Hi All Friends. Thank you for Reading My review Again. I like Strategy Games. That Why I Played Many Of them The Top of them is Strong Hold 1&2 I also like others (Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations 1&2, Age Of Empires………) but these all games on battles and covering region but the zoo tycoon Is different is the strategic game but in it you have to create zoo not to create army. This game is very interesting and amusing you have to create paths. Have to place different animals and create rest rooms and many many more. You have to make all the decisions you have a free reign, to do what you like.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sounds & Graphics~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sounds & Graphics of this game is very cool and. The best thing is that it doesn’t require too much heavy processor or graphic card. That’s why it can be installed easily on any system with out any problem. The Sounds in this game is good and will not let you bored. And you will enjoy every time you played that game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~From Where I Buy It~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outline of This Game~~~~~~~~~
As from its name “Zoo Tycoon” This game is all about zoo. In this game you are the head of everything you have to manage all the things and you have to decide all things in managing all the zoo activities. You have to make paths have to arrange staff and have to make all of your animals happy. There are some main things which should be decided before starting game.
The Size of Zoo. Which animal you want. How much staff required. Which Cage walls should be used? How much you charge the visitors Etc……..
The main theme of this game is to construct the zoo and has to manage it very well to it looks good and visitors come back again. You have to create and manage all the things so the zoo looks attractive for visitors and you earned income.
But the little bit boring thing in this game is that you have to make all of your animals happy and it will take much time and much cost to make all the animals happy but when you become expert then this problem will be solved.
Also the other thing is that you have to repair all of you cages in regular intervals of time otherwise your cage will breakdown and you animals will come out from the cage and the visitors will be scared of them and your repute will be gone down.
Anyways this game is not difficult but requires little bit patience and you will enjoy it very well many other interesting features of this game are outlined below. Please read them also.
~~~~~~Let’s Start the Game~~~~~~~
First thing you need is to install that game on your pc so you can play it. Once you installed the game you are ready to play it. You are feeling that you are new so how you can play that game don’t worry there are already three tutorials available for beginner so the can know how to play the game and how to manage all the things being a manager of this zoo.
The first tutorial is very easy and will not take too much time to understand. It shows you how to construct exhibits, place paths, cages, care for your animal etc.
The second tutorial shows you how to place food stalls, rest rooms, benches and care for your visitors Etc….
The third tutorial shows you how to manage your zoo, look after your animals and staff, and provide the best living qualities for your animals so they will be happy and visitors also enjoys to see them
Each tutorial progresses in difficulty, by providing you with a list of tasks to do, and a time limit. If you complete the list in the given time, you can then progress onto the next tutorial. If you do not complete the tutorial in the given time, you can not progress onto the next.
If you think that you can play the game without attending to the tutorials don’t worry you can play directly the game without wasting you time on tutorial.
~~~~~~Ways to Play Game~~~~~~~
There are three ways to play game they are given below.
Free Play. Scenario. Maps.
::::::::::: FREEPLAY:::::::::
A free play game has no end, unless you run out of money. This sort of game allows you to build what you want and how you want to build. You choose your map, and get stuck in. There are no tasks for you to complete and no time limit. If you are a beginner you will enjoy this game and also have some practice there so you can play the scenarios.
::::::::::::SCENARIO:::::::::
If you decide to play the scenario game, then there are three that are available to you, There are total 13 scenarios in which three are unlocked and other 10 are locked you have to play first three to unlock 4th then have to play forth to unlock 5th and so on.
First Three scenarios are easy but the difficulty lever will increase as you move further and further and go harder and harder but don’t worry you will complete them.
In Start of Every Scenario the list of tasks has been give to you and you have to complete all these tasks in given time to complete the scenario. You can check you progress in you game every time. So you can know what more things you have to decide to clear the scenario.
::::::::::: MAPS::::::::::::::
First of all I tell you what type of game you play in maps. Basically this is also a free play game but you have to decide which type of area you want each map is different from other in shape, size and type of ground. Some are hilly others are snowy and Etc… All together there are:
12 small maps, 9 medium maps, 7 large maps.
