5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun game!!, January 20, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Zoo Tycoon 2 (Mac) (CD-ROM)

This is a really awesome game! If you love playing computer games for the challenge and the action then this game is probably not for you! However, if you are like me, and enjoy playing stress-free, easy-going games than this will be perfect for you! I would recommend Zoo Tycoon 2 because:
1. You can zoom in further while building.
2. All the plants, animals, and terrain are organized into biomes to easily set up your exhibits. You can even build waterfalls!
3. You can play freeform, with no restrictions on money or building.
4. It has objects that #1 didn't (ex. musical rocks, more food stands, different employees)

This game has countless possibilities, and you'll find yourself starting, and re-starting zoos to come up with the perfect look!

The only downfall would be that there aren't as many animals as in zoo tycoon 1 with both expansion packs (the marine one and the dinosaur one). However, they've already come out with a zoo tycoon 2 expansion pack for PC, so maybe the mac version will be out soon! I hope! But untill then, this game is still very entertaining, and I would highly recommend it!

I purchased this for my daughter as an upgrade to the original version that included the aquarium and the dinosaur options. The only disappointment is the fact that they haven't released the additional options in MAC format yet, so she can't build dinosaur exhibits or the African Safari, which is currently availabe for Windows only. Otherwise, the graphics are great and it is much easier for my 6-year old to play this on her own since they use more icons instead of copy when it comes to keeping the animals happy and healthy. She likes taking pictures of her animals too.

I was able to exact revenge on my former employers as a zookeeper in this game. I was once a zookeeper, enjoyed the job, but couldn't stand the bureaucracy of the zoo world and their bad ideas on animal collections and exhibit design. I wish I could have designed a cool reptile building with the expansion packs, but it still rocks. I've played this game for hours and still enjoy it. A must buy for adults and children. Enjoy.
