Zoo tycoon 2, 2008-12-26

Reviewer: Christopher Boyd

Zoo tycoon 2 is a fun game the fact that i liked about it was that you were able to actualy turn into one of the zoo kepers and walk around your zoo cleaning the anlimals area .I hate when the animals brake through thier fence.This game teaches you about animals and there spicies.but zoo tycoon 2/dinasor extinct is even better.But it is more work to take care off the dinasors.I would rather play the unlimited money challenge.But still you should get this game it is a fun game

Fun but you need the expantion packs, 2008-09-09

Reviewer: L. Thomas

I enjoy this game, but zoo tycoon is kinda boring by its self, so I wouldn't recommend this game un-less you also buy the expantion packs, the expantion packs truely make this game great. If your a animal lover like me then you will really love this game, its very realistic and the graphics are pretty good. If you do not have a LOT of memory on your computer then this game won't run very well and will often crash, I have very nice work station so its not a problem with me, but if your computer has problems runing other games like sims 2, I wouldn't buy this game if I was you.