~~~~~~~OBJECTS of The Game to Make Game Attractive~~~~~~~~~ obviously if you are creating zoo you will need many things to make zoo complete attractive. To make all these modifications many objects are available in the game Some of them are described below. When designing your zoo, you have to think about what appeals to visitors. Some of the items available to you are:
These are not all the objects they are many of them there. And each category have many other things I mean in Paths there are many types of paths and each have different price much the price the better the quality.
~~~~~~~ANIMALS~~~~~~~~~
There are Lot of Animals in this game not all but have almost all known animals which make the visitors happy. Also you can also get others by Cheats.
In Start of the game you have some animals in your list but if you have appointed some researchers they will research some more animals and many other things as the time pass in the game. Some List of Common Animals are given Below.
Tigers Zebras Loins Horses Monkey Seals Leopards Hippos Crocodiles Rhinos Elephants And many more.
There are some Amazing animals which can be unlocked by cheats some of these are given below.
Pink Panthers Disco Rhinos Dinosaurs Mermaids And many more check cheats updates to get more information. ~~~~~~~~~Reality~~~~~~~~~ The Most reality of this game is that you can make many animals in cross breeding and this is the very amazing and interesting feature of this game. I created many cross breeds.
~~~~~~~~STAFF~~~~~~~~~~
To Maintain the zoo you need different kind of staff some for cleanliness, some for repair some for research and many other. Some of them are given below.
Zoo keepers Researchers Guides
Zoo keepers will help you feed, clean, heal and care for your animals. They also inform you of your animals needs.
Researchers will help you to research different things for the zoo so you can used the research items in the zoo to make it more attractive.
Tour guides will escort your visitors around the zoo, in a orderly fashion, making sure they see all the exhibits.
You can employ as many staff as you like, as long as you can afford their wages. They will not work for free!
Staff members can be assigned, by you, to certain areas in the zoo. If you do not assign them to any specific area or exhibit, they will wonder around freely, doing what they see that needs doing. If you assign them to an area or exhibit, they will only look after that, and monitor their area.
~~~~~~~~GAMEPLAY~~~~~~~
This game is very attractive and enjoyable but you also know that to create some thing good you need some time. But if you don’t want to waste you time in increasing money then upgrade then simply use cheats and make your zoo as much as good you want.
But the main thing in this game is that I will not let you bored and you will always enjoy playing more and more. You will like to have bigger and bigger zoo more animals more visitors and look of the zoo.
~~~~~~~My Suggestions for Others~~~~~ Hope you enjoy all of my review as it is about the enjoyable game. I suggest this game to everyone who love the strategic game because this game is about animal that’s why you can pass any time in playing this game. And I think if you play this game very well you can even open you zoo (Ha-ha Just Kidding). Anyways this game is very good and I suggest it to every one. Thank you for taking the time to read this opinion, sorry it was so long. :)

The scenario games are quite a good way of introducing yourself to the game and getting your teeth into it, and once you complete one you have the option to continue the game yourself. There are also some useful tutorials which everyone will skip, but ...

Advantages: Fun, addictive, cheap, downloads and expansion packs available Disadvantages: Can waste your whole life on this, only to go bankrupt
...my mates, I came across Zoo Tycoon on a low shelf at GameStation. I’d heard of the tycoon series, with Monopoly Tycoon, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Moon Tycoon, and a whole load of others, but I had never heard of Zoo Tycoon before. I picked it up, and glanced at the back. It looked great. I looked back at the front, and saw a circular sticker with the price of £8.99. “Definitely worth it,” I thought, and with that I went off to the counter.
... ...minutes later, after installing it, Zoo Tycoon was loading up. I got started, and was immediately drawn in to this wonderful game. The next thing I knew I was being thrown off the computer, because it was past midnight and everyone else was trying to sleep. I’d been playing all afternoon, and not even noticed I’d missed tea. Those of you who know how much I like my food will understand exactly how much that means. OVERVIEW OF ZOO TYCOON:

So after an evening of lovely food and drink and LOADS of opinion reading, mum fell asleep in her chair. This is not unusual. In fact, it was rather late for her to be falling asleep- it usually happens a lot earlier! Leaving mum in her silent slumber, I put in the disk.

