AWESOME and ADDICTINGDec 02, 2006
By L. A. Pyka "Romance Reader"
I was buying these for my sister who is in her thirties, when I read the latest review. I don't know what that person is talking about. I love this game and so does the rest of my family! The animals do make sounds, I love the zebra it's my fave!! The koalas scream or cry for their mothers. Anyway I had the first one, and it is completely boring compared to this, you can not even compare them. Night and Day! My daughter is 10 and loves this and I guess it's ageless because I am 40 and love it too! I think my daughter and I have about ten zoos each. AAA++++

A Really Great GameMar 03, 2007

Hi.First of all, I loved Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2, so did my brothers. Also, it is a lot more fun with the expansion pack Zookeeper collection. You get the przewalski wild horse, which is great for me, and the Jeep vehicle tour, which my brothers are really happy about. The only problem we had was our videocard. It was pretty old, too, we just got a new better one, and that was cheap, so now it works great. We do a lot more than just make zoos, too. We make pretend horse stables, farms, and we even imprison guests with tigers. Microsoft did a really good job with this one.

A Good ImprovementMar 03, 2007
By E.S "phantom_horse"
I recently got this game bought for me as a gift. I have played and loved Zoo Tycoon the first edition and in many ways was a little hesitant about how much it could improve but I would like to say I was over all impressed. I have played now for several hours and I have had no problems that others have mentioned. They have improved the graphics a lot and I love being able to create water falls and new terrains. The old ways of having to have enough money for the right land is no longer there. And also you don't have to complete all the beginner levels to go up. Each section has a beginner, normal and hard. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because for me I fine the mouse to sensitive in the game and also end up with paths in places I didn't want. It took me a while to place things and also being able to create hills that my animals didn't get stuck on and then complain about. But over all I would say if you liked the first you will love this as it has got better. And if you like other tycoon type games this is a good one to try especially now at this price.

Best game I've played since Animal CrossingMay 22, 2008
By Tree Hugger "Barb"
I'm a 40+ years old female, and I LOVE this game. In a large universe of "slash 'em up", "blow them away" games, the Zoo Tycoon series are a breath of fresh air for kids and grownups. My neices introduced me to the Zoo Tycoon 2 game, and I just _had_ to get the Zookeeper addition.

Here is what I love about the zookeeper pack that is new since the regular Zoo Tycoon 2 game:

* You can create rides through your exhibits with real Jeeps (Wranglers, Liberties and Commanders) and there are a couple of new accessorise to drive through (giant redwood tree, crystal tunnel).

* You can create sky tram rides over your exhibits, and there are neat new accessories to put under them (volcano, geiser, fog machine).

* There are additional interesting animals amd accessories (my favorite is the Galapagos Giant Tortoise, and the heat lamp and pond that they come with).

* You can actually RIDE the skytram and jeeps (and change seats to watch visitor reactions)!! This makes it a lot more fun than if you couldn't ride.

* As an avid gardener, I appreciate the new fun plants - barrel cactus, lady's slipper, prickly pear cactus, etc.

I have a very hard time finding games that are fun and interesting for me. The first one that really hooked me was animal crossing (cube and ds versions). This is the second one that really hooked me. I love all of the different items, and the flexibility to make the zoo reflect my creativity and personality. I encourage all of those game makers to continue producing fun, educational, interesting, flexible, non-violent games. Seems like the few that are out there are really doing well.

Just in case someone who designs Zoo Tycoon updates happens to read this, here are some things I would love to see in future games:

* More accessories for each specific biome (like the rainforst fence, or the tundra/desert ones currently in the game). I don't really need one of every kind of food cart, but having specific fences, benches, light posts, restrooms, fountains and statues has been really fun for me.

* The ability to participate with more things; being able to go into the gift shops and view the merchandise (maybe even to buy things), go into the restaurants and see how popular they are, go on the new Sky Tower ride, etc.

* While the terrain adjustments are much improved, there are still some bugs. for example, even though an exhibit is completely enclosed by fencing, there are still times when I adjust the depths of the ground in the exhibit, and it creates pockets of unpassable sections outside the exhibit.

* It would be nice if you got a lot of zookeepers, if they would actually do all of the work they are capable of. I like using the freeform games, and if I just want to walk around the zoo for a while, I get 5 zookeepers per exhibit, but they still don't do everything that needs to be done to keep the animals fully happy. I like being able to help groom, restock food and clean up, but don't want to be _required_ to do it if I load my zoo with zookeepers and maintenance workers (note: I am okay with having to do this in the challenge and campaign modes, however).

* Sometimes the placement of objects seems a bit "clunky". For example, I would love to surround my gazebo with small fountains and gardens, but there is a huge space around a gazebo where you can not put things. It would be nice if the grid on those items could be tightened up.

* Unlike some of the other reviewers, I don't mind paying for upgrades for better features. I don't think a game manufacturer should be expected to populate a game with a ton of features if it has not yet proven to be a good seller. there needs to be _enough_ features in the first game, and I have been pleased with the amount that were available in the standard Zoo Tycoon 2 game. And I was also very pleased with the new ones available in this new zookeeper addition. I think the value for the money is very good with these games.

* I also LOVE the ability to increase the settings manually for the game (water detail, terrain detail, object details, environment details, music volume, etc.). I will be the first to admit that my laptop is not high powered, and I set it for things that really stretch its ability to populate the game correctly. The one thing I noticed, however, is when the game starts to get overloaded, the first thing that goes wrong seems to be that some of the visitors don't have heads anymore!!! It's kind of creepy walking around and seeing an occasional headless person. Ha! But I can lower the settings to take care of this. For future versions, if the game was going to "bonk" on something, I would hope it would lose a garden or flower details before people's heads dissapeard. :-)

As you can tell, I think this game ROCKS! :-)

overall, a good gameJun 21, 2007
By M. Ahrens "maggieliz"
I thoroughly enjoyed the first incarnation, and am truly sinking my teeth into this one as well; really well-done game.

In particular, I'm thrilled that I don't have to search for the one hunk of 'trampled' terrain that makes sensitive animals unhappy, or play 'guess the magic incarnation' for terrain. This is much more fun, and although the critters are more 'cartoony' overall the game is much more solid.

I'm not thrilled that they're taking a page from the sims and releasing bits and parts that should have been incorporated into the game from the beginning. There's making a profit on your product, and then there's nickle and dime-ing your fan base.

Overall I'm pleased, but it would have been nice to not have to shell out $20 for upgrades to a $40 game, when...really.. they should have been in the release to begin with.

Oh - and the reviewer that tagged this 'defective by design' ? Yeah - it's not their fault you're not bright enough to work a computer. Spewing venom all over your review (and highlighting your ignorance) isn't the way to go about this. It's not them... it's you.
