Summary: Very Addictive
Review: Zoo Tycoon is very similar to Roller Coaster Tycoon. It is a lot of fun with many different types of terrains to start from. You can even download a Yeti. If you enjoy any of the Tycoon games, you will love this one.

Summary: OK!! My turn now!!!
Review: Common words in my house over the past couple of days. Now Microsoft even owns my four kids! From 6 to 16, my kids can't leave this game alone. And when my wife or I try to play, all we hear are complaints, "When are you gonna be done?"; "It's MY turn now!"; "We haven't eaten for three days!" ...stuff like that. Not since 'The SIMS' has my house gone through so much turmoil. Loading this game for play in my house is like watching lions battle for dominance in their pecking order after a kill on National Geographic. It's a true credit to this game, that they have made it simple enough for my 6-year old to play (and do pretty well), yet challenging enough to keep my 16-year old off the phone for hours. You start with any one of a LARGE number of open terrain maps of varying sizes and shapes for your zoo. Build an enclosure, make it good so the little animals are happy, adjust the terrain, add plants and toys, get a trainer, reasearch new items, skills for your workers, flora and fauna, as well as new places for your customers to go. You even get awards for different accomplishments! This game really has it all! AND if I ever DO get bored of being the all time #1 Zoo Tycoon in my family for all available maps, I have plans for terrorizing guests with a "SUDDENLY IT'S A WILD ANIMAL PARK!!" idea... Buy the game. You'll see what I'm talking about - just don't tell your kids you have it for a few weeks.

Summary: If you like the Sims, you're gonna love this.
Review: I really wish I hadn't bought this game. Why? Because it is sooo addictive that I can't stop playing it. The scenarios teach you the basics and free-form allows you to create a beautiful zoo or a terror filled zoo of havoc. And to make it even better, you can download new stuff from Microsoft. (I still haven't figured out what to do with the yeti - anitsocial beast won't come out of its cave.)

Summary: Tons of fun
Review: I have never been into sims, but this game proved to be a lot of fun and very addictive. The premise is simple: build a zoo and keep your animals and visitors happy so you can make a lot of money (to improve your zoo). The interface is also easy to master, although I often refer to the manual to get hints on how to do things better. The most fun feature for me is the things you can do to keep the animals happy -- personally I don't really care about human visitors :) -- and this alone has kept me playing the game for hours at a time.

Summary: One of the best games o f the world
Review: This game is really good! When I played a demo, I loved it, but when I played the real game I liked it a lot more! Zoo Tycoon is one of the best games in my opinion. Don't have one? What are you waiting for? Buy one and be sure that you aren't spending out your money!

Summary: Zoo Tycoon...A must have game!
Review: Zoo Tycoon is by far the best game I have ever purchased! Not only does it provide for hours of entertainment and fun, it also is very educational and challenging! The graphics are very good, comparable to Roller Coaster Tycoon. The game was very easy to learn, and I was building a zoo in no time at all! Awesome game!

Summary: Addictive
Review: If you like games that have simulations and not violence then you will love this game. You need to design, build, and maintain a working zoo. You have animals and people to keep happy. You have up keep on your property and you need to pay your workers.
I have found this game to be a challenge. I play it everyday trying new designs for the scenarios building on my knowledge each day. Design of the zoo is very important. You start by building enclosure and pleasing the animals but soon it is just not the animals you need to please now you must also please the people. You think that you have won the scenario, oh but no the black leopards are not having fun. You give them a toy and now the people can not find a bench. You put one in and now you need a maintenance worker because trash is overflowing. etc...
This game is full of challenges. It is hours of fun. Do not think that you will be able to start the game and walk away in a couple of hours and not think about it. You will be think of strategies at work and in bed.
You will become Addicted!!

Summary: A worthy competitor to RollerCoaster Tycoon.
Review: Basically, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the best sim game ever. Zoo Tycoon is a great sim- yet different.
While RollerCoaster Tycoon is somewhat quick-paced, Zoo Tycoon takes patience. Screaming rollercoasters aren't quite the same as keeping quiet Pandas happy. However, despite the slow pace, Zoo Tycoon can keep you glued to the screen for hours.
My favorite mode is free mode, where you simply design a zoo with a given amount of money. Implementing your zoo scenery and landscaping with your exhibits is an interesting and difficult task.
There are over 40 animals, tons of exhibit foliage, fences, and toys, as well as three different staff members to hire. The result? A game big enough to keep you entertained. If you enjoyed RollerCoaster Tycoon, this is worth a shot. If you loved RCT, buy this now.

Summary: Fun, fun, fun...
Review: This game brings a new challenge to the typical "Tycoon" games. Not only do you have to please your visitors, but you have to keep your animals happy. Each animal requires a specific habitat, and it's a challenge to keep your animals happy, while still maintaining an enjoyable visit for your Zoo guests. There are many different animals, and it's fun to add money to research to see what animals, and other stuff becomes available. There is also a freeform version to the game, so you can have as much money as you'd like, and just go crazy building an amazing zoo. If you enjoy "Sim" or "Tycoon" games, you will definitely get hooked on this one as well! Enjoy!
