Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Combining three top-selling titles, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection includes the original Zoo Tycoon game and the Dinosaur Digs and Marine Mania expansion packs, allowing players’ imaginations to run wild as they care for more than 100 land, aquatic, and prehistoric animals in the most beautiful and lively zoo imaginable. Additionally, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection comes with loads of bonus content, including the entire new Endangered Species Theme Pack. This bonus theme pack features 12 animals on the endangered and/or threatened species list, such as orangutans, whale sharks, and Komodo dragons. Zookeepers can tend to these rare animals using more than 40 new objects based on four new themes, and can challenge their inner zoo keeping skills with three new scenarios.

Would-be zookeepers have more than 100 animals and more than 500 building objects at their disposal to create a thriving and healthy zoo. They can set up their own aquatic show, launch an expedition to recover escaped dinosaurs, or build a habitat for an endangered species. With access to many specialized staff such as zookeepers, scientists, and marine specialists, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection lets virtual zookeepers mix and match animals and themes to create and manage the ultimate zoo. Fun for kids and parents alike, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection offers players the most exciting Zoo Tycoon experience next to actually running a real-life zoo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plays for a long time, February 25, 2006

By	W. Tyree (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this for my three children (4,6,8). They have been playing it regularly for almost two months now. The oldest has gone through some of the scenarios to actually "play" the game. The two youngest play the "kid's zoo" scenario which gives them access to all of the animals and they never run out of money regardless of what they do. The 4 year old can't read so she has to have help with a lot of the parts. Her favorite activity is to name all of the baby animals.

We Googled for easter eggs and found a few mythical animals and funny things we can do. The children have found those interesting.

One thing to note, you can feed animals to each other (all of the killing and eating takes place in a cloud of smoke) and when carnivores escape (either because you aren't maintaining their cages or you bulldoze a hole in the fence) they will tackle your guests and bite or eat them until caught by the zookeepers. No blood, but the people scream.

All in all, this game has been worth the price. It is in the regular rotation with our other computer games and looks like it will be there for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR ANYONE!, November 24, 2005

A Kid's Review

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

my mom just recently bought my sister and I this game. You can make your own zoo and put in food and gift shops too!! In the complete collection of Zoo Tycoon, you can make Marine animals, Dinosaurs, and regular zoo animals. Be careful though, you want to make your zoo the best, so you can have visitors, and sometimes you can get awards! This game is fun for everyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoo Tycoon: Up to standards and beyond!, August 17, 2006

A Kid's Review

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is tons better than Roller Coaster, Sea World and all the other "theme park" tycoon games. The details are great, the animals are colorful and fun to look at and the scenarios are challenging, not easy-peasy like other games. The Dinosaur pack adds a really cool element to the game (They have almost all the animals found in Jurassic Park!) and the Marine tanks and animals are extremly detailed (Look at the shadows!) and cute. The only complaints I have are that the jaguars get ticked off if you don't give them a toy and the Bengal Tigers breed too much. Otherwise it is the perfect cure to boredom. A must buy!
