Customer Reviews

AWESOME and ADDICTING
I was buying these for my sister who is in her thirties, when I read the latest review. I don't know what that person is talking about. I love this game and so does the rest of my family! The animals do make sounds, I love the zebra it's my fave!! The koalas scream or cry for their mothers. Anyway I had the first one, and it is completely boring compared to this, you can not even compare them. Night and Day! My daughter is 10 and loves this and I guess it's ageless because I am 40 and love it too! I think my daughter and I have about ten zoos each. AAA++++

A Good Improvement
I recently got this game bought for me as a gift. I have played and loved Zoo Tycoon the first edition and in many ways was a little hesitant about how much it could improve but I would like to say I was over all impressed. I have played now for several hours and I have had no problems that others have mentioned. They have improved the graphics a lot and I love being able to create water falls and new terrains. The old ways of having to have enough money for the right land is no longer there. And also you don't have to complete all the beginner levels to go up. Each section has a beginner, normal and hard. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because for me I fine the mouse to sensitive in the game and also end up with paths in places I didn't want. It took me a while to place things and also being able to create hills that my animals didn't get stuck on and then complain about. But over all I would say if you liked the first you will love this as it has got better. And if you like other tycoon type games this is a good one to try especially now at this price.

A Really Great Game
Hi.First of all, I loved Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2, so did my brothers. Also, it is a lot more fun with the expansion pack Zookeeper collection. You get the przewalski wild horse, which is great for me, and the Jeep vehicle tour, which my brothers are really happy about. The only problem we had was our videocard. It was pretty old, too, we just got a new better one, and that was cheap, so now it works great. We do a lot more than just make zoos, too. We make pretend horse stables, farms, and we even imprison guests with tigers. Microsoft did a really good job with this one.
