their size, tend to need larger exhibits and special fences, and care must be taken in selecting their foliage (lest they smash it!). Furthermore, they need to be cared for by scientists, and captured by a special unit should they escape. I'd recommend getting this if you've already exhausted Zoo Tycoon (and the Marine Mania expansion) as it is best suited for veteran players. But yeah, its your choice. Either way, its a fun and challenging game.

If you are interested in the past this game is for you! This game has the coolest animals from way back. Using the electrical fences are really fun because you can shock your animals even though you can shock your guests. The Dino Digs is a fun pack of prehistoric beasts! Enjoy!

Not worth the money at all....Dont waste it!

This game is awful. the dinosaurs are VERY picky. they like a lot of plants, but then they run over them and get mad about the rubble. It is very hard to keep them happy. also, i hired a crew that catches dinos if they escape. when my spinosaurus got out and started eating people, they just stood there! all my guests were screaming and running from my zoo. Very frustrating, and a money waster!!!

Don't Buy This Game!!!!!

This is great game and a very fun addition to Zoo Tycoon, but you can get it with Marine Mania for the same price as it alone.

The game itself adds plenty of new animals with the addition of dinosaurs. You now have a scientist and a dinosaur collection team. Oh Yeah, if the T-Rex gets out, he will eat your guests!

Interesting

I pretty much liked this game. It's exciting in most ways, although it could be better. It has good graphics unlike Roller Coaster Tycoon which didn't have that. You can start off with $500,000.00 and less. You have to build your way up with exhibits and interesting scenery. You have to keep your animals happy with food, habitat, and space. On a scale from one to ten I'd give it an eight.

Good computer game but not alone.

Dinosaur Digs is a great computer game but not by itself. In order to enjoy the game fully you need Zoo Tycoon & Marine Mania. With the three games together you will get the full feel of a zoo, how to run it, keep the guests and animals happy etc. Even if you have Dinosaur Digs & Zoo Tycoon it will not be complete without Marine Mania. Make sure to get Marine Mania as it includes Dinosaur Digs as an added bonus.

With all three of these games you and your children will enjoy hours of fun building and maintaining your own zoo. Just don't forget, unhappy guests mean no money for your zoo which means unhappy animals and no funding from outside sources for new exhibits, etc.

OBSOLETE!!

If you purchase the Marine expansion you get this included as a bonus. This is now obsolete when you purchase the Marine Pack.

Have you ever wanted your own zoo? If so, this is the game for you! Get Elephants, Lions, Chimpanzes, and even Peingiuns! Real little people come through your zoo. Make sure you don't let the lions out!
