Cons: Performance can be sluggish on medium-end machines when the zoo gets bigger

The Bottom Line: This is a must-have for sim gamers. Extremely addictive!

Review: Zoo Tycoon is an extremely popular franchise of the sandbox-type Simulation game. Zoo Tycoon 2 is the inevitable sequel that is extremely compelling for old and young alike. History Zoo Tycoon 2 was developed by Blue Fang of ...

Pros: Excellent graphics, easier game-play, new challenges.

Cons: Very different from the original, hard to get used to.

Review: I'll be the first one to admit, I was disappointed with Zoo Tycoon when I began playing. I didn't let this stop me. Zoo Tycoon the complete collection was one of my favorite games, the sequel couldn't be that bad. I was right. Zoo Tycoon 2 is ...

Pros: Carries the Sim franchise spirit, entertaining to interact with

Cons: Wish they'd spend more on their sounds and music.

The Bottom Line: A good sim game, that pulls you in for a few days.

Review: I've always loved a good sim game! I don't know what it is about them exactly, but something about being able to make something work together, and then when i'm a little bored, totally RUIN IT with style later that just makes a chorkle escape my lips. ...

Pros: great game whether young or old, adventurous and challenging

Cons: way too many new objects and animals; its overwhelming

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is that everyone should buy this game, because it is really fun to play when you have nothing to do. It is a game for all ages.

Pros: Excellent 3-D graphics and a large range of different animals and objects.

Cons: None really

Pros: Fun, challenging, educational, great graphics, good tutorial

Cons: Runs slowly with insufficient memory

Review: I really enjoy this game. You can build your own zoo, or you can play the included scenarios. There are many different levels (easy to very hard) for the scenarios, so there is something for everyone. The graphics are wonderful, and the amount of ...

Pros: more to do, more things to place and use

Cons: not even zooming out, sluggish, hangs up at times

Review: I don't like it as well as the original Zoo Tycoon simply because i doesn't zoom out enough to give you a better view of what you are doing. It is sluggish and tends to hang up once you get a lot going unless you have a really good graphics card. I had ...

Pros: Graphics aren't too bad and sound effects are good.

Cons: It's not Zoo Tycoon. Gameplay is totally different.

The Bottom Line: Don't expect this game to be Zoo Tycoon. Gameplay is different. It's much more virtual and closer to a sim.

Review: Being a huge fan of the original Zoo Tycoon, I was very excited to hear that Part 2 would be coming out. The original was so popular and such a wonderful format (even better than previously released tycoons and sims) that I was sure that this one ...

Pros: Has a cool concept.

Cons: Make's you sick. Doesn't work well.

Review: I had the best game in the world: Zoo Tycoon the entire collection. Then I decided to trade it in for Zoo Tycoon 2, the dissapointment. The effects and graphics are so bad you can't play it without getting dreadly ...
