Summary: Great game!
Review: This is a great game if you like animals. It does get a little annoying when across the screen it says " zookeeper 11 is having trouble getting into girafe gardens". Zookeeper 11 just isn't smart enough. Eventully he will get in the exibit. It is fun to make the exibits right for the animals, although the animals usally have complaints. It is also annoying because if the guests are thirsty and put him in front of a drink stand he walks away without bying a drink. He does`nt see the machine. He isn't smart enough. The game is fun and has okay graphics. I would recomend it to someone who has the time and patient to work with the animals. (and guests.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zoo-Tycoon: Marine MANIA
Review: If you have the original Zoo Tycoon computer game, this is a fun addition, complete with great marine creatures. I would suggest it for boys and girls, ages 9+. You can create animal parks with both traditional Zoo animals as well as marine organisms. Very addictive! The only down side to having it, is that your zoos from Zoo Tycoon get erased, and you have to rebuild them. Overall, a great game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The bestest game
Review: This is the bestest game in the whole wide world because you can download heaps of animals onto it. You can click on the animals if you don't know how to build an exhibit, or just build it if you know how to. I play it all day if I can.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Zoo Tycoon, Can you say AWSOME?!?!
Review: This CD rocks. I love it and play it constenly. It is so fun. You make your own zoo and have shows. You also get to put up resturaunts, food stands, and entertainment. They're are tons of animals to choose from too. Well anyway Get up and buy it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Real Time Strategy Games Ever!
Review: This one of the most creative and enjoyable RTS games on the market. The premise is simple: Build a zoo with a variety of exhibits that satisfies some given criteria. There is a lot more to completing that task than just putting some bars around some critters! You have to take the animals into consideration, as well as the guests who want to see them.

I have had this game for over a year now, and I still play it all the time. I like the freeform game where you can try to build a zoo that has every available animal and object.

Except for some animals fighting if they are put in the same cage, this game is nonviolent and appropriate for the entire family. Although, some younger children may find it a bid challenging so they can play with mom or dad!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun!
Review: I really enjoyed the first Zoo Tycoon, and for people who want to create the ultimate animal park, this is the expansion pack to get. There is a wealth of detail in this game and quite a lot of new features. I love the listening to the people cheer at my dolphin shows, and the creepy calls of a full dinosaur park in action is something to behold! There is a wonderful range of animals to choose from, as well as food stalls and decorate accents.

However, I find this version a little more difficult to use. Setting up your aquatic tanks, keeping them clean, and creating a show tank take a little persistance and concentration. There also seems to be a new feature of the dinosaur park in that even if you use the strongest fences and keep them meticulously maintained, the carniverous dinos can still bash through and cause a little havok on your park. I get the impression though that this might have been intentionally built into the design, and that perhaps dinos are supposed to be more of a challenge to keep. (Hence also the requirment to keep a helocopter pad in your park to capture stray dinos.) I like to keep a well ordered park myself, but there is some fun also in watching a huge raving dino rage about your pathways, flinging guests and causing screaming and pandemonium!

This is a good game, but more suited to adults or children with high attention spans and a lot of patience. I did have a few minor problems with my dino park crashing, but it seems to be a relatively rare occurance. Overall, I recommend this game for any one that loves detailed simulation games that allow you to get into the nitty gritty of creating.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth the money at all....Dont waste it!
Review: This game is awful. the dinosaurs are VERY picky. they like a lot of plants, but then they run over them and get mad about the rubble. It is very hard to keep them happy. also, i hired a crew that catches dinos if they escape. when my spinosaurus got out and started eating people, they just stood there! all my guests were screaming and running from my zoo. Very frustrating, and a money waster!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't Buy This Game!!!!!
Review: This is great game and a very fun addition to Zoo Tycoon, but you can get it with Marine Mania for the same price as it alone.

The game itself adds plenty of new animals with the addition of dinosaurs. You now have a scientist and a dinosaur collection team. Oh Yeah, if the T-Rex gets out, he will eat your guests!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun game for the entire family!
Review: The Zoo Tycoon series is one of the greatest thing to happen to RTS (Real Time Strategy) since the invention of the optical mouse! Marine Mania offers a new twist with the introduction of animals that must have aquatic habitats.

This game also comes with the "Dinosaur Digs" expansion, which is frustrating if you have already purchased it, and great if you haven't The combination of the games gives you a ton of challenging scenerios and batch of animals to keep in your zoo.

I only wish you could pick up unhappy guests and throw those whiners in the lake like you can in Roller Coaster Tycoon!

Overall, this is a fabulous game with tons of replay value. It is a good, non-violent game to add to your collection.
