Any fan of Zoo Tycoon 2 should love this expansion. This expansion pack includes:

* 20 new rare animals with many endangered
* Vehicle & Sky Tram Tours
* Elevated paths
* New challenges
* New objects with some themed

The new animals are really near & the 2 kinds of tours are an excellent addition. My only complaint is that there aren't more challenges. There are only 3 categories with 3 scenarios in each. The 3 scenarios in 1 of the categories is just taking certain pictures. How easy is that? I want more challenges!!! The only other thing that I could nit-pick on would be that fact that the zookeepers still have trouble getting to some of the poop. Overall though I would recommend this game as long as you can get it at a good price.

This is really a great expansion pack! Well worth the money to get it! The addition of the new animals is alot of fun! Besides that the sky track and jeep tours are really interesting. The new facilities are great. A must have for all zoo tycoon fans!

this is a great game and i love it! i have played it for days and just cant stop. it's cool to have jeep tour to take your guests through the exhibits with no fences. there are also now volcanoes and they erupt.there are new animals and themes. you can make bridges over the lions cage or water. dont forget the railing or the guests will fall into the lions cage.the game has great graphics and every animal has a different pattern. the guests now have sappy new clothes. if you're like me and cant find the cd to your zoo tycoon 2 then buy this and you'll get more than what you had. i love this game and i found time to write this review by wanting everybody to know about it. but i still have more to tell. there is a bounce house for all the young people. also don't forget about the photo kiosk.now you finally can have your wolves fight against the legendary emporor penguin! waddle little penguins! waddle! don't forget about the sky tower, hedset kiosk, face painting kiosk and the discovery kiosk. no! i almost forget about the breeding center, crystal caves, fog machine, snow machine, sequioa tunnel, rock pool, bat cave, and geyser. we also have sky trams and elevated paths. i love this game and it well worth the money. this is a must have game!!!!!!!!!!

In all honesty, I would give this game a 5 for fun and overall...EXCEPT as you get your park built up, like around 10 different species and their environments set up, the game starts to freeze, it is very frustrating. I have spoken with other people who have the same problem, so it isn't just my computer or this particular CD. Other than that, this game is great! Very addictive. It's just frustrating that as you get your park how you want it, you suddenly can't play without taking minutes for each and every move.

My daughter and I have lots of fun with this one. She loves to receive the endangered species special reward in the game for having a good amount of endangered animals. She has learned so much about animals and their habitats and what their likes and dislikes are just from playing this game. She is learning while playing and no complaints - go figure. I love to play too except I don't get to if she is around, She takes over. We love the game very much.

I had seen a ton of advertisements for this expansion pack before I got it, and they all did a great job of saying that the game was dull. It is, however, NOT!The rides (The trams, the Jeeps) were a great asset in adding to your guests' happiness and park ratings. The new animals are fun and (Fennec Foxes and Gray Wolves especially) breed like rabbits. There isn't that much in the way of new buildings and scenary, but that hinderence is made up for by the new features. The only complaints I have is that there are only two Jeep models and the new kiosks aren't as well detailed as the ones in the original game. Also, you can't see too well when you're riding in a Jeep and, even on high detail, the dashboard and stuff are really blurry. Otherwise, this is a must buy!

The game is fun, the scenarios run very well but, the freeform and challenge games run horribly choppy. There is major graphics trouble. I admit it is a bit of a dissapointment. The game eats up all the processes by trying to load and overly extensive background.

This expansion is exellent! I highly reccomend it. You now have more animals and objects and buildings. I must warn you though, the scenarios are VERY difficult, but that's what makes this so fun! Great for any budding Zoo Tycoon

This is a great game! Love to see the animals play and I have tons of fun setting up the zoo and doing the challenges. Only problem I have noticed is after playing for about 3 hours the games freezes and you have to reboot your pc. So, as long as you don't play for that long and you save the game periodically you should be fine. :) Have fun and buy Zoo Tycoon!! The original Zoo Tycoon is a blast too...but make sure you get the complete edition to enjoy the marine life too! I can't wait til they add that to Zoo Tycoon 2!! :)

This is a terrific program for your future zoologist! My daughter (7) is hooked on it and loves learning about the animals and creating appropriate habitats for them. I've even taken a shot at creating zoos and 3 hours later, decided it was time to return to duty. It's similar to owning your own little zoo that you create everything from scratch, from selecting the right habitats to chosing entertainment for guests to even cleaning up after animals. It's a great program for all.
