Summary: Fun Game - Great Value
Review: I first started with regular Zoo Tycoon and recently upgraded to Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection. Lots of nifty new bells and whistles (I especially appreciate their Hide Foliage/Hide People options), cool marine/dino life, etc. It's even more addictive than the original.However, some problems - not everything works as it should. The tutorial for Marine Mania has some glitches in it so that you never learn how to create dual terrain surfaces. Dino Mania will not allow you to add a scientist in the tutorial. Stuff like that. It's pretty annoying. With all the new stuff buried in this edition, it would have been nice to have a good walk-through. They do say in the "Read Me" section that everything might not work, but that's something you read *after* buying the thing. I figure you should know it before hand. On the other hand, you can pretty much figure the stuff your yourself playing in freeform mode. It's loads of fun. I sit down to play for an hour or so, look at the clock, and whoops!, the day's gone.

Summary: It's an ok game but it could be better
Review: When i first got the game I thought it would be a lot of fun.
When I played it for a week it was still fun,then it started to get boring.I tried things like lowering the starting supply of money,using endangered animals,and freeing the animals.But it still was boring. So it's really up to you if you want to buy it
i'm not here to judge you and tell you what to do. :)

Summary: Be careful, it's addicting...
Review: This is an excellent program. Combining the first three releases, Zoo Tycoon, Dinosaur Digs, and Marine Mania, the Complete Collection has created a program that amazes me every day. My [young]son is completely hooked. Not that this program is designed for a 5 year old - you must pay attention to so many details (believe me the designers at Microsoft certainly seem to have!) - even Santa has been included! My son has learned so much about the habitats of his favorite animals, and when he goes to bed, I get to continue my zoo, which is located...on the moon! Great program, wonderful details. Highly recommended!

Summary: Totally Worth Every Penny!!!
Review: I had been a fan of other simulation games and worked as an intern in a real zoo, so when Zoo Tycoon came out I knew I had to have it. I put off buying it and then came Dino Digs and Marine Mania. I wanted them all but didn't want to pay for each one seperately. I am now glad I was soooo cheap. Not only have they combined Zoo Tycoon with all of its expansion packs but they have added bonus materials. This is the ultimate combo pack of simulation games. I whole heartily recommend this to any simulation game fan.

Summary: A very addictive game
Review: In this game, you start out with a park of your choice and up ot 500,000 dollars. You also start out with a few animals, but with research and building good exibits, you can unlock more animals and options.
You have to make many choices to make your guests and animals happy such as:
~ keeping the animals fed, watered, and clean in an appropriate habitat
~ keeping the guests pleased with food, bathrooms, benches, tables and happy animals
~ making decisions on ticket prices (and show prices)
~ making plans for purchasing animals and hiring workers
~ managing the buildings and grounds
~ identify marketing, advertising, merchandising plans
~ ect. If you don't have a good exibit for your animal and/or your animal is unhappy, you sometimes can't buy any more animals until you make that animal(s) happy again or sell them.
Some of the dinosaurs test the fences in their enclosure, so make sure that you have a dino-recovery team waiting incase one escapes. (I have even had a dino escape from an electrified fence, so good luck if you think you will keep the t-rex in his exibit.) The recovery helicopter will tranquilize the animal and you can put it back into the exibit.
If you an escaped carnivore back into it's exibit, it will start eating other animals and/or the visiters in your park!
If you make a show tank, you can build tanks touching it with dolphins, orcas or other show animals and build grandstands for people to watch and you have a show business Maintenance workers help you by getting rid of trash and fixing cages. Scientists and Zoo Keepers feed and take care of the Dinos and land animals.
In this set, you can have animals ranging from penguins, lions and giraffes to t-rexes, stegasaurouses, and ankylosaurous to dolphins, orcas and sharks.
You can try to build the best park in a theme such as african or prehistoric or aquatic, or you can just mix them all together to make one awesome park!
