I used to have this game before with all the add ons ( dino zoo, marine world ) but due to changing computers and lossing the cds, I had to start over again, bought this and same as before it is a really great game of building your own zoo, lots of animals, shops and food restaurants, before I was the only one that played it, now with an 8 year old daughter and a 5 y/o sister that follows here EVERYWHERE they are starting playing also, they like it but still they do not understand that animals need people to take care of them so they ofter die, escape or scare people going to their zoo,lol they still like to see that ( people screaming and running away from a tiger ) I still need the add ons, you will be able to have more than 30 species of animals and more options of zoo lands, I dont hav e any cons with this game, as you can see me I bought it again and I keep playing it when I am bored and need my mind somewhere else.

The game offers 60 different materials for the design of cages and habitats and another 60 materials with which to build the park and guest accommodations, ensuring that each zoo can offer the gamer a new experience. In all, 40 different animals are available to virtual zookeepers. Zoo Tycoon features several modes of play including scenarios with specific objectives, such as the renovation of an outdated park or the breeding of rare animals, as well as an open-ended style of play in which players can design the parks of their dreams with little restriction. Animals that are not comfortable in their cages may just stand around doing nothing, providing little entertainment to the guests that have paid to come to visit them. Happy animals are more active and interesting to zoo visitors. The player can learn about the natural environments and preferences of the different animals in the park and use that information to design habitats that will keep them all safe and happy. Good design will lead guests comfortably through the zoo, with refreshment stands and bathrooms placed in convenient locations among the attractions.Ĭaring for the animal attractions themselves requires foresight and nurturing maintenance. Building upon conventions of recreational park management simulations such as Sim Theme Park and Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon has the player building cages and enclosures for animal attractions and placing pathways and landscaping for the people who come to see them.

Players have the opportunity to create a living zoological park in their home computer with this first release from developers at Blue Fang Games.
