I had played the first Zoo Tycoon and all the expansions pack. I loved it!! and now they come out with the second series so I bought this game a few weeks ago, I've been playing this game till now. This game absolutely amazing!!, although the gameplay different from the first one, but it's still easy to play and luckily they still give the tutorial mode (to learn to play the game). I think the game developer still save the expansion sets for this game. Keep it up Zoo Tycoon!!
It's a good game for pre-teens (9-13 year olds)

This game is good for kids 9-13 years old, because you can zoom in to something called zoo guest mode, and use the arrow keys to walk around, and for every animal and object there is, there is a description on them. It is both challenging and easy, depending on which scenario you pick. The only problems are that the humans are not complex at all, and there are only 25 animals. I counted. Still, it's a pretty cool game.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

When I first found the game I was SO HAPPY! THe first version is TRASH JUNK WORTHLESS compared to this!! Oh, and if it gives you a little dialog box saying you don't have enough system memory and the dialog box has a 'don't show me this again' check box thingy and a continue button then check the afore mentioned check box and click continue. It'll probably work alright.The grahfics when you walk into people (it seems to "cut" through the people) aren't so great. {Minus one star.} Other than that its great!!! To all the people who don't like the game BE QUIET SHADDUP!

The new zoo tycoon 2 definitely has great graphics and it's also definitely more fun -- but I think it's more fun for the younger set! I loved the first zoo tycoon and that would still be my preference -- it required a lot more thought and strategy to complete the goals and keep everyone happy. Over the years I completed all of the scenarios. I bought zoo zycoon 2 because my [...]grandson was visiting. He enjoyed it, but I still haven't been able to get in to it myself.
Awesome Game

We all love Zoo Tycoon 2. After owning the original version for a few years, my children finally convinced us to get the updated version. We all think it's out of this world and if you are an animal lover you simply must play this game. My five year old who can not read yet, loves to play it as well as my two older children.
Great, realistic game!!

This game is great for anyone who loves animals and realistic sim games! It has a lot of fun features and downloads from the internet, although I could only get one of them to work. Overall, it's a really great game with only a couple of flaws!
a great game for everybody!

In this fun, and yet, challenging game, you have to try to keep guests coming to your zoo, and always making sure you have enough money. You are put into the shoes of a zoo owner, and you want to make sure both your guests and animals are happy and not ill. It has all the ups and downs of owning a real zoo, for example: if you don't add bathrooms or garbage cans, your guests will get mad and leave the zoo. You also have this "zoo fame", where you try to get up to five stars, which means your zoo is famous worldwide. You have to make sure all the animals are where they are supposed to be, and not scaring any people away. This might seem like a big job, but once you start, you get addicted to it and can never stop! The one species that are really hard to keep track of are penguins: this feisty animals seem to break loose of their cage no matter how strong the fence is! However, this is overall the best computer game I have ever played, and I'm sure it will be for you too!
INCREDIBLE GAME!

This is definitely a game I would recommend.The graphics are amazing.You can put very intresting animals in your zoo from red pandas to zebras.zoo tycoon complete collection is pretty fun but this one is better.On zoo tycoon complete collection you can play freeform games,but you don't get unlimited money.In this one you can play with more unique animals and you get unlimited money.Anyone who likes zoos should get this game.
Great Work Microsoft!

INTRO
I picked this game up at Wal-Mart one day with my dad, and when I got home I tried it out. It took a bit to install it, but all in all it was fantastic. I was very impressed with the graphics, and music is cute also.
PROS
When you start at the main screen, you can play the Campiagn game, the Challenge game, and the Freeform game. The Campiagn game has different challenges with different animals, like 3 months talking care of Elephants. Then there's the Challenge game, where you can choose your money from 1,000 dollars-10,000,000 dollars! I personaly like the the Freeform game the best, because you can choose from any animal, fence, building, furnish, biome, tree, flower, path,rock,toy,animal shelter,or animal food you want! You also have unlimited money, which is a big plus (Let's wish for that in real life)!
CONS
These are the cons of these games:
Doesn't save your game right (I lost over 4-5 zoos)
Bad graphics with the people who come to your zoo
Doesn't exit right
CONCLUSION
All in all I love this game. It is amazing, and it is so much better than the first. If you love creating and animals like I do, I recomend this game to you!
Good game, but bad for a slow old computer

This game is a lot of fun, but it requires at least 256 MB of RAM (which I didn't have on my computer) and I didn't know. This game is really fun, but if you have less than 256 MB of RAM it could be quite frusterating to set up.
