Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure is the most amazing expansion pack along with Marine Mania, Extinct Animals, and Endangered Animals. This expansion pack is full of African animals that you might know or some you've never heard of. You can create your own real African zoo along with lions, giraffes, cheetahs, and rhinos. If you love animals or Africa i suggest you get this expansion pack. It is full of fun and zoo experiences you might not be able to do at a real zoo! I highly recommend this game for animals lovers.

It teaches responsibility and caring for animals. It shows how to clean up after them and to watch to see if they are agitated and if they need feeding. She goes into the site every day to see what is happening with her charges and if they need anything. She is fascinated with the whole aspect of the game. She wants us to buy more of them for her birthday in December. She really is enjoying this game.

A necessary addition

I waited a long time for the price on this item to go down. It is not worth as much as it started out. All it has is 20 new animals and it also has a FEW new objects--not even any new foliage. Includes new jeeps and buildings and some of the same stuff as Endangered Species Expansion. When I got it I was satisfied with it. Most of the animals are very different from previous animals and have improved in looks (compare white rhino to black rhino). The variety is good. What I like best about this expansion is that it has allowed me to be able to choose from a wider variety of animals. Buy it if you want more animals; but don't expect too much more.

A very good game.

This game is fun for the whole family. We had a blast exploring the new terrain and animals, and it is a good step up from the original.
We can't wait for the Endangered Species expansion to arrive, because we know it will be very fun also!

I recommend this for any child, or teen, or even adult who loves animals and had a great time playing ZT2! It was worth the store price for this game, without a doubt.

its pretty fun...

I like Zoo Tycoon and all ,but the thing is I can't play it for more than an hour because it gets boring after a while. You just watch the animals "exist" ,but dont take that in a bad way... it's still really fun. I mean you can really bond to your animals and you probably would want to see if they breed, grow up or if they pass away. It's interesting. I have all three expansions and I love this one the best because of the meerkats. They're so cute! O-kay, well, I can't think of anything else to say, so I'm leaving. Bye!

Good game for animal lovers!!

I would recomend this game for kids in fourth grade or up and I only am saying this because there is mating were you see the male and female lay down close to each other and then it tells you that they are mating and the female then becomes pregnant. If you don't mind explaining to kids about what is going on than the game could be for any age. But it has amazing graphics and you get to see mom dad and siblings grow up. There are tough tasks that you need to perform in order to get themed items or breeding center. But you can also play in the freeform mode. This means you have unlimited money and you have every kind of animal and all food/drink/entertainment for your guests. It is a lot easier to obtain a 5 star zoo when you play in this mode. All in all a great game for animal lovers!!!!

1: I'm just a kid and I know that the hyena IS infact part of the canine family and if you looked properly it looks different and is not simply a recolored gray wolf.
2: Ok fine it is a bit pricey but it is still good expansion.
3: xpansion simply means "add on" nobody ever said what was being added on, so ok it doesn't have many new campains and the objects have simply been remodled, but on the endangered species game I don't remember seeing any new carts they were just repainted..
maybe next time if you actually play the game with your eyes open you would notice these things!

African Adventure: Is It Worth The Money?

Though I always enjoy Zoo Tycoon 2, African Adventure is often more expensive than its worth. Its Expansion Pack Companion, Endangered Species, is of much better value.
African Adventure adds these animals: Aardvark, African Buffalo, African Spurred Tortoise, Barbary Ape, Bong, Caracal, Ethiopian Wolf, Gelada, Gerenuk(very cute!), Mandrill, Masai Giraffe, Meerkat, Nile Moniter, Pygmy Hippo, Ratel,Secretary Bird, Striped Hyena, Warthog, White Rhino, and the Wildebeest.
There are a few other features, including 'new' themes, campaigns, challenges, and Maps.
Though I enjoyed this game, I would definitly recommend Endangered Species vs. African Adventure

Like the game, the expansion isn't that great

My 8 year old really loved the original zoo tycoon as well as the expansions. So when Zoo Tycoon 2 came out I was the first to buy it. The game was a big improvement, and he loved it even more. But the one thing he and I both noticed was the lack of certain basic zoo animals. I realized that the maker of the game might have purposely kept things skimpy so that they could cash in on expansion packs. I didn't mind the first expansion because it did add a lot of content to the game, this pack doesn't really give you a whole lot for your money. Now I am waiting for the inevitable dinosaur and water expansion packs. Hopefully they will give a little more for my dollar than this one did.