These are where you are given a zoo that has already been started and you have to make it successful, or where you are not allowed to buy animals but they are donated to you, but all say that you have to have a certain popularity rating, number of guests and happy animals. The scenarios start off fairly easy, but they do get harder. It sometimes takes ...

...a few hours figuring out Zoo Tycoon. Zoo Tycoon is just another sim-game, with a gameplay and style that is instantly recognizable to those who have seen others in the genre, specifically Roller Coaster Tycoon. The premise of Zoo Tycoon is obvious, you are given a patch of land and a pile of cash, you build cages and enclosures for various animals, make sure there are enough hot dog vendors and ice cream carts, and you will be inundated by happy ... ...animals you are stocking your zoo with has got to be the most finicky creatures in the world.

Advantages: fun for all the family Disadvantages: none that i found
It has been a while since i played any of the tycoon games, I think that the last time was on my playstation, but while looking for a new game for my pc I came across zootycoon 2 the zoo keeper collection. I have had loads of fun playing it.
It also gives educational details when you click on items. Like the animals, you can find out information about the animals, and the plants. Where they come from, etc.
The zookeeper collection contains 3 fan favourites: zootycoon 2, the endangered species and the african adventure expansion packs. You can fill your zoo with some of the worlds rarest and most amazing animals.
It comes with a handy booklet for you to check out anything that you are unsure of. 2 discs and there are downloads available for the game. I just managed to lose all track of time playing it.

Advantages: new features which improve the old game, fabby new animals and show tanks Disadvantages: no extra things to download yet, and you might lose your job if you keep nodding off
I am already a ZooTycoon addict and this latest extension pack is just brilliant. I am bleary-eyed today, having been up half the night, unable to stop playing it on the PC. You can?t however use it unless you already have the existing ZooTycoon installed ? so what are you waiting for?
In Marine Mania you can add new marine animals to your zoo, or create a marine-only zoo if you really want to. I am so wrapped up with the new animals that I have hardly bothered with the old ones, apart from a few token lions and giraffes (in my experience the easiest creatures to look after).
As I explained in my original review of ZooTycoon, building a zoo is not just about putting animals in enclosures, it?s about keeping your guests happy, and Marine Mania has a lot of excellent features which will help with that.

Zoo Tycoon bears more than just a title similarity to Roller Coaster Tycoon: it even looks as if it's based on the same basic game engine. Building pens and paths, decorating, placing buildings and managing your staff, even the way your patrons look and how you tweak pricing all are extremely similar to the fun of Roller Coaster Tycoon. The game play consists of a series of inventive scenarios, sometimes building a zoo from scratch, and other times taking over a failing or failed zoo and bringing it back from the brink. Specifically, you've got to build pens and habitats with an eye toward the needs of each animal species. For example, putting bears in a savannah setting results in depressed, possibly sick, bears. You also have to tend to your human animals by including gift shops, restaurants, drink stands and bathrooms. Then you've got to adopt animals and hire zookeepers to tend your creatures. All of this costs money but cutting corners can result in irate customers and unhappy animals. Unhappy animals bore people, and worse they make it difficult to adopt more exotic and finicky creatures, such as pandas. Happy and well-fed animals will cavort and play, making your guests very happy. And happy guests mean more money for you to improve your zoo.It's a balancing act, keeping all the animals, keepers and little wandering people happy, but the game is also a decorator sim. You've got to beautify your park and it's easy to forget the specific scenario objectives and lose yourself in building the ultimate zoo. If you ultimately tire of the objectives, you can delete some of your fences and watch the animals run amok on your guests (sometimes, through negligence, they can break free on their own). The carnivores grab, pin, and fling your guests (no blood, and no killing here) and this lowers your zoo rating and dissuades people from visiting for a while. Still, it's great fun to watch.--Bob Andrews Complete Collection triples the fun by including all three popular games-Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania and Dinosaur Digs-along with bonus content providing players with an incredible assortment of land aquatic and prehistoric animals to build the ultimate zoo.
