I'm a huge fan of Zoo Tycoon & I've bought all the expansions. I absolutely couldn't wait for Marine Mania because that was my favorite in the original Zoo Tycoon. It was well worth the wait. Of course I'd like more scenarios but with the 9 additional that's what I've come to expect out of expansions. This expansion features has 20 marine animals (whales, dolphins, rays, sharks, otters & then some) + the ability to train & put on shows with some of the animals. The shows are pretty neat & it's fun to be able to swim with the animals. With the plants & rocks in the tank it looks pretty realistic. when you're in the tanks. If you are a fan of Zoo Tycoon 2 I'm sure you'd love this expansion pack. Buy it!!!

Marine Mania is the best expansion pack out. The graphics are wonderful. I have learned a lot about marine animals since I got it.

-Add 20 beautiful marine animals (mammals, fish, reptiles).

-The game also comes with a useful tool-- the eyedropper. It is used to easily duplicate objects.

- Now the trees, bushes, and grasses now sway with the add of the expansion; making it look even more realistic as you tour your zoo.
You can now go under water in the ponds, lakes or tanks you construct. Even add koi to ponds.

- Train orcas, dolphins, seals and more to make incredible shows to wow your guests.

However...I would recomend it be a tad more realistic in some ways (carrots cost $50 ea., animals get stuck in the ground). The game itself should be about $20 (that's how much I got it for on sale). Do not get it if you don't have a NEW computer. Older ones can't handle the game. Overall I give this game a high rating and recomend it to animal lovers.

Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania is probably the best expansion yet. I enjoyed the first Zoo Tycoon and its expansions and when Zoo Tycoon 2 came out, I enjoyed it even more. Now you can have marine animals and that was what fans were campaigning for.
You can now train dolphins and other animals yourself (although it gets harder). If you find it too hard, you can hire a trainer to do it for you.

All in all, it's a great game and a must buy.

I own all of the Zoo Tycoon games. I couldn't wait for Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine mania to come out. On the day it came out, I rushed to the store and bought the last one!When I came home I installed it and started playing. There were lots of cool animals like dolphins, turtles, sharks and lots of cool plants too! The aquatic shows were really fun to make, and you can make huge aquatic tanks! If you like aquatic animals you should totally buy it!
I hope this review was helpful to you.

My child loves the game. We had some trouble getting it to run, but the Game's Tech Support was easy to reach and solved the problem quickly.

I bought this expansion pack as an xmas gift. We love it. It is easier to create biomes than the past ones and we always welcome new challenges and campaigns. The animals are interesting and the whole family is certainly learning more about ocean life. Training the animals can be tedious but it is definitely fun for adults and kids alike. It is very addictive though and you can easily suck up an afternoon creating/playing.
Enjoy!!!

I purchased this game for my grandchildren and they absolutely love it.
They spend hours playing this game with their Dad and always want to know if it is their turn yet. It is entertaining and fun.

I've always enjoyed the Zoo Tycoon game series. I was looking forward to the release of Marine Mania, and have been quite satisfied with it since the purchase. Great variety of animals.

This is a really good game. I love being able to swim with the animals and teach the animal tricks. I think this adds on to zoo tycoon 2 really well. it really makes it more interesting. I can play this game for hours with out getting bored. The only bad thing is the walls on the tank get dirty really quickly. But other than that this game is worth you money for sure!!!!!!!!

Marine Mania adds 20 animals to Zoo Tycoon 2 but here is the catch:they are all sea animals! Some Marine Mania animals can be trained. You can create a show when they become more experienced. Marine Mania also adds new scenarios! You also get 3 new biomes and therefore you get more options in where to place your zoo. You get new buidings like a Marine Themed gift shop and you get more scenery options like the seal statue and music fountain. If you love Zoo tycoon 2, get this expansion pack!
