Zoo Tycoon

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!

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!

IF YOU HAVE A KID THAT IS CREATIVE AND IS WILLING TO SPEND SOME TO ALOT OF TIME CREATING THIS ZOO IT IS EXCELLENT! MY 9 AND 12 YEAR OLD LOVE IT. WE LOVE THE FLYING WITCH-SANTA ETC AT THE HOLIDAYS. GREAT FUN WHEN THE ANIMALS ESCAPE. EVEN THE ADULTS CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH.

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!

this game is so fun and i can do what ever i want in the zoo!!!
