 EVEN THE DEMO IS FIVE STAR, Mar 10, 2023
I downloaded the demo from microsoft and was amazed .Even though the demo gave you only four species of zoo animals ,I found myself hooked on the game and had to get the full version.Usually I play only fps games and had always found simulations ultra boring,but not so with Zoo Tycoon.It's a great game. I haven't tried the expansions and can't wait to eventually try them.I found myself playing the demo for hours.

build your dream zoo!!!, Feb 22, 2023
This game may not have the best graphics, but the scenarios and freeform games keep you busy. In scenarios you have different objectives to aclomplise. In freeform games, you have no boundaries (except money!) to hold you back. There are a total of 44 different species to choose from!!! There are also many awards you can get. The best award you can get-which I got not once but twice!- is best zoo in the country (even though I got it twice it is still hard to get!). One tip (in case you have money problems!) is to hold the shift+4 button (a.k.a $ button) and you get $10,000!!!

greatest game ever!!!!, Jan 2, 2023
I have the zoo tycoon complete collection--which is the best version, i think!!!! You have to select the building tool, then select a type of fence, and make your first exhibit. Bravo! Then, choose an animal. If you have the complete collection, you can choose marine animals, dinosaurs, or land animals. For dinosaurs you have to use a shock fence--if you don't want them to get out. For marine animals you need to use some sort of tank fence. And another thing. For marine animals that also go on land, you can combine the two and get a land--water exhibit. Choose an animal. Click on it, then click on..for dinosaurs: scientist's advice. For marine animals: marine specialist's advice. For land animals: Zookeeper's advice. Then follow the animal's red complaints first. Then follow the black ones. The red ones are the most urgent. Then try to shoo all of the complaints away by completing them. Then create another exhibit, and another and another...etc. Then create paths up to your exhibits for visitors, and buy attractions so your zoo will get more money. Zoo tycoon is REALLY fun, and you should DEFINATELY try it out! I do think that it's the greatest game ever!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, and you also have to hire zoo staff, to clean up after the animals, and to feed them, and to train them for shows--marine animals. HAVE FUN WITH THIS!!!!!

Complete Collection turns it Up!, Nov 15, 2022
First of all, this game is great before you even play it, because of the fact it comes with the original Zoo Tycoon as well as both expansion packs all rolled into one, for a cheaper price than buying them all seperately, and you even get some bonus content thrown into the mix as well! This said, you now have even more hours of gametime on your hands running a zoo with dinos, marine animals, the original Zoo Tycoon animals, and all the bonus animals and objects. You can spend every waking moment creating the ultimate zoo with this game, then after much toil enjoy the fruits of your labour: everything from sitting back and watching an Orca perform your carefully planned show, or just watching gazelles run around and do their little happy hopping, or, just for plain good, cruel and inhumane fun, drop a guest who's ticked off at your zoo (even after all your hard work) into a T-rex enclosure. (Hehehe, not that I've ever done that). Anyway, I highly recommend this game. P.S Don't forget to watch for Zoo Tycoon 2 comin' in full 3-D I might add! (I'm gettin myself when it comes out).

 Kind of Fun, Nov 14, 2022
Zoo Tycoon is a ok game. You control a zoo and try to make it a good zoo. It is a lot like rollercoaster tycoon. The bad thing about it is it gets boring, It takes a long time to build up a zoo with a lot of animals. The grafics are ok but not the best. It is worth 15 dollars not 20. If you like rollercoaster tycoon you should maybe get it.
