Summary: Zoo Tycoon just got bigger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur digs is the best game! It's like zoo tycoon, it has the animals and the objects, but you can buy dinosaurs! There are also new objects like the large valcano! Buy your dinosaurs. At first, they are eggs. You will need to higher scientists to look at them. But when they hatch, you'lle have to look over them. The guests will be amazed at all of the dinosaurs you'lle have! Once you start the game, you can never stop! I have almost all of the games in the tycoon series!!! For those of you who don't have one of the tycoon games, you should get this game or zoo tycoon!!!!!!!!!! You really should buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: It's good but not great.
Review: GAMEPLAY 6.5:
Here's how it goes down. You choose the animal(s) you want to create. You choose the walls and make the pen. You put the animal(s) in the pen. Your read the zookeeper's instructions on what the animal(s) want(s) (such as water, trees, and rocks) then you do it. It may sound boring (especially how I put it), and it is, but you can still suck some fun out of it. The annimals can be rather boring (but the same goes for real life). The main thing you really need to do is make the zoo look pretty. This is more of a landscaping sim than a zoo building sim.
GRAPHICS 4.5:
The graphics are rather simple but they aren't terrible. Nothing great here.
SOUND 4.5:
The animals make the same sounds over and over whenever you click em'. It gets annoying fast. The best part of the sound is probably the opening song (which isn't that great).
REPLAY VALUE 4:
After you finish making a zoo with every animal you probably won't touch this game again for a while.

Summary: I'v only played the demo but..
Review: It is fantactic. I have the full version on my wish list. Even though the demo has only 4 animals [you cannot get females on the demo] and not as much other stuff as the full version. It's GRATE, FANTCTIC [I don't know how much words I know how to discribe it so I'll leave it as that]. Thanxz for reading this,
Caitlin L Plant.
P.s. Do not tease me becase of my name or if I had the chance I'll tease you.

Summary: Splash out on Marine Mania and you won't be disappointed
Review: Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania is a very cool expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon.Although it was very good, I actually prefer this to the first expansion pack Dinosaur Digs. There are a lot more new features. You must put your marine animals in tanks instead of exhibits, adjusting the height and choosing the right foliage. You can hire marine specialists to look after the creatures, which include orca whales, seals, rays, squids, otters, great white sharks and many more - over 20 in total. There are loads of new shops and attractions to please your guests with. You can also put on shows with some of the animals. You can choose exactly what the animals do in the shows, in which order, and schedule it as to how often you want the show to happen. There are several new scenarios for those players who like the challenges. You also now get the ability to pick up guests and put them wherever you want...including in exhibits and tanks! I think this is a great expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon. It really makes the original Zoo Tycoon game a lot more interesting and also included Dinosaur Digs, so it'll keep you playing the game for much longer than before!

Summary: A Great Game! Worth every penny!
Review: Hey everyone. I would just like to say that if you are thinking about purchasing a copy of Zoo Tycoon you are right in doing so!
It is most definetly as fun and entertaining as Roller Coaster Tycoon. It also gives you a learning experience with detailed descriptions of each animal; where they live, what they eat...etc. It has wonderfully detailed graphics and sounds. You start out by picking your zoo and your budget. Then, you make appropriate excibits for the animals by choosing the terrain, foliage, and fence. You must also please the people. Afterall they are the ones who give you more money. All in all, this game is excelent. It is worth every penny! Great for kids. Great for adults!

Summary: Get Ready! The Second Expansion Is Marine Mania!
Review: As you probably already guessed, Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania will bring new marine animals to Zoo Tycoon. How can you see underwater? Simple. Unlike the original Zoo Tycoon, the water is clear in the exhibits! This expansion will bring over 20 new aquatic animals to add to the long list of animals already in Zoo Tycoon. Some of the animals are: killer whales, dolphins, giant squids, great whites, and manta rays! Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania will add TEN new scenarios! There will also be new objects included, like the ring toss. Another highlight is the animal shows. You can set up a show for sea otters, sea lions, killer whales, dolphins, and great whites. You are now able to set up stands and have a show to exhibit your animals. After that, you can set up the show the way YOU want it to be! Move by move, you can make the animals show. One last highlight is you can put original Zoo Tycoon animals in the clear water and watch them swim and play, such as the polar bear, grizzly bear, penguin, Asian elephant, etc. Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania will be a great game and I'm sure it will be a hit!

Summary: Disappointing Expansion
Review: First of all, I want to say that the 2 star rating is not for the original Zoo Tycoon. That's a 5 star game hands down (though as others have mentioned, I like Roller Coaster Tycoon better). The 2 stars is for my disappointment in Dinosaur Digs. This expansion to Zoo Tycoon is not for everyone. My first problem with this expansion is a personal preference: rather than a dinosaur expansion to Zoo Tycoon, I would have rather seen something akin to what Livin' Large was to The Sims - more animals! And I don't mean dinosaurs. There are inumberable animals that I would have added to Zoo Tycoon to make it more fun for me - animals that exist - and there is so much more they could have done with it. That leads into my second problem. They didn't add enough valuable gameplay. They threw in a few more dino scenarios. They threw in, yes, a slew of dinosaurs and likewise scenary and exhibit objects. And they added the expensive scientist, and, in my opinion, the rather useless "dinosaur recovery team". Sure they added a few buttons to hide different things. But what about more water animals - and a tank that lets you put up glass/plastic walls underneath so that guests can view them underwater as many zoos do? What about, in general, adding things that make Zoo Tycoon more like a real zoo? Dinosaurs are too expensive. The fencing, scientists, above-mentioned dinosaur recovery team, and the dinosaurs themselves cost insane amounts of money. Granted, if we really did have dinosaurs to put on display I imagine that would be "realistic", but it's hard enough to keep the money rolling in with normal animals. On the whole, I was disappointed with the expansion. Some, who liked the idea of dinosaurs in a zoo, may disagree, and I suppose that would be justified, but I would have rather seen 50 new animals and new useful gameplay features (I noticed you still can't turn off the silly shelters to see underneath for trampled terrain - unless I missed something) than dinosaurs. I hope Microsoft decides to make another, more realistic expansion. I love Zoo Tycoon and I'm sure I'd buy it.

Summary: Zoo Tycoon is Number 1!
Review: I used to love the sims, until my friend got Zoo Tycoon. I went crazy! I tried to go to his house every day. Then I started asking my parents for it. I finally got it. It was great! You choose how much cash you want to start with, and you choose what kind of zoo you want. Then you get to build exhibits and stuff for people. And your zoo just gets bigger and bigger! There are also sencarios, where you get a started zoo, and you have to meet a certin goal. Overall, I think this is the best CD-ROM I've ever played.

Summary: Cool game if you like to go to the Zoo
Review: Really fun. Its is almost like real. But the funny thing is when you let the animals out you don't get in trouble. Has alot of animals to choose from. You can also add buildings like animal buildings food places. Be careful don't spend to much money on new animals every second. I really like it that they teach you about animals. Oh yeah if you do well you get awards.

Summary: the news of the zoo
Review: Really good. When you first start it can be hard learning how to use all of the buttons and controls but after you play for a while it is really good. You can go mad on freedom games. You can pick how much money you start with. The puzzles and hard but fun. I really liked this games and everybody out there probabley finds it fun too.
